    Delhi Capitals Pacer Lungi Ngidi Claims Match-Winning 4/31 in South Africa's Dominant World Cup Victory

    Analysis by Third Umpire·February 9, 2026

    Delhi Capitals pacer Lungi Ngidi delivered a match-winning performance for South Africa in the T20 World Cup, dismantling the Canadian batting lineup to secure a dominant 57-run victory in Ahmedabad. Ngidi finished with exceptional figures of 4/31, earning the Player of the Match award for his impactful spell that broke the back of the Canadian chase.

    Ngidi’s crucial breakthroughs included the wickets of Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa, Yuvraj Samra, Nicholas Kirton, and Harsh Thaker. His ability to strike consistently and maintain a tidy economy rate proved vital after South Africa had posted a commanding total of 213/4. This performance demonstrates the value of IPL experience on the global stage, as Ngidi showcased his mastery over line and length under pressure.

    The victory ensures South Africa maintains strong momentum in the tournament, largely thanks to Ngidi’s ability to deliver match-defining spells. This form bodes well for the Delhi Capitals management, who will be keen to see their star pacer carry this wicket-taking rhythm into the upcoming IPL season.
