The SA20 final has been postponed 24 hours following heavy rainfall in Johannesburg.

Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape were due to meet at the Wanderers on Saturday (February 11), but a waterlogged outfield and miserable forecast have combined to force organisers' hands.

While heavy rain is expected throughout the rest of Saturday, conditions are due to improve overnight and into Sunday.

And as a result, an early call has been made to move the match to its reserve day.

SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith said: "We've engaged the match officials, teams, groundsman, stakeholders and the SA Weather Service, and postponing the match is the best decision to allow for the possibility of a full match in drier conditions.

"We want to give the teams and spectators a memorable final."
