Cricket World Cup

After three hours of intense play and roaring cheers, India won the match against the U.S., which secured India's spot in the cup's next round.

The match, which was one of eight hosted in Nassau County’s Eisenhower Park for the Cricket World Cup, was packed with fans who traveled internationally to see the game.

Nassau County is slated to host the Cricket World Cup’s premiere match – aside from the finals – this Sunday, when cricket powerhouse teams representing India and Pakistan meet for a showdown.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said they take every threat seriously, and have been preparing to keep both the matches and the rest of Long Island safe next weekend.
