Ireland’s T20 series finale in South Africa abandoned due to rain

Ireland’s final T20 international against South Africa was abandoned due to severe weather in Benoni, leaving fans frustrated as play never got underway. The match, scheduled to start at 16:00 GMT, suffered repeated delays after heavy rain and lightning forced the toss to be postponed three times. Officials eventually called off the game shortly after 17:30, with not a single ball bowled.

With the series already decided, Ireland will now shift focus to their upcoming fixtures. South Africa had secured the T20 series 2–0 after a dominant 65-run victory in the second match in Paarl on Sunday.
