One of the first teams to compete in the BPL, the Chittagong Vikings, was founded in 2002. They also tied the record for the fewest runs scored in a victory with the Barisal Bulls when they successfully defended a 181-run target against the Sylhet Super Stars.
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is one of three professional cricket competitions. It is played under the Twenty20 professional format, the top level of cricket game. In cricket, it’s rare for a team to win by a small number of runs. The match would be over for most teams after just one run. It depends on how well that team bats when trying to win. Teams with a lot of fighting until the end win by just one run. In the history of cricket, there have been less than 40 games in which one team won by just one run. This type of win by the smallest possible margin of one run depends on cricket analytics and the order in which the team is chasing bats. Here are the top 5 teams that won by just one run and had a great total to chase.
Here is the list of teams who win the smallest victories by runs:
| Team | Margin | Target | Opponent | Date |
| Chittagong Vikings | 1 run | 181 | Sylhet Super Star | 23 November 2015 |
| Barisal Bull | 1 run | 109 | Sylhet Super Star | 24 November 2015 |
| Comilla Victorians | 1 run | 128 | Dhaka Dynamites | 1 February 2019 |
| Comilla Victorians | 1 run | 152 | Fortune Barishal | 18 February 2022 |
| Khulna Royal Bengals | 2 runs | 172 | Sylhet Royals | 18 February 2012 |
Chittagong Vikings
One of the first teams to compete in the BPL, the Chittagong Vikings, was founded in 2002. Due to a change in ownership, the team’s name was changed from the Chittagong Kings to what it is now. They also tied the record for the fewest runs scored in a victory with the Barisal Bulls when they successfully defended a 181-run target against the Sylhet Super Stars. In 2015, they held the other team to only one damage run. Furthermore, their 41.67% victory rate is the third lowest among leagues because of their 31 wins and 41 losses throughout 72 games.
Barisal Bulls
Barisal Burners was the original name given to the organization when it was established in 2012; however, in 2015, it was rebranded as Barisal Bulls. Fortune Barisal is the moniker that has been given to the team since it came under the control of the Fortune Group. On November 24, 2015, the match between Barisal Bulls and Sylhet Super Stars, which was part of the Bangladesh Premier League, was played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. Barisal Bulls were victorious in the match by scoring one run against Sylhet Super Stars.
After Barisal Bulls won the toss and elected to bat first, they scored 108 runs off 19.3 overs and then limited Sylhet Super Stars to 107 runs off 20 overs while losing nine wickets.
Comilla Victorians
The Comilla Victorians are consistently one of the most successful franchises in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Even though the squad was only established in 2015, they have already won two titles (one each in 2015 and 2019). Their winning percentage of 63.46 per cent is significantly higher than that of their competitors. An exciting one-run triumph for Comilla Victorians over Dhaka Dynamites on February 1, 2019, propelled them to the top of the BPL standings and put them in the first place.
Comilla Victorians
The Comilla Victorians are consistently one of the most successful franchises in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). In the final match of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022, which took place on February 18, 2022, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Comilla Victorians defeated their bitter rivals, Fortune Barishal, by a score of one run to win the title of 8th Bangladesh Premier League. The prize for the most difficult domestic competition was won for the third time by competitors from Victoria. They also hold the second-greatest total overalls, 237/5, because of their victory over Khulna Titans in 2019. This places them in second place.
Khulna Royal Bengals
The Khulna Royal Bengals were the team that played in the BPL before the Khulna Titans took their position. The Khulna Titans are a new franchise that took their place. Gemcon Sports was the organization that pioneered it in 2016.
