Rain washes out first India-South Africa T20 in Dharamshala

The first T20 cricket match between India and South Africa in Dharamshala has been abandoned without a ball bowled due to incessant rain. The city in Himachal Pradesh has been experiencing heavy downpour since morning.  The pitch and the square at the start of the three-match series remained covered throughout, with rain lashing the sleepy hill station in the Himalayan foothills.

Officials called off the match nearly 50 minutes after the official start time of 07:00 pm The teams will now travel to Mohali for the second T20 to be played on Wednesday. South Africa, captained by wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock, are ranked third in T20s, one rung ahead of the Virat Kohli-led India.
