The IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was unexpectedly halted on Thursday due to air raid alerts in nearby cities amid escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan.

Punjab Kings had scored 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when the lights went out, initially attributed to a floodlight failure. The match began later than its scheduled time due to rain, but was unfortunately interrupted by security concerns.

Crowds at the stadium, which has a capacity of around 23,000, were evacuated without panic. With tonight's match canceled, the fate of the tournament hangs in the balance as BCCI convenes a meeting amid growing security concerns among foreign players.
