Key Highlight
- The match was finally canceled late in the evening after the umpires performed numerous inspections, but the circumstances never improved sufficiently to begin play.
- Play was unsafe and impossible due to the poor Air Quality Index (AQI) and dense fog, which disappointed both teams and spectators.
- India continues to lead the series 2-1 ahead of the fifth and final T20i in Ahmedabad on 19 December. As a result, there are no points or results from this match.
- Fans, experts, and the media have criticized the BCCI for scheduling an international match in northern India during the winter, when fog and haze are usual.
- Players were concerned about their safety since visibility problems were so bad that even basic elements, like spotting the white ball under lights, were unreliable.
