The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday was called off “due to a significant technical failure” at the stadium.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Punjab Kings were 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when the lights went out.
Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya had just been dismissed for 70 off 34 by T Natarajan before the match had been halted as three floodlight towers went off around 9.29pm IST. Around 11 minutes later, the match was eventually called off.
“Due to a power outage in the area, one of the light towers at the HPCA stadium malfunctioned. BCCI regrets the inconvenience caused to the in-stadium attendees,” an official statement said.
