Surat: The third women's Twenty20 International between India and South Africa was abandoned on Sunday, without a ball being bowled due to heavy downpour here.
Persistent rain meant even the toss could not take place. The game was supposed to start at 7 pm local time but after inspecting the conditions at 7:30 pm, the umpires decided to call off the game.
This is the second consecutive match in the series which has been washed out. The second T20 was also abandoned due to rain on Thursday.
India lead the five-match series 1-0.
Not the kind of news we would have wanted to hear. But the 3rd T20I between India & SA has been called off. We will see you next time for the 4th T20I #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/5T7ZXuzKCu

The fourth T20 is scheduled here on Tuesday.
