A ranked list of IPL stadiums where matches most frequently go down to the final six balls.

10 itemsUpdated Mar 26, 2026

Chasing at venues like Wankhede and Chinnaswamy has become a hallmark of the IPL. With the 2024 and 2025 seasons seeing record-breaking totals, the frequency of matches reaching the 20th over has increased. Small boundary dimensions at M. Chinnaswamy and the true bounce at Wankhede make it difficult for bowlers to defend even 20+ runs in the final over, leading to a high percentage of last-ball finishes.

#	Name	Total Matches	Notable Finish
1	Wankhede Stadium Mumbai, Maharashtra Statistically the leader in close finishes due to its short boundaries and the sea breeze factor which keeps the ball traveling.	125+	MI vs RR (2023) - 214 Chased
2	M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru, Karnataka Known as a 'bowler's graveyard,' this venue sees a massive percentage of games decided in the final over because no lead is safe.	100+	RCB vs LSG (2023) - Last ball bye
3	MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai, Tamil Nadu The 'Chepauk' often produces low-scoring thrillers where spinners drag the game into the final over.	85+	CSK vs KKR (2021) - Jadeja's cameo
4	Eden Gardens Kolkata, West Bengal A venue that transitioned from a slow track to a batting paradise, hosting several high-scoring 20th-over chases.	90+	KKR vs SRH (2024) - Russell's heroics
5	Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Extremely short square boundaries often lead to games being decided by a six on the final couple of deliveries.	80+	DC vs MI (2023) - Last ball double
6	Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad, Telangana A balanced track that has hosted some of the most iconic final-over title defenses.	75+	MI vs CSK (2019 Final) - 1 run win
7	Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur, Rajasthan Famous for RR's ability to stretch games, this venue has seen numerous last-over successful chases by the home side.	55+	RR vs GT (2024) - Rashid Khan's finish
8	Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad, Gujarat Despite its size, the lightning-fast outfield and night-time dew make last-over chases very common here.	35+	GT vs CSK (2023 Final) - Jadeja 6, 4
9	Punjab Cricket Association Stadium Mohali, Punjab One of the quickest outfields in India often assists teams chasing in the death overs.	60+	PBKS vs MI (2023) - High scoring chase
10	Dubai International Cricket Stadium Dubai, UAE A frequent host for shifted matches, it holds a record for the highest number of Super Overs in a single season (2020).	45+	MI vs PBKS (2020) - Double Super Over
