Persistent rain in Rawalpindi led to the cancellation of the Champions Trophy clash between Australia and South Africa.
The crucial Group B fixture faced repeated delays due to light rain. The toss was initially scheduled for 1:30 PM, with the match set to begin at 2:00 PM, but the weather conditions prevented any play from taking place.
As a result, both teams received one point each. Match officials confirmed that the wet outfield made it impossible for the game to proceed.
Following this outcome, Australia and South Africa now have three points each, occupying the top two spots in Group B.
The ongoing rain in Rawalpindi has raised concerns over the tournament schedule, with fears of further disruptions. Additionally, Pakistan’s scheduled practice session for the evening was also called off due to the wet conditions.
