Dense Fog Cancels India-SA T20 in Lucknow: First Time in History

• The 4th T20I between India and South Africa in Lucknow was cancelled due to dense fog, a first for an international T20 match.
• Spectators waited 3.5 hours at Ekana Stadium; umpires conducted 6 inspections before calling off the match at 9:30 PM.
• Poor air quality (AQI above 400) in Lucknow was also a significant factor, deemed dangerous for players.
• India currently leads the five-match series 2-1; the final match is scheduled for Ahmedabad.
• A 1998 Pakistan-Zimbabwe Test in Faisalabad was also affected by fog, leading to its cancellation.

Why It Matters: Dense fog and poor AQI led to the historic cancellation of the India-SA T20 in Lucknow.
