Players were taken out in a hurry
The situation became such that the players and spectators were immediately taken out of the stadium. According to the report, some players reached the hotel so soon that even their pads did not land.
Important match in playoff race
The result of this match was very important for both teams. If Punjab had won, it could have become the first team to qualify for the playoffs. Currently, Punjab is third in 12 matches with 16 points. At the same time, Delhi Capitals remain in fifth place with 14 points.
Waiting continues even after 18 years
Both Delhi and Punjab teams are associated with the beginning of IPL, but till date not a single title has been won. This time both are expected to win the title, and the first step for that is to reach the playoffs.
