In a stunning collapse in the Indian Premier League 2026 season, Delhi Capitals registered the lowest powerplay total ever, managing just 13/6 in six overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The shocking start left fans and analysts stunned, marking one of the darkest batting displays in the league’s history. The damage was inflicted early by RCB’s pace attack, with disciplined bowling and sharp movement dismantling Delhi’s top order. The batters struggled to cope with swing and accuracy, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to build any momentum during the crucial opening phase.
This 13/6 now stands as the worst powerplay performance in IPL history, surpassing previous low scores and highlighting how even top teams can crumble under pressure. It also reflects the growing dominance of quality fast bowling in a format often dominated by aggressive batting.
The collapse adds to a list of low-scoring moments in IPL history, including the infamous 49 all out by RCB, the lowest team total in the tournament. While the IPL is known for high-scoring thrillers, such dramatic failures continue to remind fans of cricket’s unpredictable nature
