The Indian Premier League (IPL) is in its fifteenth edition in 2022. It has been contested in 3 different countries and has seen a lot of different pitches, scoring styles and weather conditions. While some of the games have been extremely high-scoring, some of them have seen not a lot of runs scored. However, the thrill of T20 cricket has not been compromised in the tournament.

Some of the low-scoring games have seen bowlers come out on top in both innings. It gets better if low totals in the first innings get defended in the second. The excitement and suspense rise with every dot ball and so does pressure, not only on the players but also on the fans. Some totals of less than 120 have also been marked safe.
In the list of Top 5 lowest defended scores in IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) find themselves twice on the happier side. The other three teams to have managed to win despite scoring at not more than a run a ball in the first innings are Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), and Mumbai Indians (MI).
KXIP failed to chase down a paltry score of 116 against CSK way back in 2009. It has remained the lowest score defended in IPL history even after 10 more seasons. MI and Pune Warriors India appear twice in the list.
Chennai Super Kings defended 116 against the Yuvraj Singh-led Kings XI Punjab side in 2009.
Royal Challengers Bangalore were bowled out for 49 against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017.
