South Africa Penalised for Rare Occurrence: In Monday’s T20 World Cup Group 2 match between South and Zimbabwe, a rare event took place on the cricket field. In Zimbabwe’s innings, the incident occurred on the third ball of the ninth over.
South Africa’s Anrich Nortje bowled a back-of-a-length delivery to Shumba. The batter attempted a reverse scoop but failed in executing it. The ball went towards the fine-leg fielder, who then threw it at wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.
In an effort to throw the ball after collecting, the keeper threw one of his gloves on the surface, but the ball touched the glove, so Zimbabwe were awarded five extra runs in accordance with cricket laws. An object intentionally placed on the field of play was hit by the ball, resulting in a penalty.
It took a moment for the South African players, including de Kock and Notje, to figure out why the umpire penalized them.

As for the game itself, it was washed out without a result at Bellerive Oval, Hobart due to rain. The match had already been shortened to nine overs per side due to rain.
Zimbabwe scored 79 for 5 with Wesley Madhevere smashing 35 not out off 18 balls and Shumba scoring 18. South Africa claimed two wickets, while Wayne Parnell and Nortje claimed one each.
De Kock was unbeaten on 47 off 18 balls when rain forced the match to be abandoned after South Africa had scored 51 runs off the first three overs.
