USA vs CAN T20 World Cup Highlights: Aaron Jones sizzles in USA's 7-wicket win over Canada

USA vs Canada T20 World Cup Live Score: USA captain Monank Patel won the toss and opted to bowl first against Canada in the opening game of the T20 World Cup at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Saturday.

The earlier bad weather had cleared up, leaving behind pleasant evening sunshine for the toss, marking the T20 World Cup debut for both teams and the first-ever World Cup match on American soil.

The USA is co-hosting the tournament with the West Indies, with 16 group stage games to be held across three American venues: South Florida, New York, and Dallas.

The USA enter the opener in good form, following a surprising 2-1 T20I series win over Bangladesh, and is favored against a Canada team it has dominated in recent encounters.

A restrained opening ceremony featured flag-bearers representing the 20 teams participating in this expanded T20 World Cup, the largest in history after the International Cricket Council increased the tournament's size from 16 teams.

Drinks break! Right then, the first 10 overs of the first innings are done and Canada seem to be in a good position with the bat and Navneet Dhaliwal now holds the key for them With 8 wickets still in hand, Canada will look to accelerate in the second half of the innings. USA have bowled well in patches but do need a couple of wickets or so on the bounce to really make a dent in the opposition's batting lineup. An exciting 10 overs beckon, so, let's get right back into the action.
