IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC Updates

Authorities abandoned the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals after 10.1 overs due to a “significant technical failure” at HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal called off the game as a precaution after Jammu authorities issued a red alert. Officials evacuated fans, players, and staff immediately; many players left the stadium still wearing batting pads.

Punjab Kings had started strongly, scoring 122/1 in 10.1 overs. Opener Priyansh Arya smashed 70 off 34 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh remained unbeaten on 50. Rain delayed the toss earlier in the day, pushing back the start of play.

PBKS were chasing victory in the game against Delhi knowing that a win could make them the first team to confirm top four playoff spot. Both teams has been around since the inception of the IPL, 18 years ago — albeit with different names — but have never won the title. If that has to change this season, the first step would be to secure a spot in the IPL playoffs.

After the draw, Punjab Kings still sit third with 16 points from 12 matches, while Delhi are in 5th spot with 14 points. Shreyas Iyer’s side are on the same number of points as the top 2 sides, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But a win today would have taken them to the top with 17 points.
