T-20 match canceled due to fog in Lucknow, UPCA will return the ticket amount

Lucknow: The scheduled fourth T20 match between India and South Africa at Ekana Cricket Stadium was cancelled. This decision was taken due to dense fog and smog. The match was to start at 7 pm on Wednesday, but visibility in the stadium was extremely low, due to which even the toss could not take place. The umpires checked the situation six times, but in the absence of any improvement it was finally decided to abandon the match at around 9:30 pm.
