Takeaway :
Use DUE TO, when you can replace DUE TO with CAUSED BY
The match's postponement was DUE TO rain
Notice here, If I were replace DUE TO with CAUSED BY
The sense of the sentence remains same
The match was postponed BECAUSE OF rain
Correct usage of BECAUSE OF here gives reason , why the match was postponed
Hope that helps
