The United States announced its arrival in top-flight cricket in stunning fashion as Aaron Jones introduced himself with a 40-ball 94, propelling the team to a seven-wicket win over Canada in their T20 World Cup opener.

Electing to bat first, Canada set a competitive 194 for five on the board, but the USA transformed what seemed like a daunting chase into a comfortable victory, reaching the target with a remarkable 14 balls to spare. New York-born Jones led the charge, smashing 10 sixes and four boundaries to make a memorable statement for his team of expatriates.
