The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 faces its most serious disruption after the match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was abruptly called off on Thursday evening. The game, held in Dharamsala, was halted after just 10.1 overs due to a security-triggered blackout following aerial threats across the Indo-Pak border. Spectators were evacuated and players swiftly escorted back to their hotels, as the venue went into lockdown.
The IPL season hangs in the balance as the recent incident has thrown everything into doubt. The BCCI, right after the abrupt end to the PBKS vs DC match, held a crisis meeting to determine whether the tournament could continue. The result of the PBKS vs DC encounter is still not decided either, with both teams not given any points as of yet.
Will LSG vs RCB IPL 2025 match happen tonight?
This brings us to today’s match—Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), scheduled at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Despite the tense situation nationally, as of now, the match is scheduled to go ahead. BCCI chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed this, stating, “Yes, it (LSG vs RCB) is on as of now, but obviously it is an evolving situation and any decision will be taken keeping the best interest of all stakeholders in mind.”
Both teams are currently stationed in Lucknow, and security has been massively heightened in the city. While Lucknow is relatively distant from the conflict zone, the volatile national atmosphere means any decision could still change at the last minute.
Unless the BCCI announces otherwise before 7:00 PM IST today (May 9), LSG vs RCB will go ahead as planned. Both sides are in a tight playoff race and desperately need the two points on offer. However, the league’s continuation depends not just on cricketing needs but also on larger national concerns. All eyes remain on the BCCI and the government now. While options such as a temporary pause of the IPL or even a revised schedule are on the table, no definitive decision has been made.
