No play on day one in East London



Heavy rain and a pond-like outfield forced the first day of the SuperSport Series match between the Chevrolet Warriors and the Nashua Titans to be abandoned at Buffalo Park in East London on Thursday.

There was heavy rain at the scheduled start of 10am, but the covers were still on from the day before, which forced the initial delay of the toss.

It was still raining an hour later, albeit a little slower, but most of the outfield was under water.

More rain was forecast for later on Thursday and Friday.

The Titans currently lead the competition standings, while the Warriors are second from bottom.
