Potchefstroom (South Africa), Feb 4 (Ians) The Momentum One-Day Cup final between the Hollywoodbets Dolphins and the Imperial Lions was abandoned on Thursday after persistent rain here -- and will now be replayed on the reserve day on Friday.
Wet weather has engulfed the region in recent weeks and had again been forecast for the final, although the forecast is better for the next 24 hours.
Multiple inspections had taken place on Thursday by umpires Allahudien Paleker and Bongani Jele before it was finally decided that the conditions were not suitable for the game to be played.

Should Friday's match also be rained out then the title will be shared by defending champions the Dolphins and the Lions.

Potchefstroom, Feb 3 (Ians) Hollywoodbets Dolphins captain Prenelan Subrayen is hoping to uphold their "winning game motto" when they take on the Imperial Lions in the 2020-21 Momentum One-Day Cup final at Senwes Park here on Thursday.
The competition, the first ever domestic cricket event to be played in a bio-secure environment (Bse), draws to a conclusion after nearly four weeks as the two best teams slog it out for 50-over title.
