South Africa will be disappointed as they shared points with Zimbabwe in their opening T20 World Cup 2022 fixture. Rain played spoilsport during the game as the match was trimmed a couple of times before being eventually called off. The Proteas needed 13 runs off 24 deliveries to win with all ten wickets intact.
Not Good Friends
South Africa, rain, ICC tournaments are never good friends.

An Alternate Solution
Unlucky South Africa @ProteasMenCSA , deserved the points as well as the NRR, but persistent rain messes it up for them.
Methinks @ICC must have a rethink on how these things are decided — I mean why not a reserve day in the event of rain?@T20WorldCup #SAvZIM #T20WorldCup

Unlucky
South Africa is the unluckiest team when it comes to nature and world cups... it's not the first time that they didn't get to finish the sure shot win in the mega event because of the rain. Got to feel for them.
