New Delhi: The fifth and final T20I between India and South Africa played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru was washed out due to rain. As a result, the five-match series ended in a 2-2 draw. During the match on Sunday, only 3.3 overs could be bowled after Proteas won the toss and invited India to bat first. At the time when the match was forced to be abandoned, India had scored 28 runs for the loss of two wickets.
Meanwhile, fans who bought tickets for the high-octane clash were not just disappointed with the rain forcing the play to stop but also with the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) and BCCI for poor maintenance of one of India's most iconic cricket stadiums, the Chinnaswamy cricket stadium in Bangalore.
Rainwater started dripping from the roof of Chinnaswamy Stadium when it started raining during Ind-SA T20I match. A fan took to Twitter to share a video of water dripping from the roof of Chinnaswamy stadium and even tagged BCCI, Jay Shah, and Sourav Ganguly. Things got much worse and disappointing when the leaking roof made it impossible for spectators to even sit in their seats.
Taking note of the video, some furious fans expressed their anger on social media as they questioned the KSCA and BCCI for such negligence.
Talking about India vs South Africa 5th T20 International, KSCA announced a 50% refund for fans who purchased tickets as the series decider got abandoned due to rain.
