What Happens If Australia vs Afghanistan Champions Trophy Match Gets Washed Out?
The fate of ICC Champions Trophy Group B could be decided if rain plays spoilsport in the Australia vs Afghanistan match on Friday.
Three teams still remain in the hunt as the Group B in the ICC Champions Trophy nears an enthralling conclusion. South Africa and Australia top the charts with three points each to their name - courtesy of one win and one washed out contest each. On Friday, as second-placed Australia take on third-placed Afghanistan, nothing less than a win would guarantee their Champions Trophy semi-finals progression. But, the battle is not only expected to be resolved using bat and ball, with the weather conditions in Lahore also expected to play a significant role.
the Aussies launched their tournament campaign with a theatrical win over England before their huge showdown with South Africa was abandoned due to the rain. The form has been mixed for the Afghans but they will enter their match with Australia filled with confidence after getting the better of England on Wednesday. This win came after a heavy 107-run loss to South Africa in their opening tournament fixture.
