IPL: Full List of IPL matches decided by a margin of one-run

The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League has been witnessing some amazing matches. While the batters began the season with some dominating performances, the bowlers are starting to make a comeback to make the competition more open.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have already broken the record for the highest team total in the history of IPL twice. The match on Sunday saw the Kolkata Knight Riders win the game by one run to nearly knock out Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It was a heartbreaking loss as Karn Sharma tried his best to help RCB win the game against the home team. 

Over the course of IPL history, there have many such games that have gone down to the wire. The victory margin of one run has been done only on a few occasions in the 17 seasons of the league. Such matches have gone on to become legendary in the folklore of the IPL and have assumed historic proportions. 

On most of the occasions, the match has been a low-scoring thriller with the bowling team showing excellent grit and determination to win the game. Twice in the history of the IPL, the fate of the tournament has been decided with such a small margin of win. These type of games are the biggest reason why the IPL is called one of the most loved sporting leagues in the world. 

In this article, we cast a closer look at the 1-run win by a team in the history of IPL.
