South Africa edge England in rain-marred opener in Cardiff, go 1-0 up in T20I series

A game of a total of 12.5 overs, with England being tasked to chase down 69 off five of them in wet conditions at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, just felt a bit bizarre, given multiple inspections were held to sneak in a few overs somehow to get the game. England eventually fell short by 14 runs but what else could they have done, given they had to go after the bowling from the word go, requiring 14 runs per over. Phil Salt's dismissal off the first ball of the innings, when he creamed it straight to the deep square leg fielder, pretty much summed up the contest.
