Delay due to fog in Ekana

The toss of the fourth T20 International between India and South Africa was delayed due to fog at the Ekana Stadium on Wednesday. This decision was taken because the thick layer of fog would cause problems to the fielders if the ball was hit in the air. The next inspection will be at 6:50 pm. Questions are certainly being raised on the decision of the Tour and Program Committee of the Indian Cricket Board to hold matches in the eastern and northern regions of the country in winter.
