Champions Trophy: Rain does not lead to a result in Rawalpindi like Australia, South Africa, shares points

The match of the Champions Trophy between Australia and South Africa was abandoned here on Tuesday, due to persistent rain, forcing the two B -group weights to share each point.

The weather did not allow the completion of the completion. Given that the conditions do not improve, the match officials stopped the game a little more than three hours after the scheduled time.

The cutting time for the game was from 19:32, but the officials made the call much earlier, without improving the time in sight.

According to no result, South Africa and Australia have divided a point and means that the competition on Wednesday between England and Afghanistan has transformed into a virtual elimination, with the loss becoming the third team eliminated from the ICC event.

The hosts of the Pakistan and Bangladesh tournament were eliminated by the event on Monday, after suffering two successive defeats.

Both Australia and South Africa have won the opening match against England and Afghanistan respectively.

Interestingly, it was the fourth abandoned game in Australia in the last eight exits in the champions trophy. The next play Afghanistan in Lahore on February 28, while Proteas faces England in Karachi the next day.

The semifinalists have already been decided in Group A, with India and New Zealand progressing after two victories in as many games.

The rain is provided in Rawalpindi, as well as Lahore and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will hope that it will not play spoilsport in the coming days.

Pakistan houses an ICC event for the first time in 29 years. With the host nation already outside the semifinal race, PCB is already facing a challenge in maintaining local fans interested in tournament.
