Well that's all from the 1st T20I folks! Join us back tomorrow as the cricketing action from around the world continues! 

This is Anirudh Modi, signing off along with my co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee, and our scorer/analyst Dushyant Kumar! See you on the next one! 
Player of the Match: Nosthush Kenjige. 
11:35 PM IST, 1:05 PM Local Time | USA complete a dominant victory over their Canadian neighbors to take a 1-0 lead in the T20I series! USA defeat Canada by 6 wickets!

USA won the toss and elected to bowl first, and the decision proved to be a good one as the bowling unit bowled with accuracy and discipline to restrict Canada to a total of 132 all-out in the first innings to be in cruise control of this match! 

Kenjige was the star with the ball for USA with the figures of 3/21 from 4 overs. 

Come the chase, the USA openers gave their team a perfect start as the openers put together a 47 run-stand to assure their path to victory. Even though, Canada kept picking up wickets to peg them back, the USA batters were too strong in their pursuit of victory today. 

Both Monank Patel and Andries Gous scored twin half-centuries to ensure their team took home the W! Keyliger tried his best in the second innings with the figures of 2/29 from his 3.3 overs but USA were too strong to overcome today. 

Canada will go back to the drawing board to re-strategize their approach for the remainder of this series. While USA, take home the victory and early advantage in this series!
