USA Vs CAN T20 World Cup 2024: It was a historic night at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas as the USA chased down a massive target to grab their first-ever T20 World Cup victory.
USA faced Canada in the opener of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and there was no shortage of fireworks. Both teams showed their aggressive intent and played fearless cricket right from the start.
While batting first, Canada set a massive target of 195 runs for the USA and with their disciplined bowling, USA struggled at first. But as soon as Aaron Jones entered the ground, the match completely changed and we saw a record chase.

It was a sensational match as Canada was sensational with the bat in the first innings. With the help of half-centuries from Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton, the Maple Leaves went past 190 with ease.
The USA lost their first wicket in the first over itself and were in big trouble. The whole PowerPlay was underwhelming as they were only able to score 42 runs in that phase. Skipper Monank Patel departed in the 7th over with only 48 runs on board.
But it was time for Aaron Jones to come out and change the game. A scintillating knock of 94 runs in just 40 deliveries set the chase on fire. It was a record-breaking inning that created this historic feat for the host nation.
