IPL 2025 Powerplay Scores: Highest Power Play Score & List of First 6 Overs Totals of Every Match in Season 18

IPL 2025 Powerplay Scores: A Power play is crucial period of a limited overs game as it dictates which way the game is headed for a team that is setting a total or a team that is chasing a target right from the offset.

In T20 cricket, the powerplay is even more vital as the batters get only the first six overs of an innings of 20 overs to utilise the fielding restrictions of not more than two fielders outside the inner ring or the 30 yard circle.

Over the years in the Indian Premier League, for the majority of the time, we have witnessed batters give explosive starts to their teams. Very rarely there have been slow starts especially when matches are played on good batting wickets.

In IPL 2025, despite it being early days, we have seen teams post big scores on most occasions inside the first six overs of an innings. Sunrisers Hyderabad, the record-holders, has already posted the highest score in the powerplay this season.

Apart from SRH, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals also scored at swift pace in the first six overs so far in the season so far dominated by high-scoring contests. Here is a look at the top 5 powerplay scores in IPL 2025:

Powerplay scores of every match in IPL 2025

While most powerplays have seen teams post 50 plus totals, there have been three occasions when teams have smashed 100 or more inside the first six overs of an IPL match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad currently hold the record for highest score in powerplay in IPL history, having scored 125 runs against the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

SRH also holds the record for the second highest power play score, while Kolkata Knight Riders had held the record previously with 105 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2017 at the batters paradise - M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

KKR had surpassed a three-year-old record held by Chennai Super Kings, who had scored 100 in the first six overs (powerplay) during IPL 2014 Qualifier 2 match against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

While those three innings witnessed the highest ever powerplay scores in IPL history, there are many more innings that saw the team score over 14 runs per over, and the two most successful sides have dominated the list.
