‘Test Cricket ke bhagwan ne yeh kaam kiya hai’ – Fans react as opening game of SA20 between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings abandoned due to rain

Defending champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape were supposed to play Joburg Super Kings at their home ground i,e. St. George’s Park, Gqeberha. Last season, the Super Kings won twice against the Sunrisers but the Orange Army, SEC won against JSK in the second semifinal of the 2023 season. Meanwhile, the opening game of the second season between both teams has been abandoned due to rain.

It was raining so relentlessly that even the toss didn’t take place. Despite this, the fans of both teams waited patiently before the official announcement was made. Meanwhile, in the second T20I played between India and South Africa last month, the game was impacted by rain. However, both teams played enough to separate the winner and loser of the game. In this game, not even a single ball was bowled
