Jump to Summary

The United States secured a seven-wicket victory over Canada in the opening match of the T20 World Cup held in Dallas, Texas. Aaron Jones was instrumental in the win, scoring an unbeaten 94 from just 40 balls. This performance led to the highest-ever run chase in a T20 international, with the US surpassing the previous record of 169. Despite Canada's 194 for five, the US managed to reach the target with 14 balls remaining. Andries Gous also made a significant contribution with 65 runs off 46 balls.

Canada's Navneet Dhaliwal scored 61 runs, helping his team to a competitive total. However, key wickets from Dillon Heyliger and Nikhil Dutta were not enough to contain the US batting lineup. This victory marked the USA's debut in top-flight cricket in the World Cup. The tournament continues with the West Indies facing Papua New Guinea and Oman playing against Namibia in their respective opening matches.
