Just a recap of the playing conditions. We begin losing overs only after an hour's play is lost. In case the match is not completed today, we have a reserve day tomorrow with play resuming from where it stops. If we have lost overs today, and then a further interruption pushes us into tomorrow, the match will continue to be a curtailed one. If over two days we don't get a result, New Zealand will go through by the virtue of having finished higher in the group stages I must repeat that my stating the playing conditions has nothing to do with the weather conditions right now. This shouldn't be a very long interruption. At any rate if the interruption is long enough to not allow South Africa bat any further, the target for New Zealand is likely to be 264 in 38 overs

Just a reminder to those complaining: all efforts, which include curtailments and DLS calculations, will be made to get a game tonight. If we can't finish it off tonight, we take it into tomorrow. Makes sense. You can't say there is a reserve day so let's not curtail the game tonight. And then what if it pours all day tomorrow?
It's been an hour already.
