Prepend to the Content

Rain has once again caused trouble in an ICC tournament, this time in the Champions Trophy 2025. Australia and South Africa, both coming off wins, were set to face each other in a crucial Group B match at Rawalpindi. However, the weather is not looking promising, and there are concerns about whether the game will start on time.

Australia will be full of confidence after their record chase of 352 runs against England. Despite missing their first-choice fast bowlers, they proved their batting strength. South Africa, on the other hand, also started strong with a win over Afghanistan. Even without Heinrich Klaasen, they looked solid. This match was expected to be a thrilling contest, but the rain has become a major hurdle.

According to Accuweather, there is a high chance of rain throughout the day in Rawalpindi. The probability of rainfall at the scheduled start time is around 50%, which means the toss and match are likely to be delayed. Over the next few hours, the rain chances drop slightly but remain between 46% and 49%. However, by 6 PM local time, the probability increases again to 75%, making it difficult to predict if a full game will be possible.

Even if the rain stops, the umpires and ground staff will need time to ensure the pitch and outfield are safe for play. The conditions are expected to be frustrating, with multiple rain interruptions likely throughout the day. Players and fans will have to wait and hope for a window of dry weather to allow the match to proceed.

For now, all eyes are on the sky as everyone waits for an update on when or if the match can begin.
