Teams with the most wins against an opposition in T20Is
Team India is enjoying a dream run in the T20I format under the stewardship of new full-time skipper Rohit Sharma. The Men in Blue achieved a flurry of records since the start of the West Indies series in mid-February 2022. India registered their 100th T20I win when they defeated West Indies by eight runs in the second T20I at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. They became only the second team after Pakistan to achieve the feat of 100 T20I wins. Also, after beating Sri Lanka by six wickets in the third and final T20I in Dharamshala, they have now won the most matches against opposition in T20Is, which is 17.
India has played 25 T20 internationals against the Lankan Lions and won 17 matches. Seven times they faced defeat and one match had no result. Rohit’s team India surpassed Pakistan’s record of 16 T20I victories against Zimbabwe. The Men in Green have faced the African country in 17 matches, winning 16 and losing just once. Pakistan has also registered 15 wins out of 25 matches against New Zealand and 15 victories out of 21 clashes against the West Indies.
