Amidst security concerns, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Dharamshala has been called off, and the players have been asked to evacuate the stadium. The match delayed right after Priyansh Arya left, and a floodlight was turned off. Meanwhile, Pakistan has already launched attacks at Pathankot, which is just 85 kilometers away. With blackouts going on in multiple parts of India in the North and Northeast, Himachal Pradesh has likely received an instruction from the government to pause the game.

Despite efforts to restore power, the issue persisted, leaving officials with no choice but to abandon the game. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued a statement expressing regret over the inconvenience faced by spectators present at the venue. In this case, both Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings shared a point each. Had not the security sirens taken their toll in the air, it would have definitely been a loss from Punjab's side. Within 11 overs, Punjab has added 122 runs, losing 1 wicket. Punjab literally needed a win to seal the playoffs. But the match has finally been called off. Well, in such a situation, with several regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan and Punjab under alert and blackout, the future of IPL 2025 is still uncertain.
