The Philadelphia Phillies slugger was impressed by the United States pulling off a huge upset over Pakistan at the Twenty20 World Cup in Texas.

Bryce Harper can recognize great hitting, even if it's in cricket.He didn't quite know the names, but few Americans do.U.S. captain Monank Patel scored 50 runs and Aaron Jones hit the ball out of the park — a "six" in cricket because it's good for six runs — late in the match to help the Americans catch 2022 runner-up Pakistan on Thursday and force a "super over" before winning in the extra frame.

Lindor, after signing balls and gloves for fans inside London Stadium at the end of the Mets' workout, told The Associated Press that batting in cricket is quite tricky.The "bowlers" throw balls that usually bounce first before reaching the "batsman" — intending to either knock off a "wicket" behind the batter or force a pop up or tipped ball that is caught. That is also called a wicket, and the batter is out."It was very difficult," Lindor said.
