The playoffs in the IPL are full of tight situations, thrilling moments, edge-of-the-seat action, and thus sometimes surprising turns. We often talk and watch high-scoring games, but these moments were severe trouble for one side or the other. Here is a rundown of the 5 lowest scores ever in the IPL playoffs:
1. 87/10 – DD vs RR (2008)
Delhi Daredevils had a bad day against Rajasthan Royals in 2008 when they were bundled out for just 87 in the chase of 193. Only two players crossed the double-digit mark, and Warne’s men took an emphatic 105-run victory.
2. 101/10 – LSG vs MI (2023)
The 2023 playoffs saw a near-collapse of the Lucknow Super Giants against Mumbai Indians, managing only 101 in reply to MI’s 182 wickets in hand. Akash Madhwal was the man of the hour, destroying LSG with figures of 5 for 5 as MI registered a massive victory.

4. 104/10 – DEC vs CSK (2010)
Chennai Super Kings defeated Deccan Chargers in the 2010 semi-final by restricting them to 104 while chasing 142. Doug Bollinger was the star for CSK, taking four wickets and leading the attack.
