The fifth match of the SA20, featuring Pretoria Capitals and Durban's Super Giants in Centurion on Sunday (January 12, 2025), was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain and a wet outfield. Both captains had agreed on a 5-over per side format, with each bowler set to bowl two overs, but after Rahmanullah Gurbaz was treated by the boundary rope and one of the assistant coaches nearly went over during a fielding drill, the umpires decided to call off the match for safety reasons, given the limited window for play. The toss had been won by DSG, who chose to bowl, but after the rain stopped, it became clear that the conditions were not suitable for play. While it was an unfortunate situation for the fans who had turned out in numbers, it was good to see Gurbaz up and walking. The decision to cancel the match made sense, especially early in the tournament. Get the match highlights right here.
