Overview

• The third T20I between India and South Africa was interrupted early in South Africa's innings by a swarm of flying ants.
• Umpires decided to stop the game after just one over of South Africa's chase due to the insect invasion.
• The delay lasted approximately 19 minutes as ground staff used vacuum cleaners to clear the ants from the field.
• India had set a formidable target of 220 runs, with Tilak Varma scoring an unbeaten 107 off 56 balls.
• This is not the first time insects have disrupted a cricket match in South Africa, with bees causing a similar incident in 2017.
