Pretoria - The start of the fifth One Day International between South Africa and the West Indies was delayed by rain in Centurion on Wednesday.
The toss, scheduled for 13:00, did not take place on time as the covers had only just been removed.
As a result of the poor weather, there were just a handful of spectators who had made their way into the ground, more hopeful than expectant of witnessing some cricket any time soon.
South Africa led the series 3-1 going into final match, after the West Indies won the fourth encounter in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.
