Mumbai-Punjab IPL match likely to be shifted to Ahmedabad

NEW DELHI, May 08 (AFP): India's IPL cricket match on Sunday between Mumbai and Punjab has been moved to Gujarat, local media reported Thursday, quoting the state's cricket authorities.

The match between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings was due to take place in Dharamsala, where the airport has closed in the wake of violence between India and neighbouring Pakistan. But Thursday evening's match between Punjab and Delhi , which is also set to take place in Dharamsala, will proceed as planned, as will all other games in coming days. Sunday's match will now be played in the city of Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat, the state's cricket association secretary Anil Patel told the PTI news agency on Thursday.
