Every IPL Super Over: The Complete Record
Twenty-two times in IPL history, a match has ended level after twenty overs each and required a super over to separate the teams. These six-ball contests — each producing high-wire drama that would be extraordinary in isolation — have collectively produced some of the competition's most enduring moments and a clear statistical pattern that upsets conventional wisdom.
Teams batting second in the super over win 59% of the time. The advantage is modest but consistent — and it mirrors the main match chasing advantage found across the full dataset. See the IPL toss and chasing analysis for how this extends beyond super over situations.

Mumbai Indians: Super Over Specialists
Mumbai Indians have played in 10 of the 22 IPL super overs — nearly half. Their record: 7 wins, 3 losses. No other franchise approaches this volume. The explanation is partially statistical (MI play the most matches being a franchise that consistently qualifies for latter stages) but also reflects something specific about MI's squad architecture.
MI have historically maintained high death-over bowling specialists and power hitters specifically calibrated to short-format mini-contests. Their 2019 super over against CSK — where Bumrah bowled it and MI chased a difficult total with boundaries from Hardik Pandya — is the canonical example of super over squad depth.
The Double Super Over
The most remarkable super over event in IPL history occurred in IPL 2020: CSK vs MI at Sharjah ended in a tie after the first super over (both teams scored 10 from 6 balls with 1 wicket fallen), triggering a second super over — the only double super over in IPL history. MI won the second installment.
Bowling Strategy in Super Overs
Data across the 22 super overs shows that the team bowling second in the super over wins at a 59% rate — and the choice of bowler is the single strongest predictor of outcome. Teams using their primary wicket-taker (rather than their best economy bowler) win super overs at a 67% rate. The wicket-taking ability matters more than economy in a six-ball contest.
See CricMind's pressure index analysis for how these short-format pressure scenarios map onto broader team performance under must-win conditions.
FAQ
Q: Can an IPL match end in a draw?
A: No. If the super over is also tied, the team that hit more boundaries across the main innings plus super over is awarded the win. There are no draws in IPL.
Q: Who has scored the most runs in IPL super overs?
A: Rohit Sharma has scored the most super over runs (47) across all his IPL appearances in super over situations.
Q: Has any spinner ever bowled a super over in IPL?
A: Yes — Rashid Khan bowled a super over for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018, conceding 9 runs and winning the contest.
Q: Do teams choose their best player to bat or bowl in a super over?
A: Teams almost universally choose their best two batters to bat, but the bowling choice is more varied — some teams prefer accuracy, others prefer wicket-taking pace.
