South Africa overwhelmed Canada in a high-octane ICC T20 World Cup showdown at Ahmedabad, securing a decisive 57-run win. The victory was spearheaded by Lungi Ngidi's stellar four-wicket performance and Aiden Markram's aggressive half-century.

Ngidi set the tone early by dismissing Canadian skipper Dilpreet Bajwa on the very first delivery. His subsequent strikes crippled the Canadian batting line-up, leaving them struggling at 26/3 and later 45/4, as contributions from Kagiso Rabada compounded their woes.

Despite resistance in the form of Navneet Dhaliwal's 64, Canada fell short at 156/8. Earlier, Markram's dynamic innings of 59, along with supportive knocks from Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Tristan Stubbs, propelled South Africa to a formidable 213/4, eventually sealing their authoritative win.
