IPL 2025: Punjab became the team to bat the least number of overs in the IPL playoffs, made the third lowest score in the playoffs..

Punjab Kings were all out for 101 runs in the Qualifier-1 match of IPL 2025 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). RCB won the toss in this match and decided to bowl first and the bowlers left no stone unturned to prove it right. Punjab's batting was so poor that the team could not even play the full 20 overs.

Stoinis scored the most runs.

With this, Punjab registered an unwanted record in its name. RCB bowlers gave a big blow to Punjab with a deadly performance. Punjab's team was all out for a score of 101 runs in 14.1 overs. Marcus Stoinis scored the highest 26 runs for him. At the same time, Prabhsimran and Azmatullah Umarzai were dismissed after scoring 18-18 runs. Six batsmen of Punjab could not even touch the double-digit mark.

Punjab made its fourth-lowest score.
With this, the Punjab team has become the team to bat for the least number of overs in the IPL playoffs. It left behind this unwanted record made by Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) in 2008. At that time, the Delhi team could bat only for 16.1 overs against Rajasthan Royals. This is also the joint third-lowest total of IPL playoffs. The record of making the lowest score in IPL playoffs is in the name of Deccan Chargers, who scored 82 runs against RCB in 2010. This is also the fourth-lowest score of the Punjab Kings in the IPL.

Will Punjab be able to do a miracle?
Punjab had won by bowling out Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for 95 runs in a low-scoring match in the group stage. Now it will be interesting to see whether Punjab can repeat that feat in this match or not. There has been only one occasion in the IPL playoffs when a team has successfully defended a target of less than 140 runs. In the IPL 2017 match between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiants, Mumbai defended the target of 130 runs.
