Ngarava to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock wants to get this done with. Full delivery outside off and he pumps it over extra cover, couple of bounces and over the rope
Play resumed and SA batters started scoring on fast pace.

The rain was falling all this while but the umpires have decided they can't continue anymore. It is quite heavy and the two umpires - Ahsan Raza and Michael Gough - tried their best to keep the players out. But Zimbabwe were really struggling and also making it clear for the umpires it is difficult to field or bowl in these wet conditions. We have 8 minutes before the cut-off time. 23:15 Local, 17:45 IST is the latest by which play to start. Looks very unlikely
23:12 Local Time, 12:12 GMT, 17:42 IST: The rain has the final say and the game has been called off. It is not the first time South Africa have been dented by the rain in a World Cup and it might not be the last.
Zimbabwe won by 12 runs
