USA vs Canada Scorecard and Highlights- Post-Match Interviews

Player of the Match, Aaron Jones: I don't think it is easy to put it into words. Happy to get my team over the line. I thought anything under 200 is chaseable. We wanted to play aggressive cricket. I think I go through my process while I practice. To be honest, when my team is under pressure it gets the best out of me.

USA vs Canada Live Score and Updates- Pitch Report: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, Texas

The average batting score in 12 MLC games played at the venue last year was 167, while teams batting first have won 8 out of 12 games. The pitch generally has enough for the batsmen to be expressive in their stroke play. The new ball does tend to swerve around a bit under lights as well. Approaching its second season, the average first innings scores are expected to spike as the surface hardens up. The rain in the lead-up to the games shouldn't play a role in determining the nature of the wicket as subsequent hot temperatures are poised to suck up any prevalent moisture.
