Rain helps australia and South Africa..!?

Australia and south africa have been lucky due to rain. The semi-final chances of those teams have become easy. The match between australia and south africa in the 2025 Champions Trophy series was canceled due to rain. Following this, both the teams were given one point each. south africa and australia currently have an advantage in the points table of the 2025 Champions Trophy series. Currently, south africa is at the top of Group B with 3 points after playing two matches and one win and one point due to rain. australia is in second place due to a low net run rate with one win and three points after playing two matches. At the same time, england and afghanistan in Group B have played only one match each and lost in it and are in third and fourth place without any points.
Currently, australia and south africa have only one match left in the group stage. Even if they win just that one match, these two teams will advance to the semi-finals. On the other hand, if the match between south africa and australia had been played in full, one of these two teams would have lost. The other team would have won and had four points. Then, even if the losing team had won another match, they would have advanced to the semi-finals only on the basis of net run rate. That could have become a problem.
But now, since it rained, the match was abandoned and south africa and australia were awarded one point each, both teams are on three points. Therefore, if south africa defeats england in the next match and australia defeats afghanistan, both teams will easily advance to the semi-finals. england and afghanistan are weak teams, so it will be an easy matter to defeat both of them. Rain has affected south africa and australia many times in the Champions Trophy so far. But for the first time, rain has given these two teams a chance to advance to the semi-finals. So, for these two teams, rain is not an enemy, but a blessing.
