The IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals here on Thursday (May 8, 2025) was called off due to security reasons following air raid alerts in nearby areas, which forced a blackout in the hill town.
The Punjab side was 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when the lights went out which at first was attributed to floodlight failure.
