Rain ruins first T20I in Durban

Steady rain fell throughout the afternoon before the umpires decided almost two hours after the scheduled start that no play would be possible.

The second match is scheduled for Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth, on Tuesday.

All tickets for Sunday’s match – the only international fixture in Durban this season – had been sold.

India’s tour consists of three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests.
