The warm-up match between SA and a New Zealand XI was rained out without a ball bowled in Auckland on Tuesday.
Persistent rain forced the match officials to call the match off at the scheduled start time of 15.00, as the unrelenting showers continued in the area.
It won’t come as too much of a concern to the Proteas, who only finished their five-match ODI series on Friday. The same squad is being used for the one-off T20 International against the Black Caps on Friday.
The Proteas will have practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of the match at Eden Park.
The match starts at 08.00 South African time.
