Lowest totals in T20 World Cup history

One of the most eagerly anticipated cricket competitions is the T20 World Cup. Each team offers everything they have to do well in this competition. This is the reason why both outstanding and undesirable records can be produced in this event.

This makes it one of the most fiercely contested competitions in the world. Every team makes an effort to score the most runs possible in the given 20 overs to gain an advantage over their rivals. However, occasionally they lose their focus while doing this, which leads to an all-out with a poor score.

Let us have a look at the instances where the lowest totals were recorded by a team-

55 by West Indies vs England in Dubai in 2021

At the previous edition of the World Cup in the UAE, this incident took place. In the 14th game between the West Indies and England at the Dubai Cricket Stadium.  the English team decided to bowl first winning the toss. The Caribbean side, batting first, got off to a terrible start, losing their first five wickets in the first seven overs. Following that, the English bowlers just overpowered the West Indies’ innings, dismissing them for just 55 runs.

44 by Netherlands vs Sri Lanka in Sharjah in 2021

This was Sharjah’s 12th game in the competition. The Netherlands was asked to bat first after Sri Lanka won the toss. The batting team got off to another bad start, losing wickets frequently. The Dutch batters were soundly trounced by the Sri Lankan bowlers. The Netherlands went all-out for just 44 runs as a result, which was the second-lowest innings total.

39 by Netherlands vs Sri Lanka in Chattogram in 2014

One of history’s most humiliating records belongs to the Netherlands. The 2014 World Cup’s 19th saw Sri Lanka and the Netherlands locking horns. Batting first, they lost three wickets with just one run on board. They were unable to recover from that point afterward, as the entire lineup was dished out for just 39 runs. Additionally, they recorded the lowest total in the T20I World Cup’s history.
