Synopsis
Aus vs SA Live Score: The match has been abandoned due to rain.
Aus vs SA Live Score: Australia and South Africa face off in a high-stakes Champions Trophy clash in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, with both teams eyeing a spot in the semifinals. Recent matches have shown a trend of high-scoring games—South Africa posted 315/6 to defeat Afghanistan, while Australia chased down England’s 351/5 with ease.
Both teams boast powerful batting line-ups but have struggled with injuries in their bowling attacks, making another run-fest likely. Given their history—most notably their record-breaking 872-run ODI in 2006—400+ totals aren’t out of the question. A win would all but secure a semifinal berth, while a loss would put immense pressure on the final group game. If rain stays away, expect fireworks at the crease.
When: February 25, 14:00 Local, 11:00 SAT, 14:30 IST
Where: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
South Africa Probable Playing 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
Australia Probable Playing 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
