Australia Vs South Africa: Champions Trophy Match Cancelled Without A Ball Being Bowled

SA vs AUS Match Called Off Due to Rain

The ICC Champions Trophy Group B match between South Africa and Australia has been cancelled due to persistent rain. The umpires had to abandon the match without having a toss and gave a point to each of the two sides. There was early hope that the game was going to be a reduced 20-over encounter as there were reports that rain would cease. The weather didn't change, and the match was abandoned.

Group B Points Table Standings

With this result, South Africa and Australia both have three points. South Africa leads the table due to a superior net run rate. England and Afghanistan still have zero points. This washout keeps the semi-final race alive, with all four teams in the group still in contention.
