The IPL tie between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, originally scheduled for Dharamsala, might be relocated to Mumbai. This change comes after the hill town's airport was shut down due to security measures following recent missile strikes by India on terror facilities in Pakistan.

The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals clash is still set to go ahead in Dharamsala as planned, as both teams have already reached the location. No official cancellation notice has been received from either the BCCI or government authorities.

The situation remains fluid with ongoing discussions about travel alternatives, as Delhi Capitals need to return to the capital for their next match against Gujarat Titans. The closure of multiple airports adds to the logistical challenges for teams and broadcast crews.
