SA vs Aus: If match is canceled due to rain, learn all qualification equations.

Delhi: The Champions Trophy match between Australia and South Africa is under threat due to continuous rains in Rawalpindi. Due to heavy rains, the toss has been delayed and 64% rain is expected. If the rain does not stop, the match may be canceled, which will make it difficult for both teams to reach the semi -finals.

What will happen if the match is canceled?

If this match is not due to rain, then both teams will get 1-1 points. This will bring 3-3 points to both Australia and South Africa. However, due to better net run rate (+2.140), South Africa will range first, while Australia will be second with +0.475 net run rate.

The semi -final race will be more interesting

If South Africa wins its next match, it will be close to making it to the semi -finals. On the other hand, Australia will have to win in their last match so that its semi -final expectations are maintained.

England and Afghanistan have not yet won any matches in this group and they have 0–0 points. But if they win both their remaining matches, then they can reach 4 points. If this happens, one of South Africa or Australia may have to be out of the semi -finals.

England are currently playing two matches against South Africa and Afghanistan. If both of them win, then the difficulties of South Africa may increase. At the same time, Afghanistan also have two matches left and if they beat England and Australia, then Australia may be out of the semi -final race.

Therefore, if today’s match is not due to rain, then their next matches will become even more important for Australia and South Africa. At the same time, England and Afghanistan will also have a chance to move forward.
