The South African team had checked in to the hotel in Lucknow ahead of the second ODI which was scheduled to be played there.
England are scheduled to play four Test matches against the Proteas, the first of which will begin from December 26 at the Centurion.
This is only the second time in South African cricket history that they have failed to make it to the Knock-out stage.
South Africa is virtually out of the semi-finals race in the wake of losing to New Zealand at Edgbaston, Birmingham as Kane Williamson snatched victory from the Africans. However, Pakistan may still manage to sneak into the knock-out rounds if they win their remaining matches and results of other matches also go in their favour.
The pacer feels that winning games is all about execution and that is what has hurt both the teams as far as he is concerned. He feels that the team which handles pressure better will win.
With a little drizzle expected as per the weather forecasts, the seam bowlers and the Duckworth Lewis Stern method may impact the result of the match and the captain's call at the toss.
Both the teams will get one point each from the match. Courtesy a washout, South Africa now have one point in four matches while West Indies have three points in three matches.
A hint of brilliance from any of the South African players may spark the much-needed motivation and lift the morale of the side to get together as a unit and fight strong in a tough World Cup campaign ahead of them
Having lost their first wicket for just 11 runs, South Africa were at one stage reeling at 7-158 but then stitched a little come back as Kagiso Rabada and Chris Morris put together 66 runs for the eight wicket
Knocked out by England in the World Cup opener, the Proteas were left 21 runs short even against the Bangladesh side after their plan to attack the Bangladesh batting with an extra pacer had miserably backfired.
