Yes I am also worried about the remaining 4 days because there can be the rain again.
By the way South Africa has played 15 overs and I am surprised when I saw that Aiden Markram got out on 9 runs. Well Tony de Zorzi is fulfilling his spot and he was playing little well and he made 32 runs and in which he hit 4 boundaries 2 sixes and 2 fours. If he will have the chayto play today so I hope he will play more well today.
Tony de Zorzi got a good start. Let's see how he will convert it to a century. South African selectors would be happy as well. De Zorzi represents a limited pool of colored batsmen available for selection, along with Bavuma, Keegan Petersen and Reeza Hendricks. For meeting the transformation targets, it is essential for CSA to find more quality colored batsmen. The experiment with Bavuma has failed, as he doesn't have the ability to score runs against quality opponents in the longer version of the game.

The match was delayed due to rain. The South African team got the opportunity to bat only 15 overs on the first day. South Africa collected 45 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 15 overs. Experienced batsmen like Aiden Markram were expected to see big innings. But Aiden Markram's innings stopped at just 9 runs.
Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs will start tomorrow. There is no doubt that these two are very talented batsmen. But it is not easy to collect big on this pitch. Although you can bat well on this pitch in the first two innings, it is very difficult to bat well in the last two innings. The average score of this pitch in the first innings is 303 runs and the average score of the second innings is 313 runs. So if the South African team wants to win, then they must bat well in the first innings.
