Aaron Jones was at a loss for words after his stellar performance led the USA to a seven-wicket triumph over Canada in the T20 World Cup opener. Jones impressed the cricketing elites with a 94-run knock off 40 balls.

Facing a target of 195, the USA stumbled initially, losing Steven Taylor for a duck in the second ball and struggling at 42/2 after 6.3 overs. However, Jones orchestrated a counter-attack with a magnificent 131-run partnership alongside Andries Gous, who scored 65 off 46 balls.

'It's hard to describe this feeling. We know Canada always comes hard at us, but I’m glad I could lead us to victory,' said Jones, who smashed 10 sixes, the second most in a T20 World Cup innings, just behind Chris Gayle's 11. Jones' heroics ensured the USA's highest run chase in T20Is, with 14 balls remaining.
