[Watch] Fog stops the play in India vs New Zealand 2023 World Cup match.
In a truly unprecedented turn of events, the 2023 World Cup match between India and New Zealand, held at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday, October 22, was temporarily interrupted by thick fog.
The unusual incident occurred during the 16th over of India’s run chase. At that point, the hosts had reached a score of 100/2 after 15.4 overs, with Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer occupying the crease. However, due to the challenging visibility conditions caused by the dense fog, both Kohli and Iyer engaged in a brief discussion with the on-field umpires. Subsequently, they decided to leave the field until the fog cleared, leading to an unexpected pause in the match.
