An Indian Premier League clash was unexpectedly cut short when floodlights failed at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala, creating disappointment among fans. Punjab Kings were well underway with a score of 122-1 against Delhi Capitals when the power outage forced a premature end to the game.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stated the disruption was caused by a localized power outage, affecting one of the stadium's light towers. This unforeseen technical glitch resulted in only 10.1 overs being completed in the first innings after Punjab opted to bat.
Fans and organizers expressed their dismay at the situation, with the BCCI offering an apology for the inconvenience caused to spectators who attended the anticipated match. The sudden halt left the contest unfinished and questions regarding infrastructure surfaced once more.
