South Africa vs Zimbabwe Highlights T20 World Cup 2022 Updates: Match Ended in No Result Due to Rain

The T20 World Cup match between South Africa and Zimbabwe was called off after multiple rain interruptions, here on Monday. Electing to bat, Zimbabwe posted 79 for five after the match was reduced to nine-over-a-side. Zimbabwe lost early wickets before Wessly Madhevere (35 not out) and Milton Shumba (18) gave them a respectable total. Lungi Ngidi (2/20) picked up two wickets for South Africa. Quinton de Kock led South Africa’s chase superbly, smashing 47 off 18 balls. The Proteas were 51 for no loss in 3 overs before rain spoiled their party.

Brief Scores:

Zimbabwe: 79 for 5 in 20 overs (Wessly Madhevere 35 not out, Milton Shumba 18; Lungi Ngidi 2/20).

South Africa: 51 for no loss in 3 overs (Quinton de Kock 47 not out).

Rain has arrived and it denied South Africa a crucial win here. Quinton de Kock batted quite well to get the job done as he smashed 8 fours and a six during his 47-run* knock. But the rain is quite heavy at the moment and South Africa are robbed here as both teams shared a point each. South Africa 51/0 vs Zimbabwe 79/5, Match Ended in No Result Due to Rain

Quinton de Kock is on fire here as he is smashing almost everything coming his way. He has already scored 39 runs off just 13 balls. South Africa are looking to finish this game as early as possible as the rain is expected to play the spoilsport once again. SA 40/0 in 2 overs

Excellent recovery from Zimbabwe after losing their star players quite early. Wesley Madhevere rebuilt the innings alongside Milton Shumba. South Africa failed to capitalize as Madhevere counter-attacked him to help Zimbabwe post a challenging total. ZIM 79/5 in 9 overs

Zimbabwe are in deep trouble as Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams are also back in the hut. They will now look to score anything near 70 to give their bowlers some fighting chance. However, it is going to be a difficult task considering the South African bowling attack. ZIM 31/4 in 5 overs

Zimbabwe have already lost their openers early. Captain Craig Ervine was dismissed for just two, while Regis Chakabva failed to open his account. Zimbabwe are looking to score quick runs but South Africa have one of the best pace attacks in the world. ZIM 12/2 in 2.2 overs

The Group 2 clash has been reduced to a 9-over-a-side match.

The start of the match has been delayed due to rain in Hobart.
