South Africa vs Ireland’s third and final T20 international was abandoned without a ball being bowled after heavy rain and lightning in Benoni.
Play was due to start at 16:00 on Wednesday but, after the toss was delayed three times, the decision was made shortly after 17:30
South Africa won the three-match series 2-0 with comfortable victories by 105 runs in Cape Town and 65 runs in Paarl.
For the Proteas, maintaining this momentum is key as they gear up for bigger challenges.
With the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England on the horizon, keeping their rhythm going, regardless of the opposition, is crucial for the team’s confidence and cohesion. The ODI series begins on Saturday (10am) at Buffalo Park in East London.
