Aaron Jones’ Blitzkrieg Takes USA Home Against Canada
Aaron Jones, who is from Queens in New York has proved to be one of the USA’s top run-scorers in recent times. And he showcased his talent on the biggest stage by playing an unbeaten, match-winning knock against Canada.
Batting first, Canada posted 194/5 in their 20 overs. While it seemed like a challenging total to chase at the halfway stage, the USA made a mockery of Canada’s bowling attack, reaching the target in just 17.4 overs. Jones remained unbeaten on 94, while Andries Gous contributed with a 46-ball 65. Jones hit four boundaries and 10 towering sixes, scoring at an impressive strike rate of 235. He rightfully was awarded the Player of the Match award for his heroics.
USA will lock horns with Pakistan in their next match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the same stadium in Dallas, Texas.
