Fourth T20 match between India and South Africa canceled

Lucknow: The fourth T-20 match to be held between India and South Africa has been canceled due to dense fog. This match was to be played in Lucknow. Now the next and final match of this series will be held on 19 December at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. At present the Indian team is ahead 2-1 in the series.

Indian team’s lead in the series

The first match of this five-match T-20 series took place in Cuttack, where India won by a spectacular 101 runs. The second match was played at Mullapur Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh, in which the visiting team defeated host India. The next match was played in Dharamshala, where India won and took a 2-1 lead in the series. Now after the cancellation of the fourth match, the last match of the series will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium.

First international match canceled due to fog

This is the first time that an international cricket match has been canceled due to dense fog. Such a situation had never happened before, when a match was interrupted due to low visibility.

Gill and other players out of the series

Before the match, an important news came, in which it was told that Shubman Gill has suffered a thumb injury, due to which he will not be able to participate in the remaining two T20 matches of this series. The injury to Gill, who is the vice-captain of the Indian team in the T20 format, has become a matter of concern for the team management. The T20 World Cup is now about one and a half months away, and this injury could have an impact on the team’s strategy.

Bumrah and Akshar are also out

During the third T20 match, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and star all-rounder Axar Patel were also ruled out of the series. Akshar remained absent due to illness, while Bumrah remained out due to personal reasons.
