(Reuters) – The first Twenty20 International between hosts South Africa and India has been washed out by rain in Durban, with no play possible yesterday in the first game of the three-match series.
The match was scheduled to start at 1400 GMT, but the toss was delayed indefinitely, and the umpires eventually decided there was no prospect of play in the sodden coastal city.
The match was to be the first on India’s all-format tour to South Africa, with further T20 matches to come in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) tomorrow and Johannesburg on Thursday.
They will then switch formats for three one-day internationals between December 17 and 21, while the first test will start on December 26 in Pretoria and the second on January 3 at Newlands in Cape Town.
