Disappointment all around as rain ruins England vs South Africa finale. What would have been a competitive game between evenly matched sides ends up being a washout.

The weather woes continued for English sports fans as the third and final T20I encounter between England and South Africa was called off without a single ball being bowled. The match, slated to begin at 12:30 pm GMT was abandoned shortly after 3 pm, due to persistent rain at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania. This came after Tuesday's second T20I was also washed out, meaning both teams won one game each and the series ended in a tie.

This was not the finale that either team was hoping for, particularly after such an exciting first game, which saw England's lower order mount a comeback to win the game by four wickets in the last over. The result was a disappointment for both sides, as they had evenly matched over the past few years, with each team winning four head-to-head matches.

The onus will now be on both teams to get their preparations right for the upcoming ODI series, with the first match scheduled for February 7th at the same venue. Until then, fans will hope for better weather and better fortunes for their respective teams.
