Pakistan thought it was playing USA, turned out to be Team India H-1B
—The Indian Express, commenting on the shocking win of the Us Criucket team against Pakistan in the World Cup
I have about as much interest in, and knowledge of, Cricket as I do the subtleties of Zoroastrian theology, but I am interested in the H1B angle.
This wasn't Pakistan losing to India B, it was Pakistan losing to India H1-B. That was the popular take on Friday at Dallas where USA shocked one-time world champions Pakistan in a nail-biting Super Over finish in a group game of the World T20. With as many as six cricketers of Indian descent, most of them on temporary H1-B visas that allow companies to hire overseas employees, featuring in the historic win, the joke would be a hit in the immigrant community.
Yeah, it's a pretty good joke.
