Fourth ODI washed out

Published February 25, 2004

DUNEDIN, Feb 24: The fourth One-day International between New Zealand and South Africa was abandoned because of rain without a ball being bowled on Tuesday.

The game will now take place on the official reserve day on Wednesday. The rain began shortly before the 1400 (local time) start and did not stop until 1645.

When the umpires then inspected the pitch they decided the ground would not have sufficient time to dry enough even for a 25-overs-a-side game. New Zealand lead the six-match series 2-1.

Meanwhile, New Zealand have recalled veteran all-rounder Chris Harris for the fifth One-day International in Auckland on Saturday. -Reuters
