Canada made 194 with the loss of five wickets in their 20 overs after being put to bat first by United States
In the T20 World Cup opener, the USA clinched victory over Canada by seven wickets, propelled by Aaron Jones' explosive 94 off 40 balls. Canada posted 194-5, led by Navneet Dhaliwal (61) and Nicholas Kirton (51). In response, despite a shaky start, the USA cruised to victory with 2.2 overs to spare, courtesy of a formidable partnership of 131 runs between Jones and Andries Gous (65). Shreyas Movva's late cameo (32* off 16) boosted Canada's total. Ali Khan, Harmeet Singh, and Corey Anderson each took a wicket. This historic rivalry dates back to cricket's first international match in 1844. Both teams are in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, and Ireland.
