SA20 Season 3: Pretoria Capitals vs Durban’s Super Giants Abandoned Due to Rain
The highly anticipated match between the Pretoria Capitals and Durban’s Super Giants in the SA20 Season 3 at Centurion was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain. After Super Giants captain Keshav Maharaj won the toss and opted to field first, hopes were high for an exciting contest. However, steady rainfall caused significant delays, and despite repeated inspections, conditions remained unplayable.
Eventually, match officials deemed the weather unsuitable for play, resulting in a no-result declaration. Both teams were awarded two points each, and ticket holders will be eligible for refunds in accordance with the league’s policy, which ensures compensation if fewer than seven overs are played.
Captains’ Insights Before the Rain
Prior to the rain, both captains shared their strategies at the toss. Maharaj expressed confidence in his decision to bowl first, citing the overcast conditions as a potential advantage. “Hopefully we can use the overhead conditions with the ball, bit of rain around,” he stated. Meanwhile, Pretoria Capitals skipper Rilee Rossouw reflected on his team’s recent performance and looked ahead with optimism, commenting, “We should have won the last game but that’s past, and hopefully we can win today.”
Looking Ahead
This frustrating result means both teams will need to regroup as the league progresses. With rain once again proving to be an uncontrollable variable, fans are left hopeful for clearer skies in the upcoming fixtures.
