BCCI did not pay attention to the scheduling of the T20 series and as a result the fans of Lucknow did not get a chance to watch the T20 match. The strange thing is that the fans who had spent thousands of rupees and bought tickets, will not even get their entire money back. They will get the money back only after deducting the money from the booking charge.
Not only the fans, but Team India also suffered losses due to the cancellation of Lucknow T20. The Indian team is leading 2-1 in the T20 series. If she had won the match in Lucknow, the series would have been in her name there. And even if it had lost, it would have had another chance to win the series but now to win the T20 series, Team India will have to win the fifth T20 at any cost which will be held in Ahmedabad.
