WC 2023: Heavy fog in Dharamsala interrupts India's chase of 274

Heavy fog in Dharamsala stalled India's chase of 274 against New Zealand in their World Cup 2023 match at the scenic Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. It all started getting hazy at around 7:30 pm IST and the play continued only to stop a little while later as the visibility dipped.

India were 100 for 2 in 15.4 overs when the umpires decided to take the two sets of



players off the field in Dharamsala. On-air commentators explained that the visibility kept dipping after 7:30 pm IST and that they were not able to see the other side of the stadium. Television visuals showed that the floodlights were covered in haze.

The umpires had a long chat with the two Indian batters Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer and New Zealand's captain Tom Latham before taking off the players.
