Medhevere showed his class by taking on Kagiso Rabada for 17 runs including 2 fours and 1 six.

Chasing 80 runs to win, de Kock began the innings with positive intent smashing 23 runs off Tendai Chatara in the first over including 4 fours and 1 six. De Kock continued his aggressive intent not allowing the Zimbabwe bowlers to settle. With the scoreboard reading 24 for 0, rain arrived again.

After the rain break, the target was revised to 64 off 7 overs. De Kock continued his assault on Zimbabwe bowlers. The explosive left-handed opener was given not out but on review, the decision was retained due to the umpires call. With the scoreboard reading 51 for 0 in 3 overs, rain arrived again and the match ended with no result.

Zimbabwe 79 for 5 in 9 overs ( Wesley Medhevere 35*, Ngidi 2/20) and 51 for 0 in 3 overs ( de Kock 47*) no result
