Canada 173-4 (20 overs): Samra 110 (65); Duffy 1-25
New Zealand 176-2 (15.2 overs): Phillips 76* (36), Ravindra 59* (39)
New Zealand won by eight wickets.

Yuvraj Samra became the first player from an associate nation to make a T20 World Cup century, but it was not enough to prevent an eight-wicket defeat against New Zealand, who secured their place in the Super 8 phase. Samra made 110 off 65 balls in a knock that featured 11 fours and six sixes, helping Canada post 173-4.

The teenager, born in Brampton, Ontario, reached his hundred off 58 balls, eclipsing the previous top score by an associate player - 94 not out by the USA's Aaron Jones against Canada at the last World Cup.

At 19 years and 141 days, he became the youngest-ever T20 World Cup centurion, surpassing Ahmed Shehzad's record (22 years and 127 days) against Bangladesh in 2014.

Samra was eventually dismissed by Jacob Duffy, caught in the deep behind square by Glenn Phillips, and left to a standing ovation at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

"I manifested this moment ever since we qualified for the World Cup. Every single day, I dreamed about scoring a hundred on this stage," Samra said, who is named after former India batter Yuvraj Singh. "To do it here, in my first appearance [in Chennai], and as the youngest player in this World Cup – it's truly a dream come true."

Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa, who shared a 116-run stand with Samra for the first wicket, added: "Hats off to Yuvraj, he finished with a hundred in this match and it's a proud moment for him and all Canadians."

Kiwi seamers Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Jimmy Neesham, and Duffy all claimed one wicket apiece.

New Zealand had a brief wobble early in the chase when they lost openers Tim Seifert and Finn Allen in quick succession, slipping to 30-2. However, Canada's bowlers were unable to capitalize, and an unbroken 146-run stand for the third wicket between Rachin Ravindra and Phillips guided them home with 29 balls to spare.

Phillips top-scored with a brutal 76 not out off 36 balls, while Ravindra finished unbeaten with 59 off 39 deliveries. New Zealand's victory sent them through and eliminated Canada, as well as the UAE and Afghanistan.
