Zimbabwe was left furious after being forced to bowl in what they considered dangerous conditions against South Africa in Hobart in a match that was cut short by rain.
Pace bowler Richard Ngarava had to leave the field after slipping in his follow-through, but the umpires kept the players going and the game was farcical halted with South Africa on the brink of victory.
After a revised goal of 64 after seven overs in Group 2, the Proteas 51 were lossless after just three overs with Quinton de Kock 47 not out of 18 balls when the umpires eliminated the players.

After Ngarava’s injury, Zimbabwe chose to use only spin bowlers to protect their sailors. Sean Williams was going to throw over the fourth, but he held out his arm in protest and the umpires ended the game.
“I don’t think we should have bowled a ball,” Zimbabwe coach Dave Houghton said.
South Africa had to settle for a nil result as Twenty20 matches require at least five overs per side to produce a result. “You walk away thinking we were tough enough,” said South African coach Mark Boucher.
