Three teams with most 200-plus scores in T20I cricket

T20 cricket has gained massive popularity over the years with the form being crisp and full of momentum shifts. Initially, there were some reservations regarding this version of the game. Hence, things changed with time and T20 became a fan-favourite format. It has to be noted that one requires certain skillsets to thrive in T20Is. Big-hitting is one of the most significant aspects of this format.

With an innings lasting only 20 overs, batters are required to accumulate the maximum runs in a limited period. Owing to the same, several prominent bowlers have been taken to cleaners and teams have put up massive totals on the board. The challenge of recording massive scores gets tougher in international cricket with the bowlers being of the highest quality. Nevertheless, many teams have embraced this challenge.

Meanwhile, let’s look at 3 Teams with most 200+ scores in T20I cricket:-

South Africa – 14

South Africa have done a commendable job in T20Is so far. Over the years, the nation has produced many mavericks in AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, David Miller and JP Duminy. While these names are capable of tormenting bowling line-ups single-handedly, there have been occasions when multiple players have fired in the same match.

In those games, South Africa posted a mountain on the board. So far, South Africa have breached the 200-run mark 14 times in T20 Internationals.

Australia – 14

Like South Africa, Australia has also been a land of producing batting stalwarts. Eras changed, rules were revamped and even a new format came into the picture. However, what remained constant was Australia possessing a destructive batting line-up.

Over the years, dashers like Shane Watson, Aaron Finch, David Warner, and Glenn Maxwell have served Australia in the shortest format. Owing to the same, the Aussies have crossed the 200-run mark as many as 14 times.

India – 17

Winners of the inaugural T20 World Cup, India top the list. Notably, many prominent batters like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid didn’t feature in the 2007 gala event. However, Team India kept on producing swashbuckling batters who made a mark in this format as well.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, and Suresh Raina are some of the many prominent batters to have represented India in T20Is. As a result, the Men in Blue have scored 17 times in excess of 200 in a T20I match.
