The Champions Trophy 2025 match between Australia and South Africa in Rawalpindi has been delayed due to Rawalpindi Weather. The toss could not take place as scheduled leaving players and fans waiting for updates.
Rain interruptions have often affected Australia vs South Africa matches in ICC events. Weather related delays have led to dramatic moments and controversies in the past. Both teams started their campaigns with strong performances. South Africa defeated Afghanistan while Australia chased down 351 runs setting a record for the highest successful run chase in ICC event history.
Weather forecasts indicate continued rain throughout the day. Weather predicted a 50% chance of rain at the scheduled start time causing the delay. Meteorologists expect the probability to drop slightly to 49% and 46% over the next few hours. However, meteorologists expect rain chances to rise again to 75% from 6 PM local time increasing the likelihood of further disruptions.
The situation remains uncertain frustrating both teams and fans. Organizers hope for a break in the weather to allow some play before conditions worsen.
Rawalpindi weather has prevented the match from starting so far. That is why officials have not announced the playing XI from both sides yet.
