Abandoned South Africa vs Pakistan
The third T20I between South Africa and Pakistan in Johannesburg was washed out by persistent rain without any impact. The match was initially delayed by a lightning strike in the area, before a steady drizzle began. The drainage at Wanderers is exemplary and the field staff remained prepared. When the rain briefly eased, an official inspection was announced and ground crews sprang into action. But before it could happen, the rain returned once again.
Two hours after the official start of the match, it was finally suspended and Heinrich Klaasen and Mohammad Rizwan shook hands next to the bench. It means South Africa seal the three-match T20I series 2-0, having triumphed in the first game by 11 runs and the second by seven wickets.
The series now moves to Paarl where the first of three ODIs between the sides will take place. It will be followed by a match in Cape Town and the Pink ODI back in Johannesburg, before two Test matches in Centurion and Cape Town.
