9:33 PM IST and 6:03 PM Local Time: MATCH ABANDONED! Both teams will share 2 points each. The final verdict is out, and the umpires have deemed the conditions unfit for any play to take place. The covers are firmly placed on the square and heavy puddles have formed all across the turf.
It was always on the cards, and the rain gods simply have not taken a break in Durban. The players and fans will be dejected as a fine contest was on the cards after how well both teams competed a couple of nights ago.
We just had 4 overs of play today after the MI Cape Town skipper, Rashid Khan, put the Durban Super Giants into bat. Both Devon Conway and Kane Williamson showed the same kind of form they displayed in Game 1. Conway hit some eye-catching sixes off the bowling of Trent Boult. Williamson's touch of class was showered all over the bowling of Karim Janat in that brief period.
Just as the spin of George Linde was going to be introduced into the attack, the heavens opened up, and the players rushed off. The Super Giants scored 37/0 in their 4 overs. The crowd and the players waited patiently but then as the conditions did not improve, the fans started to disperse.
