New Zealand's ODI series came to a damp end in Hamilton today.

Drizzle settled in midway through South Africa's innings and the covers stayed in place until the game was called off.

South Africa, who won the first two games in the series in Mt Maunganui last week, had reached 157 for three in 30.4 overs,having been sent in, before the players left the field.
Opener Quinton de Kock was on track for a sixth ODI century, on 80, with captain AB de Villiers 33 not out.

Seamer Matt Henry, in his first appearance in the series, dismissed Hashim Amla, miscuing a catch to mid wicket, and luckless Rilee Rossouw, caught and bowled for a fourth duck in six ODI innings.

Lefthander David Miller was yorked for 17 by Jimmy Neesham.

South Africa now head to Australia for a T20 series and five ODIs. New Zealand depart for the United Arab Emirates on Thursday for a test and limited-overs series against Pakistan.
