In just 40 balls, Jones scored an undefeated 94 runs with 10 sixes.
In the opening T20 World Cup match, Aaron Jones led the USA to their highest-ever run chase and a seven-wicket victory over Canada.
At Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday, Canada set the hosts a winning aim of 195 thanks to half-centuries from Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton.
Following the early dismissals of Steven Taylor and Monank Patel, the USA's openers, Jones and Andries Gous, embarked on a power-hitting clinic.
Jones hit ten sixes on his way to an undefeated 94 off just forty balls, while Gous added 65 to help the co-hosts of the tournament get off to a flawless start.
Aaron Jones grew up playing alongside Shai Hope and Jason Holder and against Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell. He made his List-A debut for Barbados in January 2016 before representing them in first-class cricket the following year. By 2018, though, he had switched to playing for USA. Jones, who was born in Queens New York, quickly became a mainstay in the USA team. His maiden List-A century against Namibia in the WCL Division 2 in 2019 helped the USA earn the side ODI status during that competition.
