Unexpected Power Outage Halts IPL Match in Dharamshala

A crucial IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was halted due to floodlight failure at Dharamshala's HPCA stadium. The issue arose from a local power outage. Concurrent military tensions with Pakistan prompted BCCI to relocate Punjab Kings' next match to Ahmedabad for safety reasons.

An IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals came to an unexpected halt when floodlights malfunctioned at Dharamshala's HPCA stadium, leaving only one functional tower. This incident cut short Punjab's innings at 122-1 in 10.1 overs.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) attributed the issue to a power outage that affected one of the stadium's light towers, expressing regret for the inconvenience caused to fans present at the stadium.

Additionally, rising military tensions between India and Pakistan led the BCCI to relocate Sunday's match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians from Dharamshala to Ahmedabad, a decision underscored by safety and logistical concerns.
