Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals Match Called Off Midway in Dharamsala Due to Rising Tensions

In the biggest breaking news, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match-up between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Delhi Capitals (DC) has been abandoned in Dharamsala due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

It was decided to go ahead with the IPL 2025 match-up between the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, despite the War between India and Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir raging.

Dharamsala is in very close proximity to the War area but it was decided to go ahead with the schedule while the next match scheduled at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium has been moved to Ahmedabad between Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians.

What happened during Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals?

The Punjab Kings got off to a flying start in the match after captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first after winning the toss.

Punjab’s opening duo of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh put on a 122-run partnership before Arya was dismissed by T Natarajan on the first ball of the 11th over.

As soon as Priyansh Arya’s wicket fell, the floodlights at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (H.P.C.A) Stadium went off, which is not a rarity as floodlight failure is quite common in at the venue.

However, the players were taken off the field and the crowd in attendance were evacuated by the police authority.

Will the PBKS vs DC match be rescheduled at a later date?

With the game abandoned, this leaves a lot of questions and repercussions in the IPL 2025 playoffs race. Although the BCCI has officially called off the match, there is no official confirmation whether the points will be shared or the game will be rescheduled at a later date.

PBKS vs DC match tickets refund
