The Champions Trophy Group B fixture between South Africa and Australia in Rawalpindi was abandoned without a ball being bowled in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.
The umpires came out and spoke with groundstaff at about 11:45 GMT and they called the match off at 12:15.
A handful of spectators with South African and Australian flags waited anxiously for the start of the match but had to leave without watching any action.
Both sides won their opening matches so now have three points in Group B and a win in their final game would guarantee qualification for the semi-finals.
South Africa top the pool on net run-rate from Australia with both teams on three points after winning their opening fixtures against Afghanistan and England respectively.
The latter two meet in Lahore on Wednesday, with the top two teams in each group advancing to the semifinals.
The last set of fixtures will see Afghanistan take on Australia on Friday, while South Africa will play England on Saturday.
In Group A, India and New Zealand have booked their spots in the last four after winning two of their three matches.
