What is the Lowest Score in IPL?
However, there have been times when things haven’t gone according to plan, and teams have found themselves on the receiving end of some crushing defeats. In this blog, we take a look at the three lowest scores in IPL history.
- Royal Challengers Bangalore – 49 all out
In 2017, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) when they were bowled out for just 49 runs in 9.4 overs. The KKR bowlers were simply too good for the RCB batsmen, who failed to put up any resistance. The match took place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, and was a forgettable day for RCB fans.
- Rajasthan Royals – 58 all out
In 2009, the Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for just 58 runs in 15.1 overs in a match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The match took place at Newlands, Cape Town, and was a one-sided affair from start to finish. The RCB bowlers were on fire, and the Rajasthan Royals batsmen had no answer to their skill and accuracy.

- Delhi Daredevils – 66 all out
In 2017, the Delhi Daredevils were humbled by the Mumbai Indians when they were bowled out for just 66 runs in 13.4 overs. The Mumbai Indians bowlers were simply too good for the Delhi Daredevils batsmen, who could not cope with the pressure. The match took place at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi, and was a disappointing day for the home fans.
| Team | Score | Overs | RR | Inns | Opposition | Ground | Match Date | Scorecard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RCB | 49 | 9.4 | 5.06 | 2 | KKR | Eden Gardens | 23 Apr 2017 | T20 |
| Royals | 58 | 15.1 | 3.82 | 2 | RCB | Cape Town | 18 Apr 2009 | T20 |
| Daredevils | 66 | 13.4 | 4.82 | 2 | Mumbai | Delhi | 6 May 2017 | T20 |
These three matches serve as a reminder that even the best teams can have an off day, and that anything can happen in the unpredictable world of T20 cricket. While these low scores may be embarrassing for the teams involved, they also serve as a testament to the skill and competitiveness of the IPL, and the incredible performances that can be seen on the field.
