8:19 PM IST | That's it, Fans had eagerly awaited the start of the first match of the 3-match series between South Africa and West Indies at Buffalo Park, East London. However, their hopes were dashed as the match was abandoned without the toss or a ball being bowled due to heavy rain. The ground crew worked tirelessly to try and get the pitch ready for play, but the rain continued to pour down relentlessly.
Now, the focus shifts to the second ODI match scheduled for March 18th, at the same venue and fans are crossing their fingers that the rain stays away.
