HOBART: Denied by persistent showers, South Africa coach Mark Boucher suggested his team was better off with a no-result in the first round of the T20 World Cup instead of being knocked out by rain in the knock-outs again.
Set a target of 80 in nine overs by Zimbabwe, which was revised to 64 in seven overs after a brief rain interruption in their opening T20 World Cup match, South Africa were cruising at 51 for no loss in three overs, with opener Quinton de Kock going strong at an 18-ball unbeaten 47.
