The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Dharamsala Stadium was abruptly halted during the 11th over last night.

Initially, officials cited a floodlight malfunction as the reason, but shortly afterward, they announced the match had been called off, this time due to security concerns—delivering the news to a limited crowd.

A large number of spectators were still inside the stadium and were swiftly evacuated.

Dharamsala, situated less than 100 kilometers from Pathankot—where air raid alerts were issued—has become a flashpoint amid rising regional tensions. The situation has prompted the BCCI to hold emergency talks regarding the future of the tournament.

Players and officials were informed of the air raid alerts, and according to reports by Indian media, panic spread among both teams, with foreign players expressing particular concern for their safety.
