Champions Trophy: Rain affects South Africa v West Indies match Rain has delayed the start of South Africa's Champions Trophy Group B match against the West Indies in Cardiff. The covers remain on the pitch at Sophia Gardens after the Welsh capital was hit by heavy showers overnight. No time has been set for a pitch inspection, although the conditions are slowly improving. A no-result would mean South Africa, who lost to India and beat Pakistan, would qualify for the semi-finals ahead of the West Indies on net run-rate. The West Indies opened with a two-wicket win over Pakistan before losing by eight wickets to India.
