RAWALPINDI: (Web Desk) Due to light rain and a wet outfield, the start of the Champions Trophy Group B fixture between Australia and South Africa in Rawalpindi was delayed on Tuesday

Both sides won their tournament openers against England and Afghanistan, respectively, and are looking to put one foot in the semi-finals with another win at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The toss was due to take place at 1:30 p.m. (0830 GMT), but light drizzle meant the covers were still on at that time.

The weather forecast suggested the rain could continue for much of the day.
