Australia vs South Africa Champions Trophy 2025, Live Updates: Toss for Australia’s Champions Trophy match against South Africa has been delayed due to rain at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. If the match does take place, it won’t be a full-fledged match as the overs have started to reduce. In an official statement, it was revealed that the match will start losing overs after 3 PM local time (3:30 PM IST). The pitch is currently under covers. The Steve Smith-led side will be coming to this match after registering a historic victory over England in the opener. On the other hand, the Proteas defeated Afghanistan by 107. Australia are bound to miss the pace trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in the tournament but at least in the opener, the audacious batting display compensated for their absence.
