Match Stopped Midway in Dharamshala

The decision followed an unprecedented incident during the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match on Thursday in Dharamshala. The game was halted after 10.1 overs, with Punjab at 122/1, when stadium lights were turned off as part of a citywide blackout directive. Spectators were escorted out due to security concerns amid military action.

A BCCI official told PTI, “It doesn’t feel right to continue cricket when the nation is facing such a serious crisis. All stakeholders agreed this is a time for solidarity, not celebration.”
