India, May 8 (V7N) - An Indian Premier League (IPL) match scheduled for Sunday between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings has been moved to Gujarat, according to local media citing cricket officials.

The fixture was originally planned to take place in Dharamshala, but the venue was changed after the local airport was shut down amid escalating tensions and violence between India and Pakistan.

However, the game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, also scheduled in Dharamshala for Thursday, will proceed as planned, along with other upcoming matches.

Anil Patel, Secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association, confirmed to the Press Trust of India, "Sunday's match will now be played in the city of Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat."

This decision follows the closure of several airports across northern India in the wake of airstrikes carried out by New Delhi on Pakistani territory.
