Dharamsala, May 8 (UNI) The 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was on Thursday night called off following a major power outage at the HPCA Stadium here.
The interruption occurred at 21:29 local time, when players and umpires left the field due to failure of multiple floodlight towers. Initially, two of the light towers went off, leaving just one operational. Despite efforts to restore power, the delay extended longer than anticipated.
By 21:43 local time, sources indicated that the match had been abandoned, although there was no immediate official statement. Shortly thereafter, unconfirmed reports suggested that the game had been called off due to security concerns, with IPL authorities instructing both teams to vacate the venue.
