Saturday's third T20I meeting between South Africa and Pakistan in Johannesburg was rained off without a ball being bowled, ensuring the Proteas finished the series as 2-0 victors.

The match was initially delayed following lightning strikes in the area, before constant rain set in at the Wanderers Stadium.

Following a brief break in the rain, an official inspection was announced, and hopes were high of play being able to finally start.

However, the swift return of wet weather meant that two hours after the game was due to start, it was finally called off.

The decision means South Africa win the three-match T20I series 2-0, after triumphing in the first game by 11 runs and in the second by seven wickets.

The teams now head to Paarl - over 1,300km south-west of Johannesburg - for the first of three ODIs between the sides. That is followed by games in Cape Town and Johannesburg, before two Test matches in Centurion and Cape Town.
