Proteas vs Zimbabwe T20 International in Benoni rained out, refunds can be claimed

The much-anticipated third and final T20 international clash of the series between South Africa and Zimbabwe on October 14 was abandoned without a single delivery being bowled.

Torrential rain during the night carried through into Sunday and made any thought of play impossible.

Die-hard fans of the Proteas turned up at the ground on Sunday hoping to catch a glimpse of the national team in action, but were left disappointed.

Another person who was left mightily disappointed was Willowmoore Park’s head groundsman, Brendon Frost, who had been hard at work in the build-up to the match.

Imran Tahir was named as the Man of the Series on the strength of his brilliant five-wicket haul in the opening match of the T20 series.

The Proteas won the series 2-0.

Another big downpour came and the umpires have called the match. Congratulations South Africa on their 2-0 series win. #ProteaFire #SAvZIM pic.twitter.com/lcMPVcZE9d
