Top 10 Lowest Team Totals

by K D Mishra

Top 10 Lowest Team TotalsIn T20 cricket, even the best batting sides can fall apart suddenly. A mix of good bowling, tough pitch conditions, and pressure can lead to teams getting bowled out for very low scores. These rare low totals are surprising because the IPL is usually filled with high-scoring games. When bowlers get everything right swing, spin or bounce or when batsmen play too aggressively, an innings can collapse quickly. It’s a reminder of how unpredictable T20 cricket can be, where even star-studded teams can be stunned by a sharp bowling attack.

Some of the lowest scores in IPL history prove this point. Royal Challengers Bangalore hold the unwanted record of the lowest total just 49 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017. Rajasthan Royals also struggled with scores of 58 in 2009 and 59 in 2023, both against RCB. Delhi’s team (then Daredevils) were dismissed for 66 and 67 runs on consecutive days in 2017. These collapses show that no matter how strong a team looks on paper, one bad day, a tricky pitch, or brilliant bowling can turn a game upside down.
