PRETORIA (Reuters) - The third Twenty20 International between South Africa and India was halted early in the home side’s reply after a wave of flying ants descended on Centurion Park in Pretoria on Wednesday and forced the players from the field.

IND vs SA: The third T20I match between India and South Africa was halted after just one over being bowled in the second innings by India. The reason was not adverse weather conditions. Instead the IND vs SA match had been halted because there was a sudden swarm of flying ants which engulfed the Centurion Stadium on Wednesday.

The third T20I between India and South Africa was temporarily halted due to thousands of flying ants descending on the stadium. Players were asked to stop by the umpires after the first over of the second innings, with the ants making it impossible to carry on.
