The pitch was dark during a live match in the Caribbean Premier League 2024. This happened due to a flood light malfunction, which forced the match to be stopped. The incident took place in an eliminator match of CPL 2024, which was being played between Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals. This is not the first time in the history of cricket that a match has been stopped due to faulty floodlights. This is the fourth time in the last 18 months that a match has been halted or canceled due to a fault in the floodlights.
When the eliminator match of CPL 2024 was called off due to flood light failure, Trinbago Knight Riders were in the last over of their innings and their first ball was bowled. While his infield batsman Nicholas Puran remained unbeaten by scoring 91 runs in 60 balls. Meaning, he is 9 runs away from his second consecutive CPL century this season.
