Ahmedabad, Feb. 9 -- Lungi Ngidi's four-wicket haul and skipper Aiden Markram half century helped South Africa defeat Canada by 57 runs in the ICC T20 World Cup clash at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday.

Chasing a mammoth target of 214 runs, Ngidi removed Canadian skipper Dilpreet Bajwa on the very first ball.

In the third over, Lungi Ngidi struck twice, removing Yuvraj Samra's bat, with Quinton de Kock safely completing the job and Nicholas Kirton to leave Canada reeling at 26/3.

Shreyas Movva and Navneet Dhaliwal hit a couple of boundaries before Kagiso Rabada knicked an edge off Movva to leave Canada reeling at 45/4 within the powerplay.

Harsh Thaker joined Dhaliwal at the crease, and the duo took the score past 100 run...
