6:30 PM local time (10 PM IST): So that is it from this game that was to be played between Durban's Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals after Keshav Maharaj opted to bowl. However, the rain gods had some other plans, and it poured enough to make the field damp enough for the game to be called off by the officials. I, Keshav, with my co-commentator Bala, bid you a goodbye. For now, you can tune into the ILT20 game as the Sharjah Warriors are romping over the Gulf Giants while chasing.
6:26 PM local time (9:56 PM IST):The game is called off due to wet outfield and the players are shaking hands. The points will be shared between the two sides. There were hopes of game starting, however, following an inspection the umpires decided to abandon the game considering the danger a wet outfield could pose to the players.
6:11 PM local time (9:41 PM IST):A 5 overs a side game will be held beginning at 6:36 PM local time (10:16 PM IST). So, the Pretoria Capitals will walk out to bat first as called by the Super Giants captain at the toss.
5:55 PM local time (9:25 PM IST): The covers are being taken off by the groundsmen and even the stumps are put. The players are out and warming up. So, it shouldn't be long before the game begins. However, there are some doubts over the condition of the field.
Keshav Maharaj (captain, Durban's Super Giants): It's about keeping fresh because you just play and travel throughout the tournament, so yeah it's my job as a captain to keep the guys fresh. Last time around, we got close but fell just short as the players were exhausted.
5:40 PM local time (9:10 PM IST): We have some good news for you. It has stopped raining here in Centurion and the Supersopper is doing the job of clearing out the water around the covers.
5:15 PM local time (8:45 PM IST): The game should start by 6:36 PM local time (10:06 PM IST) for a shortened game of 5 overs a side as per the official statement. That means we still have around 1 hour and 20 minutes before the game is called off. However, the situation hasn’t improved, and it’s still pouring at the SuperSport Park.
While the frustrating wait continues, you can just alt+tab and follow some action from Dubai in the ILT20 League. The Gulf Giants are facing off against Sharjah Warriors under the Ring of Fire.
Durban's Super Giants' captain, Keshav Maharaj, was astonished to see one of the key signings reply. Check out what the skipper said about it.
