If rain washes out the game between South Africa and England, the Temba Bavuma-led side will reach to four points, equal to that of Australia. South Africa's better net run rate (NRR), +2.140, will see them finish at the top spot in that case. Australia's NRR is +0.475. Notably, in case of no result for a game, a team's NRR remains unaffected.

Australian opener Matthew Short will likely miss the Champions Trophy semifinal against either India or New Zealand
