Due to rain and bad weather, the inaugural SA20 final between Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape, which was originally slated to be contested at the Wanderers on February 11, has been moved to February 12. On the reserve day, the game will start at 13:30 local time. Johannesburg has experienced consistent rain for the past four days, but Sunday’s prediction looks more promising.
Due to the pitch being covered for three days and the additional 200 mm of rain that has fallen since this week’s Wednesday, the preparation of the field for the game has been affected. More showers are expected for the rest of Saturday, according to the SA Weather Service, with a better sky expected for Sunday, according to an SA20 press release.
The league’s commissioner, Graeme Smith, added: “Postponing the match is the best decision to allow for the chance of a full match in drier circumstances.” We have consulted the match officials, teams, groundsmen, stakeholders, and the SA Weather Service. We want the Final to be memorable for both the teams and the audience.
