T20 World Cup: Jones' 94 Powers USA To Record Victory Over Canada In Opener
T20 World Cup: The USA launched their ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign in style, as Aaron Jones’ unbeaten 94 off 40 guided the hosts to a confident seven-wicket win over their neighbours Canada, in what was the debut for both the sides in T20 showpiece.
On the back of Navneet Dhaliwal's 61 off 44 and Nicholas Kirton's 51 off 31, Canada posted a total of 194/5. In response, vice-captain Jones’ quickfire 94* studded with 10 sixes and four fours along with Andries Gous’ fighting 65 helped USA overcome Canada’s ask of 195 in merely 17.4 overs.
The hosts will be very proud of their team’s collective effort as they registered the highest-ever chase in the history of USA T20 internationals and also the third-highest chase ever in a T20 World Cup match.
