Top 10 Highest Team totals in T20 Internationals

Top 10 Highest Team totals in T20 Internationals: There have been many tweaks and improvisations in the beautiful game of cricket over the years. But none have changed its dimensions quite like T20 cricket has. It has not only helped bring the new audience to the sport but also modified and on many occasions changed the traditional notions. All these result oriented Test matches we are encountering would not have been a reality in the absence of the flavour T20s have brought to the stage.

And with shorter boundaries and bigger bats massive totals are a common sight. Most of the largest team totals you’ll find come in T20 World cups because that’s when major teams get to play minnows and impose their superiority. But even elsewhere when sides with mighty batting prowess take the bowling to the cleaners such occurrences are witnessed.

Here we take a look at the Top 10 Highest Team totals in T20 Internationals:

10. 218/4 – India vs Eng, Durban, 2007

This game from the 2007 T20 World Cup later went on to be a part of cricketing folklore. Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag were finding the English bowling pretty easy to handle and made 136 runs for the opening wicket which remained a record for the next 8 years. But the greater record was to come when Yuvraj stepped onto the field and Flintoff spurred him with a few words. What followed was carnage. Yuvi hit young Stuart Broad for six majestic sixes in one over to bring the Durban crowd to its feet. The memorable knock propelled India’s score to 218, and they won the game comfortably by 18 runs.
