  • Match Tied (D/L method)  
           It is still raining and the cut off time for resumption or calling
            off is 10:45 local time approc 30 mins from now
           The Pollock run out may be the crusial blow and the fact that there
            was a dot last ball when play was stopped, a run there could have
            put South Africa ahead
           Rain has become heavier now
           The 'wet' crowd has decided to stay on and we will bring you the
            news as it happens
           Covers are coming off now
           Rain has strengthened and covers brought back on, only about 10
            mins left for the cut-off time
           Very close now to decision time on the match, its a min or two to
            go for an announcent on this match
           Under the playing conditions the match has been called off
           The match is declared tied
           The qualifiers in this Pool B are Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Kenya
            and South Afric have been eliminated, despondent scenes in their
            dressing room
           A rather damp end to what was turning out to be a nail-biter and
            the good news for New Zealan fans is they have got into the Super
            Sixes
           We hope you enjoyed this game wherever you are and we hope to see
            you tomorrow for the WI v Kenya game and Pakikistan v Zimbabwe
