Lowest Team Scores in IPL from 2008 to 2025

The thrilling T20 cricket extravaganza IPL has seen teams succumbing under run scoring or either run chasing pressures, resulting in the crowd witnessing some of the lowest team total in the cash-rich league’s history. The lowest total made so far is 49 runs, an unwanted record held by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The side failed to get going against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during the IPL 2017 edition. During the April 23^rd game, it took only 9.4 overs for Kolkata bowlers to rattle the RCB batting unit.

Other notable scores included RCB enjoying the bowling challenge instead of being a victim. This time, Rajasthan Royals (RR) were at the receiving end, as they collapsed on just 58 runs. Notably, the legendary former Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble claimed a 5-wicket haul (5/5) in that game. RR were again a victim against the same opponent in IPL 2023 season, where they scored 59. Besides, Delhi Capitals (Formerly Delhi Daredevils) suffered the unwanted fate on two occasions. They were bowled out on 66 and 67 runs, against Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings (Formerly Kings XI Punjab) in the IPL 2017 edition. All in all, these low scoring matches often highlight the dominance of a disciplined bowling attack amid tricky pitch conditions.
