The third and final Twenty20 international between India and South Africa has been abandoned due to heavy rain.

Torrential conditions in Kolkata forced the series to be cut short without a ball being bowled in the concluding match.

South Africa had already secured a series victory thanks to their previous six and seven-wicket wins, meaning that they were denied the chance of a clean sweep.

Monday's match had to be halted after home supporters launched bottles onto the field, but the Proteas quickly recovered to claim a straightforward triumph.

The two sides will now meet in five one-day internationals, starting in Kanpur on Sunday.
