Rain has halted play in the one-day clash between South Australia and Western Australia at the WACA Ground, with the Redbacks in need of a reset after some early wobbles.

The Redbacks were struggling at 3-58 after 11.3 overs of Monday’s match before a heavy downpour forced players off the field.

Jake Weatherald (19no) and Harry Nielsen (four not out) were at the crease when play was halted.
