USA captain Monank Patel: "We've been playing well and we are confident chasing, we've also played a bit on this surface already. So we want to have that clarity, and once we have a target it's easier.

Now the US have a crack at the big boys. Pakistan are in Dallas, and the performances they put in against England last week showed they might be prime candidates for an upset.

Aaron Jones took that to heart. His 10 sixes carried hosts United States to an opening night victory over Canada at the T20 World Cup in Texas.

They say everything is bigger in Texas.
