T20 World Cup 2024, USA vs Canada Award Winners: Aaron Jones' unbeaten 94 off 40 balls, including 10 sixes and four fours, propelled the USA to a seven-wicket victory over Canada in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 opener.

After opting to bowl first, USA faced an early setback when Kaleem Sana dismissed Steve Taylor for a duck. Andries Gous (65) and captain Monank Patel attempted to rebuild, but Monank fell for 16.

A quick 19-run over against Nikhil Dutta and explosive hitting from Jones accelerated the chase. Jones hit three sixes in the 13th over to register the fastest T20I fifty for the USA. Gous contributed a fifty of his own before being dismissed, but Jones' continued onslaught secured the win.

Canada posted a competitive total, with Navneet Dhaliwal (50) and Nicholas Kirton, contributing to a solid start. Late fireworks from Shreyas Movva and Dilpreet Bajwa added 35 runs in the last two overs, but USA's batting brilliance overshadowed their efforts.

USA vs CAN, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 1: Who Said What

Aaron Jones, Man of the Match: "I don't think it is easy to put it into words. Happy to get my team over the line. I thought anything under 200 is chaseable. We wanted to play aggressive cricket. I think I go through my process while I practice. To be honest, when my team is under pressure it gets the best out of me."

Monank Patel, USA captain: "We always we knew he (Aaron Jones) had the game. He played fearless cricket. Really happy to see the crowd in numbers, hope they continue to give us the support. We want to continue the way we play are playing (fearless cricket). We don't want to change anything whether we play Pakistan or India."

Saad Bin Zafar, Canada captain: "194 was a great total. I was pretty happy. We started well but Jones and Gous batted exceptionally well and our bowlers had no chance. Pitch had good bounce and it did get better for batting in the second innings with dew coming in. We missed the line and lengths.

"No balls and extras we shouldn't have given away those. We played an exceptional game overall. Nothing to be sad effort. Good effort from the boys, this is just the start and hope we can do well in the next game."
