Australia's run to the Champions Trophy semifinals has hit a speed bump with persistent rain washing out its second match against South Africa without a ball being bowled.

The Champions Trophy Group B fixture between Australia and South Africa in Rawalpindi was abandoned without a ball being bowled on Tuesday after persistent rain kept the players from the field. South Africa top the pool on net run-rate from Australia with both teams on three points after winning their opening fixtures against Afghanistan and England respectively.

Rain has delayed the toss in the Champions Trophy Group B game between South Africa and two-time winner Australia.
