Persistent downpour in Durban on Sunday afternoon led to the cancellation of the first T20I between India and South Africa.
The match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. It began with a drizzle which led to a delay in the toss which eventually did not take place.
Now, the 'Men in Blue' are left with just five T20Is – two more against the Proteas and three games against Afghanistan at home in January – ahead of next year’s showpiece in the West Indies and the USA.
Suryakumar & Co. face South Africa in Gqeberha on December 12 for the second T20I.
