Only 3.3 overs of play was possible at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore before players were taken off the field for the second time. Even with the SubAir sub-surface aeration and drainage system at the disposal, the game needed to resume by 22:02 IST for a five-over clash, which the umpires deemed was not possible due to the persistent drizzle. There was no respite from rain for a further hour and a half, and the umpires were left with no choice but to abandon the decider. The washout meant South Africa drew consecutive T20I series in India, having tied the two-match series of 2019 1-1.
