India reached 28 for two in 3.3 overs after being put into bat first when a second rain interruption forced players off the field at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Umpires called off the match after rain refused to go away for over 90 minutes and players exchanged hand shakes.

South African quick Lungi Ngidi bowled the left-handed Ishan Kishan for 15, and then got his opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad caught at mid-on for 10.
Shreyas Iyer, on nought, and skipper Rishabh Pant, on one, were batting when play stopped for the final time.
