IND vs SA 4th T20I Lucknow Fog AS IT HAPPENED: The fourth T20I between India and South Africa in Lucknow was abandoned due to persistent fog, which severely reduced visibility under the floodlights. The toss was delayed, and umpires conducted multiple inspections throughout the evening, but conditions failed to improve.
With fog thickening and player safety becoming a concern, officials eventually called off the match. India continue to lead the five-match series 2-1, while South Africa now head to Ahmedabad with a final opportunity to level the series.

That brings an end to proceedings as the match has officially been abandoned. Understandably so, with visibility never likely to get better under the circumstances. The focus now shifts to Ahmedabad, where South Africa are left with just one opportunity - a must-win clash - if they are to draw the series level.
IND vs SA Fog Live: We Wait...
Supporters continue to wait anxiously as the umpires step onto the field for another round of checks, closely examining the floodlight visibility from the striker's end. With uncertainty still hanging in the air, the big question remains - will play finally get underway, or will South Africa lose the chance to push for a series turnaround if conditions refuse to improve?

IND vs SA Fog Live: What Has Happened So Far?

IND vs SA Fog Live Updates: No Improvement!
Match officials returned to the field at 8:30 PM for yet another assessment of the conditions, with senior BCCI official Rajiv Shukla also present at the venue. He was seen speaking with the umpires as they evaluated the situation. However, no call could be made after the inspection, and the wait continues, with the next review scheduled for 9:00 PM.
IND vs SA Fog Updates Live: Hello & Welcome!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the fog situation in Lucknow and which has led to the delay of the IND vs SA 4th T20I!
India head into the contest with a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, which has seen sharp momentum shifts across venues. The opening game in Cuttack on December 9 was a one-sided affair, with India piling up 175 for 6 before producing a ruthless bowling effort to dismiss South Africa for just 74, sealing a commanding 101-run win. The visitors hit back strongly in the second T20I at Mullanpur, where they posted an imposing 213 for 4 and then bowled India out for 162 to level the series with a 51-run victory.
The third match in Dharamsala once again swung in India's favour. Exploiting helpful conditions, the hosts restricted South Africa to 117 and wrapped up the chase with ease, reaching 120 for 3 in just 15.5 overs to reclaim the series lead. That performance has put India firmly in control, though conditions in Lucknow promise a different kind of challenge.
The Ekana Stadium has historically tested batters, with slow surfaces and low bounce. During the last T20I played at the venue in 2023, New Zealand were bowled out for 99, and India scraped home in a tense chase with only one ball remaining - a reminder of how tricky the ground can be under lights.
India, however, have been dealt a setback ahead of the crucial fixture. Vice-captain Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the final two T20Is after sustaining a toe injury during training, as reported by PTI and Cricbuzz. Sanju Samson is expected to open the innings in Gill's absence, while the team management has opted for a cautious approach to safeguard Gill's recovery.
With fog continuing to play spoilsport and inspections ongoing, both teams remain on standby. While India look to capitalise on their series advantage, South Africa face a must-win situation, needing a collective batting and bowling effort to keep the series alive.
