Excellent all-round contributions from Udaybir Walia and Akhil Kumar helped Canada leave South Africa on a high after a battling four-wicket win in their 13th Place Play-Off against United Arab Emirates.
The North Americans were clinical with the ball, dismissing their counterparts for 174 in 44.1 overs, but then made heavy weather hunting down the target at Witrand Oval.
They slipped to 93 for six in the 25th over, before Walia (42 not out) and Harmanjeet Singh Bedi (40 not out) shared in an unbroken 86-run stand that carried them over the line with 46 deliveries to spare.
