SC Ganguly 8* (19b 1x4) M Kaif 0* (4b)

Allan Dawson comes into the attack now
The bails are now being blown off by the strong wind, so a slight
delay in the play, even as the covers are readied on the boundary
And now the umpire's hat gambols around the outfield! Never heard
of wind stopping play, but there's a first time for everything
The advantage with the wind, of course, is that it will blow the
ominous-looking rainclouds right away from the stadium.

AC Dawson 3-1-3-0 - Pavilion End
Yuvraj Singh 2* (9b) SC Ganguly 11* (36b 1x4)

17.1 Ntini to Yuvraj Singh, legbye: one run, and even as Yuvraj tries to
work this to leg, the rain starts to come down, the covers are
being dragged on, and the players take evasive action

Match State: Delay - Rain

Still raining in Dhaka, the covers are still as firmly on, and the
cricket is just as decisively stopped, if at least for the moment.
The rains have stopped now, and the covers are off the pitch, and
there will be another inspection of the pitch and outfield by the
umpires soon.
Conditions apparently have not improved enough for play to be

resumed today, and the umpires have seen it fit to abandon this
match just 17.1 overs in.
South Africa and India hence are joint winners of this TVS Cup,
India's second such result in their last three multi-nation
tournaments. They were also joint winners with Sri Lanka of the
ICC Champions Trophy.
Allan Dawson, for his 11 wickets in this series at 13.63 apiece,
has been named Man of the Series.

An unfortunate way for this tournament to end, perhaps, but stay

as well as plenty of other live cricket.
