in control of this match with Namibia reaching 74/2 from 15.5

And here we go again....
The rains come down, quite heavily too and the players have gone
off the field
The covers have come on and the players have left the field
Fortunately however, 25.1 overs have been bowled and this means
that this constitutes a macth even if there is no further play
Match State: Delay - Rain
Hello and welcome back, there seems to be a slight improvement in
conditions
The players are warming up in the outfield and there's a chance
that play will get under way in about 10 minutes time
the rain is now extremely heavy at the Harare Sports Club
It now looks certain that the game is all over
We have not got official word yet but that should follow shortly
Of course, if the game is called off at the cuurent position
Zimbabwe will be winners as they are well ahead
News is now coming in that Zimbabwe havew indeed won this match
By the Duckworth Lewis method Zimbabwe have won by 86 runs
Thank you so much for being with us today.
Craig Wishart's 172* provided amazing entertainment early on and it
was a pity that the rains came down and played spoilsport
