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.
Presentation time...
Not a lot to talk about Canada's bowling performance. They started well with the ball but once the USA counter-attacked, it all went downhill for Canada. Kaleem Sana, Dilon Heyliger, and Nikhil Dutta took one piece but Canada were outplayed in the end as USA chased the score with more than 2 overs to spare. Earlier in the day, Canada made 194 for 5 on the back of attacking fifties from Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicolas Kirton while Aaron Johnson and Shreyas Movva also made handy runs. Harmeet Singh was the standout bowler for USA with an economy under 7 and took a wicket as well. Canada will face harder challenges against stronger teams but they will hope to put up a better show in their upcoming games.
WHAT A DOMINANT WIN! A thumping victory for the co-hosts USA, who start their tournament with a BANG. Chasing a massive score of 195 for the win, USA started tenatively and lost Steven Taylor for a golden duck. Monank Patel and Andries Gous stuck around for a while and added 42 for the second wicket. Monank Patel departed for 16 in the seventh over and in came Aaron Jones. He stuck the ball cleanly from the start of the innings and tilted the momentum in his team's favor. Him alongside Gous, added a brillaint 131 for the third wicket in less than ten overs. Jones peppered boundaries at will and never allowed Canada the chance to get back. Gous started slowly but stuck around and made 65 off 46 to support Jones. It was Aaron Jones, who was the star of the chase with an unbeaten 94 off just 40 and gives USA, their first ever win the T20 World Cup.

Time for Drinks! USA are slowly but steadily getting the momentum back in the game. They struggled in the powerplay and lost both their openers but Aaron Jones has come out with positive intent and is striking crisply. He needs to carry on with Gous and take the innings deep for USA to have a chance. Canada, meanwhile, started well with their pace bowlers but the spinners have found it tough with the dew around the outfield. The Canadians will hope to keep taking regular wickets and stem the flow of runs. An exciting chase is upon us. Don't go anywhere!

Kaleem Sana To Andries Gous
FOUR! Andries Gous with USA's first-ever boundary in the T20 World Cup and that ends a fascinating first over. Short of a length and dug in a bit over the stumps, Gous rocks back a bit and gets enough on the pull shot to get it in between mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary.

And again! Full and wide outside off, going on with the angle, Andries Gous leaves it alone and the keeper springs to hiss right to glove it nicely.

Kaleem Sana To Andries Gous
A bit fuller and wider of the off stump, this one keeps going away with the angle, Andries Gous looks to drive and is beaten well past the outside edge as the ball dies on its way to the keeper. The umpire is having a word with the keeper and skipper of Canada, looks like the keeper was caught speaking a few too many unnecessary words.

Kaleem Sana To Andries Gous
Pitched up on off stump and this one just nips back in off the deck, Andries Gous stays watchful and defends it under his eyes.

Kaleem Sana To Steven Taylor OUT!
OUT! LBW! What a start for Kaleem Sana! Sana bowls this a tad short around middle and gets the natural angle into the left-hander. Steven Taylor looks to tuck it away but gets squared up and plays all over the ball. The ball goes on to hit the pads and the finger goes up almost intsantly after the appeal. Steven Taylor has a word with Monank Patel and takes the review. There is nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds as well. The dangerous Taylor departs and Canada have started with a bang!
