The start of the 4th T20I between India and South Africa remains uncertain due to foggy conditions at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
The match was supposed to start in the evening but dense fog has already postponed the toss and pushed back the entire timeline. Visibility was a major issue under the spotlight.
If all goes according to plan from this point, the match could start around 9 p.m. However, this depends on a rapid improvement in the weather and light conditions on site.
According to the latest updates from the ground, the fog has not disappeared yet. The outfield remains shrouded in fog, making it difficult for players and officials.
South African players, who were earlier seen practicing in the outfield while waiting, have now returned to the dressing room. This suggests that the match officials are not expecting an immediate start.
Referees keep a close eye on the situation and regularly consult with the ground staff. Player safety and visibility remain top priorities before any decision is made.
Winter fog is common in Lucknow in December, especially during night games. Such circumstances often lead to delays or even reduced overtime if the improvement takes longer than expected.
India are currently leading the five-match T20 series 2-1, making this a key match for both teams. Any further delay could affect the flow of the match and team plans.
For now, fans will have to wait for the official confirmation of the toss and the revised starting time, with all eyes on the weather in Lucknow.
