After tensions escalated between India-Pakistan, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala was called off midway through the first innings last week. Later, the cash-rich league was suspended indefinitely.

Notably, the venues for playoffs and finals are yet to be announced.

The final was originally scheduled fo May 25 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. However, as per ANI, due to the rain prediction, a decision can be made to change the venue for the trophy-deciding fixture.

"The final venue could be changed as rain can affect the matches in Kolkata later, so this call will be taken accordingly," a BCCI official told ANI.
