The fifties from Navneet Dhaliwal (61 off 44 balls) and Nicholas Kirton (51 off 31 balls) helped Canada sustain the momentum, and then a 16-ball 32 cameo from Shreyas Movva at the end helped them post a challenging total on the board. Movva collected 21 runs from the last over to provide the much-needed impetus to Canada’s innings
Ali Khan, Harmeet Singh and Corey Anderson picked up a wicket each for the United States of America. USA’s highest successful chase in T20Is was 169 and they will need to create history if they want to own the opening night of this edition of the mega event

After losing a few wickets early, USA saw Aaron Jones and Andries Gous score a half-century each, with the former finishing off the chase with just 6 runs shy of his hundred.

Aaron Jones is the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock. He says it isn’t easy to put into words and it is a big rivalry but he is just happy to take his team over the line tonight. Adds that he knew anything around 200 was chasable and they backed themselves to do it. Mentions that he practices hard and then backs himself in the game. Reckons that he has been with the side for a while now and they have been under pressure, yet again iterates that he is happy to get his side home.
