Where it comes to the lowest team scores in IPL playoffs, then the ongoing Qualifier 1 of the 2025 season saw PBKS get bundled out for just 101 runs in 14.1 overs against RCB in Mullanpur. In the 2017 season, KKR posted a low key 107 against Mumbai, a contest that was a no show as the latter won the game easily. Furthermore, in 2008, the maiden season of the famed IPL, one yet again saw one of the lowest team scores in IPL playoffs wherein Punjab, who faltered today as seen vs RCB, were able to just make 112 for the loss of 8 wickets va Chennai. The result? A no brainer; Dhoni led his team to a viral win.
Another incident involving one of the lowest team scores in IPL playoffs happened when the usually high scoring SRH managed just 128 for the loss of 7 wickets versus KKR. It was never going to be enough for a team that had raw power hitters like Russell and company.
Table of the lowest Team Scores in IPL Playoffs History:
| Team Total | Team | Opponent | Result | Year |
| 101 | PBKS | RCB | - | 2025 |
| 107 | KKR | MI | Lost | 2017 |
| 112/8 | PBKS | CSK | Lost | 2008 |
| 128/7 | SRH | KKR | Lost | 2017 |
| 129/8 | MI | RPS | Won | 2017 |
| 130/9 | RR | GT | Lost | 2022 |
Even Mumbai has had its share in the list of lowest team scores in IPL playoffs when during the critical 2017 contest, the Rohit powered team was able to only make 129 for 8 against Rising Pune Supergiants, a team that today isn’t even there in the edition. Resultantly, RPS won a crucial game and made light work of Mumbai Indians.
Three years back, in the 2022 season of the IPL, Rajathan Royals were also responsible for one of the lowest team scores in IPL playoff history. In a vital contest played against Gujarat Titans, then a very new entrant to the premier franchise based tournament, Rajathan were only able to score 130 for the loss of 9 wickets in the playoff contest. This was never going to be enough as one found out with the resilient and confident Gujarat overcoming the modest ask in the end.
