SA20 (Source: X)
The second edition of the SA20 did not have a good start. The inaugural match of the season between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Jo'Burg Super Kings ended without a result. The match did not even happen as the rain had the final say, even the toss could not happen in the middle due to the wet outfield. At no point did the match seem possible.
Right from the start of the day, there were all chances of rain. Eventually, the match saw an unfortunate ending, which was not expected by the fans. Those who were at St George's Park hoping for the match were disappointed with how things transpired. The players, umpires, and the match officials waited patiently till it had to be called off officially.Β

Fans who did not expect the match to get washed out lashed out their anger on the internet. Taking to social media, the fans criticized the poor scheduling and the administration of the league. It gets added to the list of controversies surrounding around the tournament.Β
