The probability of precipitation hovers between 60-70% till 5 PM local when it comes down to just under 50. Rain is expected to return around 10 PM.
Overall the chances of a full match look extremely bleak and we can see a reduction in overs if the match starts in first place.

The Australia vs South Africa match was washed out in Rawalpindi earlier this week.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium pitch report
The only completed game at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the Champions Trophy 2025 was a low-scoring affair as Bangladesh scored just 236/9 batting first against New Zealand who won the match by five wickets. The pitch, however, didn’t seem to have much on offer for bowlers and we can expect totals of around 300 if Pakistan or Bangladesh batters make full use of the conditions.
