Match 58 of IPL 2025 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on Thursday was cancelled midway following air raid alerts in neighbouring cities of Jammu and Pathankot, putting the entire league at risk of being called off due to India’s ongoing military conflict with Pakistan. Punjab were 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when lights went out which at first was attributed to floodlight failure.Both teams were awarded a point each.Punjab, now on 16 points from 12 matches, stay in third place with a steady Net Run Rate (NRR) of +0.376. With two games still to play, they remain very much in control of their own destiny. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, moved to 14 points from 12 matches with the extra point, but will now likely need to win both of their remaining fixtures to secure qualification given the congestion at the top.The shared points also leave the door slightly ajar for Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, both of whom need near-perfect finishes and some favourable results to break into the top four.Points Table Overview After Match 58:Gujarat Titans remain top with 16 points from 12 matches and a strong NRR of +0.793.
