Welcome to PF
The ball exerts a force on the WALL and the wall exerts a force on the BALL.
So the forces are not acting on the same object to be cancelled.Newton's third law doesn't state that.
For every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.That does not mean the forces act on the same object.
