The fourth T20I between India and South Africa in Lucknow was cancelled after multiple inspections due to heavy fog. Fans had to vacate the stadium after waiting for almost 2 hours, as the umpires decided to call off the match after the final inspection. Naturally, fans, who were in the stadium to see the match live, were not happy with the decision. One of the fans said to the media that he bought his match tickets by selling three sacks of wheat to buy a ticket for the match. He demanded a refund, as the match was cancelled.
"I had sold three sacks of wheat to buy a ticket for this match; I want my ticket money back. Apart from this, another fan said that the ticket and the refund money do not matter; we wanted to watch this match. We are all very disappointed with the cancellation of the match," the fan said to the media.
Another fan also expressed his dissatisfaction over the decision to cancel the match. He claimed that for the past several days, Lucknow experienced a heavy layer of fog. So why did the board (BCCI) not take action in advance? The question was raised.
