The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has provided a platform for local and international cricketers to showcase their skills. Over the years, the league has witnessed incredible performances from local and international cricketers. However, one of the most impressive records in the BPL is the lowest total overall across all seasons. In T20 cricket, a low total score can often result in a team losing, making it challenging for the batting side to put runs on the board.
In the BPL, there have been instances where teams have struggled to put up a competitive total and have fallen short of the target set by their opponents. The lowest total in BPL history stands at 70 runs, which the Sylhet Royals achieved in the 2013 season. This low score was a testament to the quality of the opposition’s bowling attack and the difficulty of playing on a tricky wicket.
