The toss for the fourth T20I between India and South Africa was on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) delayed due to fog engulfing the Ekana Stadium.
The decision was taken as a thick layer of smog will create hindrance for the fielders if the balls are hit in the air.
The next inspection is at 8 p.m.
The BCCI’s Tours and Fixtures Committee’s decision to slot matches in the eastern and northern regions of the country during winters has certainly come under scanner.
