The Punjab Kings batted first and reached an impressive 122/1.
But the match was abandoned after just over ten overs due to “security fears.”
The match was called to a halt as the floodlights dimmed, which prompted players to be hauled off the pitch.
Spectators were left stunned by the cancellation of the match and left the stadium in their droves after a message from the MC.
Cricket fans were stunned that the match even went ahead given the rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
Various parts of India have been under attack from its neighbour.
Pakistan have today targeted several areas in the Jammu area, including the airport, with rockets.
One of the drones hit Jammu airport, which led to the immediate scrambling of India’s fighter jets.

India have activated its air defence system and successfully intercepted several of the incoming rockets
The Indian air defence system shot down a Pakistani F-16 aircraft following multiple attacks in the Jammu and Punjab districts.
Several drone attacks have also been foiled, including the shooting down of two Kamikaze drones in Poonch.
India has also launched their own attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
They claim they’ve targeted “terrorist infrastructure” in the wake of the horrific tourist massacre in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir last month.
