Live Cricket Score - South Africa vs Zimbabwe, Super 12, T20 World Cup 2022

Game over - points shared!

That's that then from Hobart! South Africa have to share the points with Zimbabwe despite going to 51/0 in 3 overs in chase of 64 from 7. Rain has come in the way of South Africa's easy two points. Sounds familiar, no? They'll hope this doesn't happen again when their qualification is on the line but for now they have to go back having opened their account with just one point.

Oh no - part II

Quinton de Kock has taken South Africa to 51 for 0 in 3 overs - just 13 away from a win off 4 overs. But the drizzle got heavy and the umpires took the call to force the players off. This might just be very unfortunate for the South Africans as we have just six more minutes of play left to decide the result. In all likelihood, the points are about to be shared here.

Quinton de Kock in cruise mode

He's now gone after the Richard Ngarava! Four more boundaries in the second over and SA have 40 for 0 in 2 overs. 39 off those have come from QdK, one a wide and Temba Bavuma is yet to face a ball! There is still a threat of rain, hence the urgency from QdK.

Play resumes:Revised target is now 64 from 7 overs!

Oh no...

Rain is back and the players are off the field!

Quinton de Kock smashes away

What a start to South Africa's chase. Quinton de Kock has gone after Tendai Chatara hitting him for four fours and one six in a 23-run over!

Zimbabwe end on 79 for 5

What a fantastic stand between Wesley Madhevere and Milton Shumba, worth 60 runs. Madhevere fell on the last ball but not before scoring 35 off just 18 balls. Zimbabwe have never beaten South Africa in a T20I but can they believe?

Madhevere takes on Rabada

What an over for Zimbabwe. The 22-year-old hit two fours and a big six off Rabada in a 17-run over.

Zimbabwe push on

Wesley Madhevere and Milton Shumba are throwing their bats around here. They've got to 41 for 4 in 6 overs.

Four down!

A David MIller direct hit catches Sean Williams well short of his crease as he and Wesley Madhevere looked to pinch a single after nudging the ball to Miller, of all people! Zimbabwe are 19 for 4.

Sikandar Raza is gone!

This could turn ugly for Zimbabwe very quickly. Their batting talisman is gone for a second-ball duck. Zimbabwe are 12 for 3

Parnell, Ngidi strike early

The Zimbabwe openers are back in the hut already. The rain has done funny things to the pitch and the ball is zipping through.

UPDATE: Zimbabwe, South Africa to play out a 9-overs-a-side clash.

The umpires had come back, the inspection was done and the wicket was even erected but the rain has now come back.

Inspection at 8.30 Local time. The latest start for a five-over game is 10.03 Local time

Spoke too soon...

The rain is back! We're likely to start losing overs now.

Good news?

Telford says, the rain has cleared up quite nice and now the groundstaff are back in the middle to inspect. Let's hope we don't lose too many overs, if we do at all!
