Delray Rawlins and his Sussex Sharks teammates as well as Surrey remain unbeaten in the Vitality Blast after tonight’s keenly-anticipated South Group showdown at the Kia Oval was abandoned because of rain.
After the start was delayed for 20 minutes, Surrey reached 53 for two from five overs having been put in before rain forced the players off again.
There was no improvement in conditions, to the disappointment of a crowd of around 4,000 who had come to see the top two in action, and umpires Russell Warren and Ben Debenham called the game off at 8.10pm, both sides taking one point.
