CNN — A day after the United States orchestrated a shock defeat of Pakistan at the Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup, USA cricket player Corey Anderson told CNN the team has the confidence to beat any team they face. “We believe we can knock these big teams off if we caught them sleeping a bit or feeling like they were taking it a bit easy,” Anderson said. I think USA Cricket is just not that well known within America and I think we put ourselves a little bit more on the map.” United States' Saurabh Nethralvakar, left, celebrates after the win in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup cricket match against Pakistan at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas. “I’m extremely proud to be a part of this American team and I know when that national anthem comes on, it gives me some goosebumps and I never thought I would think that way about another country but I’m here and I do feel like that,” Anderson said.
