Rain Washes Out Capitals vs. Super Giants Match
4 Jan
Summary
- Pretoria Capitals and Durban's Super Giants match abandoned without play.
- Persistent rain forced a second match abandonment of the day.
- Both teams awarded two points following the abandonment.
In a frustrating turn of events, the cricket match between the Pretoria Capitals and Durban's Super Giants, scheduled for Saturday in Centurion, was abandoned due to persistent rain. This marks the second abandonment of the day, disappointing a capacity crowd who had hoped for play.
Despite a brief period of optimism when the captains met for the toss, rain returned almost immediately, forcing officials to call off the game permanently. The match was reduced to 16 overs per side, but even this was not enough to overcome the adverse weather conditions.
As a consequence of the abandonment, both the Pretoria Capitals and Durban's Super Giants were awarded two points each. This ensures they retain their current league positions. The Capitals are set to play Sunrisers Eastern Cape on January 5, while the Super Giants face the Capitals again on January 7.
