Zimbabwe Coach Houghton Left Fuming As Umpires Refuse To Call Off Game Much Earlier v South Africa

By IANS News October 25, 2022 • 14:25 PM View: 680

Zimbabwe coach Dave Houghton was left fuming with the umpires for not abandoning the match against South Africa much earlier than it was finally agreed upon due to the inclement weather and difficult ground conditions, saying it was "ridiculous" and not even a ball should have been bowled in those conditions.

During the chase, Zimbabwe fast bowler Richard Ngarava slipped and had to be taken off, even as the umpires kept the players on the field. Finally, the match was abandoned with South Africa on 51 without loss in three overs chasing Zimbabwe's 79/5 in the nine-overs-a-side game in a Super 12 Group 2 match of the ICC T20 World Cup here on Monday.
