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.
131 A Gous - A Jones vs Can Dallas 2024
110 S Modani - Gajanand Singh vs Ire Lauderhill 2021
104 M Patel - S Taylor vs Can Houston 2024
104 N Kumar - C Anderson vs Can Houston
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.
