Spectators of the abandoned India-South Africa T20I in Lucknow will receive refunds, confirmed BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) will manage reimbursements for the match called off due to dense fog and poor visibility. Saikia highlighted the unpredictable nature of winter weather, noting this was an exceptional situation despite BCCI's efforts to reschedule domestic games.
