Just turned it on. I am disappointed in Canada’s jerseys.
Yeah, it's not the most exciting design. It definitely hasn't stopped them from scoring though! I like the US jerseys, but I've got to say I'm a little biased! 😉
US jerseys are nice. Canada seems to be batting well though. Going to put the pressure on the US.
They have been. One more over and we'll see what type of response there is. It hasn't been boring, that's for sure!
194-5 @Undisciplined is in disbelief
I don't understand what you're saying well enough to be in a state of disbelief.
If that's some sort of score, it's crazy enough to pique my interest, though.
Well, @grayruby! Who is in disbelief now???
That was embarrassing bowling. Not over yet though. Looking bleak but not over yet.
Yes Canada scored 194 runs and US got 5 wickets. US is batting now they have 42 runs so far and Canada has gotten 2 wickets. Right now US is on pace to score 150 runs. So they definitely need to step it up.
Well that clears everything right up.
You were right. That score proved way under par. It's chased down while 14 balls remaining.
Score wasn’t bad. Canada’s bowling and fielding were bad.
What’s the penalty for bowling the ball wide? Does the pitcher get removed? Why wouldn’t you just throw it wide every time so they can’t hit it?
Wide balls don't count as a ball in the over. The bowler has to have six balls that are not wide to complete the over. They also add a run to the batting team's total. I'm not entirely sure what happens if the bowler has a very large number of wide balls though.
Gotcha

Good to know, thanks for the additional information!
USA have made a great start to this World Cup that they are co-hosting. They looked down and out for a while in this run chase but Aaron Jones decided to play an outstanding innings. Taylor fell for a nought. Patel couldn't get going and perished. Gous wasn't exactly going great and the asking rate shot up with the team only going at 6 per over at the 8-over mark. Both Gous and Jones decided to press the accelerator. 19, 14, 10, 15, 20, 33 were scored in the next 6 overs and stun Canada and blow them away. Jones was the aggressor and recorded the fastest T20I fifty for USA. His slogging, slog-sweeping, leg-side play was at its level best and he played one hell of a counterattacking innings.

Aaron Jones
I see only @graruby has chosen Canada as winners and he was right until the 9th over of the second innings. But then, crickets unpredictability took over.
Nice summary. Like it.
This is one of the best chase I've ever see! What an innings from Jones! I don't want to take credit away for Gous as well! That partnership between Gous and Jones has turned the pendulum in favour of US.
After the first innings finished, everyone gave a chance to Canada. They lived it up with 2 wickets early in US innings. But then, there's no looking back.
A record of Sixes by Jones in World cup!
Aaron Jones definitely deserves the player of the match award. Ten total sixes, and he ended the match in grand style.
