When: February 25, 14:00 Local, 11:00 SAT, 14:30 IST
Where: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
What to expect: Another docile pitch. And rain: a 62% chance of showers forecast for the afternoon strengthens to 71% in the evening.
Team news:
Australia
Not having Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis around didn't stop the Aussies from roaring to a rousing win over England. That should mean there's no reason to tamper with the XI.
Probable XI: Matthew Short, Travis Head, Steve Smith (capt), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson
South Africa
The elbow problem that kept Heinrich Klaasen out of the side who beat Afghanistan has not been resolved. He might have to sit out again.
Probable XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tony de Zorzi, Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi
Match Abandoned – Rain Has the Final Say!
Relentless rain has forced the match to be called off, with both teams sharing a point each. The cut-off time of 7:32 PM wasn't enough to prepare the ground for a 20-over contest. This result turns tomorrow’s England vs Afghanistan clash into a virtual knockout, with the loser becoming the third team to be eliminated. Group A is settled, but Group B just got more complicated. Fingers crossed for better weather in Lahore tomorrow!
Rain Persists – Overs Being Lost!
The drizzle continues, and overs are already being lost. The cut-off time for a 20-over contest is 7:32 PM local. However, with no signs of the rain easing, the wait continues. Stay tuned for updates!
Rain Delays Play – No Bright News Yet!
The drizzle continues, and umbrellas are up in the crowd. Puddles have formed over the covers, and while the ground looks fine, play can't resume until the rain stops. Stay tuned for further updates!
