South Africa's Lungi ngidi drops a catch during the ICC men's Twenty20 World Cup 2022 cricket match between South Africa and Zimbabwe.
South African fast bowler Lungi Ngidi fears "bad luck is following us" at the Twenty20 World Cup with more rain forecast for their clash against Bangladesh on Thursday in Sydney.
South Africa have been touted as outsiders for the title but their opening match on Monday against Zimbabwe in Hobart was washed out. The Proteas had been on course for victory but were forced to settle for one point. They are eager to get their tournament up and running against Bangladesh, but bad weather is forecast for Sydney.
The 26-year-old Ngidi, part of a fearsome South African pace attack, said of the abandoned opener against Zimbabwe: "It does put us under a bit of pressure, it would have been nice to get a win.
"Tomorrow another forecast of rain -- I think we've just got a bit of bad luck following us.
