The 4th T20I between India and South Africa at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow was abandoned after excessive fog and poor visibility made play impossible, even after six ground inspections by match officials. The toss had already been delayed earlier due to the dense fog, and conditions failed to improve as the evening progressed, forcing the umpires to call off the game altogether. The decision disappointed fans and players alike, with environmental conditions, including hazardous air quality and thick smog, being widely cited as the main reason for the cancellation. India still lead the five-match series 2-1, with the final T20I scheduled in Ahmedabad.
