Delhi Daredevils are into the Champions League Twenty20 semi-finals despite the weather ruining their clash with Nashua Titans.

The Daredevils were already assured of their last-four spot after rivals Auckland Aces lost by 16 runs in their last group league game to Perth Scorchers earlier on Tuesday.

Heavy rain prevented a single ball being bowled, meaning a second abandonment for the Daredevils and no opportunity for England's Kevin Pietersen to build on his lacklustre innings of 12 and 9 in their two other matches.

The controversial South Africa-born 32-year-old batsman would have been desperate for time at the crease before joining the England squad for a tour of India next month.

The wash-out at Centurion on Tuesday against the local team Titans means the Indian Premier League side top Group A and travel to Durban for Thursday's semi-final against another South African side Highveld Lions.
