Though England had a better net run-rate, their one loss in the group stage did cost the semi-final.
South Africa and Australia will take on each other in the second semi-final at 7 pm local time.
If the second match of the day also gets washed out due to rain, South Africa will go to the final.
The final of the tournament will be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on Sunday.
