USA batsman Aaron Jones says he thrives under pressure, and evidently so after his explosive innings led the tournament co-hosts to a seven-wicket victory over Canada in the opening game of the T20 World Cup on Saturday night.
Aaron Jones was at a loss for words after starring in the USA's seven-wicket demolition of Canada in the T20 World Cup opener in which the New Yorker introduced himself to cricket's elites with a 40-ball 94. Set a target of 195, USA stuttered initially, losing opener Steven Taylor for zero in the second ball of the innings, and were 42/2 after 6.3 overs. But Jones had other ideas as he came up with a counter-attacking knock to script a memorable win with 14 balls to spare.
India showcased a dominating performance against Bangladesh in their only warm-up game for the T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday in New York. Batting first, India posted a whopping total of 182/5 in 20 overs with Rishabh Pant scoring 53 off 32 balls. Later, Arshdeep Singh and Shivam Dube bowled brilliant spells as India restricted Bangladesh to 122/9 and won the match by 60 runs. This warm-up game turned out to be a great practice for India before the beginning of the group stage. But, Virat Kohli wasn't a part of the squad for the game.
When India and Pakistan square off in cricket at world stage, it is more than just a game. India and Pakistan have had a history and national pride is at stakes when these two sides meet. Since both teams don't play each other anymore in bilaterals due to the political differences, fans only get two see India and Pakistan face off at ICC or ACC events. India and Pakistan are set to renew their rivalry on June 9 at the T20 World Cup, with New York ready to host the first ever match between the two sides.
As the T20 World Cup 2024 begins, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers got Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on board for an interview on his YouTube channel. The cricketing duo spoke about various on-the-field topics but De Villiers got really annoyed as a fan tried to make fun of Babar Azam's English. The Proteas and Royal Challengers Bengaluru legend was in no mood to let the troll leave after saying such things and decided to respond to the comment on social media.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will look to end more than a decade long wait for an ICC trophy at the upcoming T20 World Cup, starting June 2 in the West Indies and USA. India last won an ICC trophy in 2013, beating England in the Champions Trophy final under the leadership of MS Dhoni. With Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach set to end after the T20 World Cup, the former India captain has one final chance to cement his legacy and bow out in style. Last year, Dravid was at the helm as India lost to Australia in the ODI World Cup final.
Star India batter Virat Kohli received his ICC ODI Player of the Year award and was also selected for ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year 2023 in New York as his side prepares to play the T20 World Cup opener against Ireland on June 5. The official handle of ICC took to Instagram on Saturday morning to post a video of Virat being given his trophy and cap, in acknowledgement of an incredible 2023 he had with the bat.
The T20 World Cup begins in Dallas, Texas, tonight but all eyes will be on the big showdown between India and Pakistan in a little over a week.
