Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Ashish Pant

11.30pm That's that! Thanks for joining us today. We will be back tomorrow, where Australia take on Sri Lanka in Perth. Till then, on behalf of PDP and Chandan, this is me Ashish signing off.

11.15pm Both teams take a point each! Well, that sums up cricket, doesn't it. To be fair to the umpires, they did try to stretch the game for as long as possible. In the end, rain came down hard enough. You could understand the frustration of the Zimbabwe players too. They saw Richard Ngarava limp off gingerly, Muzarabani and Jongwe did not bowl, and eventually it was Sean Williams, who I believe said 'this is a World Cup', that prompted the umpires to say - yep that's enough. Quinton de Kock,on his part, tried his best to chase down the target. He carted 23 runs off the first over, 17 off the second to finish with 47* off 18. In the end, it didn't matter.

George: "The problem is not just the point lost, but the RR missed. South Africa would have had a very big RR. If it comes to RR to decide who goes through, it would be very cruel."

Dishari: "As much as this hurt to see the covers coming on again with South Africa seconds away from a victory, but Zimbabwe have not been able to bowl Muzarabani and Jongwe in these slippery wet conditions. They already lost Ngarava bowling in the rainy condition. Hope it is not too serious to miss the rest of the world cup. Either way seems unfair for the teams - cricket should be played indoors?" Agree

Called off! Rain and South Africa - a story for the ages. Rain wins again.

The rain has come down hard and the umpires are calling on for the covers. Is rain going to rob South Africa at a World Cup again? The cut-off time is in eight minutes. South Africa are ahead as far as the five-over DLS target is concerned. So, essentially, if the rain relents, they just need to come out, not even face a ball; just get the ground ready and get ready to bowl; doesn't matter if it rains after that

Dru: "After winning the toss Zim should have bowled. When there is rain around chasing is much easier. A big opportunity missed."

END OF OVER:
3 | 11 Runs | SA: 51/0 (13 runs required from 24 balls, RR: 17.00, RRR: 3.25)

Sikandar Raza to de Kock, (no ball) 2 runs, short and wide, he cuts it hard to deep point. They get a couple of runs. Seems like Raza had over-stepped.

Sikandar Raza to de Kock, no run, Loud, loud appeal for lbw and the umpire shakes his head. Surely, they will go up for various reasons. Ooh, that actually looks very close. Flatter on middle stump, he shuffles across looking to launch the sweep. Does not connect and is hit right in front. The umpire's call goes in his favour, with the ball clipping leg stump. What's amazing is that de Kock was walking off after seeing the first replay and then came back.
