In an unfortunate turn of events at the Champions Trophy, the highly anticipated Group B clash between Australia and South Africa was called off due to persistent rain in Rawalpindi.

Both teams remain at the top of their pool, having secured three points each from earlier victories over Afghanistan and England. The interruption leaves the prospects wide open for the subsequent matches.

Continuous rain throughout the day saturated the field, leaving pools of water and rendering play impossible, leading officials to abandon the match shortly after noon GMT.
