USA recently went up against Canada as part of their preparation for T20 World Cup 2024. They dominated Canada and won the five-T20I series 4-0. They could not complete a whitewash against Canada as the third T20I was abandoned due to wet outfield.

Former New Zealand all-rounder played two T20Is for USA. In the final game of the T20I series, he contributed with a match-winning 48-ball 55 in the run chase.
