The ongoing showers in Rawalpindi have delayed the toss of Champions Trophy 2025 match between Australia and South Africa, which was slated to take place at 1:30pm today (Tuesday).
The game is likely to be affected by rain, which will continue in intervals throughout the day, as predicted by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). According to the weather forecast, Rawalpindi is expected to experience a cloudy and cool day with intermittent afternoon showers.
There is a 64% chance of precipitation, with an estimated 0.10 inches of rainfall expected over approximately two hours.
