As Group B in the ICC Champions Trophy nears its thrilling conclusion, South Africa and Australia lead the standings with three points each, thanks to one win and one washed-out game. Australia faces Afghanistan on Friday, where a win would confirm their semi-final spot. However, the match in Lahore may be affected by 71% rain probability, making a full 50-over game unlikely.

Australia started strong with a win over England before their clash against South Africa was abandoned due to rain. Meanwhile, Afghanistan bounced back from a 107-run loss to South Africa with a convincing win against England. If rain washes out their match against Australia, both teams will get one point each, taking Australia to 4 points and securing their semi-final place. Afghanistan, with 3 points and a Net Run Rate of -0.990, would rely on South Africa suffering a heavy defeat against England to stay in contention. However, with the Proteas having a strong Net Run Rate of +2.140, their semi-final progression seems all but certain.
