The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala was called off after just 10.1 overs due to a power outage caused by technical failure. The BCCI expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to in-stadium attendees. Reports suggested that the floodlights went dim due to security concerns following air raid alerts in nearby areas amid tensions on the India-Pakistan border. Both teams and spectators were evacuated from the venue, with players and support staff boarding buses. The match being abandoned resulted in each team earning a point, with Delhi remaining in the third spot and Punjab in the fifth spot in the playoffs race. Punjab had scored 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs before the lights went out, with Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya leading the charge. This marked the second instance this season where a match involving Delhi was called off, with a previous washout against Kolkata Knight Riders.
