IPL 2025: PBKS vs DC match at HPCA Dharamsala halted due to Floodlight Failure

The match 58 of the Indian Premier League is under a series of threats today. Earlier, it underwent the washout threat, and the toss was delayed due to rain, and now the technical glitch has halted the match in between. The match 58 was a clash between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala.

Winning the toss, Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first and invited the visitors to field first. Batting first, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran opened for Punjab, where Mitchell Starc opened the bowling attack. Having smashed 69 after the Powerplay, the duo built a strong playoff, and it was the second time this season that the duo had survived the powerplay. The partnership ended with Priyansh being dismissed for 70 runs.

At present, the match 58 has stopped due to a floodlight failure, and the incident has happened during the 11th over when Punjab Kings were batting at 122-1. The delay in the match is expected to be longer than initially anticipated due to a technical issue with the floodlights. The players and umpires have left the field as they wait for the problem to be fixed. The floodlights are crucial for visibility during the match, and the failure of multiple light towers has caused the delay. Currently, only one light tower is still functioning while the others are off. The situation is being worked on, but the wait for resolution is likely to take some time.

With a wait, and amidst the Blackout, the match between the teams has been called off and each team has been awarded 1 point each.
