The match between South Africa and Zimbabwe in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 was cancelled due to rain. In this way, both teams got one point each. Zimbabwe had given South Africa a target of 80 runs in modified 9 overs, which was later reduced to 64 runs in 7 overs. South Africa had scored 51 runs without loss of any wicket but rain proved to be their enemy once again. The match had to be cancelled due to frequent rain.

Let us inform you that Quinton de Kock was playing an unbeaten 47 off 18 balls. Three decades ago, in the 1992 ODI World Cup semi-final, South Africa had to face the havoc of rain. At that time, the team had only returned to international cricket. Earlier, Zimbabwe scored 79 for five in nine overs in a rain-hit match with the help of 35 off 18 balls by all-rounder Wesley Madhevere. Wesley was dropped at 11 runs which he has also taken full advantage of.

At one point Zimbabwe's score was 19 for 4 in the fourth over. The match started two hours late due to rain. Because of this, the match was reduced to nine overs per team with 3 overs of powerplay. Zimbabwe captain Craig Irwin won the toss and made a surprise decision to bat as the match was likely to be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method due to rain. Irwin's decision proved to be wrong as his top four batsmen failed to contribute. Let us inform you that for South Africa, Lungi Ngidi took two wickets for 20 runs. He dismissed Regis Chakabwa (8) and Sikandar Raza (0).
