Arun Jaitley Stadium: The double-header day in the 2025 Delhi Premier League (DPL) turned out to be a no-show as both matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium were abandoned on Saturday due to persistent rain.

On Saturday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had initially issued a yellow alert for Delhi, warning of heavy rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunderstorms. It was later raised to red alert, as reports of waterlogging in various areas of the city and flight disruptions came.

The rainy weather’s effect was pretty evident when Match 31 of the competition between North Delhi Strikers and East Delhi Riders was called off due to rain. East Delhi had won the toss and elected to field first. Sarthak Ranjan gave North Delhi Strikers a flying start by smacking India fast bowler Navdeep Saini for consecutive boundaries, before rain forced the teams to go off the field.
