England‘s T20 decider towards South Africa proved a humid squib after unrelenting rain meant a washout at Trent Bridge.
Phil Salt’s unbeaten 141 – wherein he recorded the quickest and highest T20 century by an Englishman – helped the hosts to a record-breaking 146-run win at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday to stage the three-match collection at 1-1.
South Africa received a rain-affected collection opener at Cardiff on Wednesday however there was no prospect of a winner-takes-all showdown in Nottingham, the place gentle rain began to fall shortly earlier than the 2pm toss.
Whereas captains Harry Brook and Aiden Markram emerged of their kits at 2:10pm, a toss was aborted because the bathe grew heavier, and with no let-up the umpires determined to formally abandon the match at 4.20pm.
