Most Runs Conceded in Super Overs in International Cricket

2. West Indies 25 runs vs New Zealand 2008 (T20I)

This match was the first ever super over contest in a T20I match. Chasing a score of 156, West Indies ended up scoring just one shy. Chris Gayle was one man army for them, as he picked up two wickets and then scored 67 runs with the bat. Even he couldn't ensure the Windies a win in the 20 overs time. 

But once the match got into the super over, it was Gayle's show in true sense. He started off with a six off Daniel Vettori over deep mid-wicket. But then his batting partner Xavier Marshall, who just featured in this list playing for the USA, got run out. It was a tough situation, because one more wicket and the Caribbean side were out. But the universe boss stood tall and hammered Vettori for 18 runs off the next four balls. 

Even Gayle got a standing ovation from the crowd. By then, it was WI's match to lose. To achieve a score of 26 in just six balls was an impossible task back then. New Zealand ended up losing two wickets with two balls to spare. This match marked the start of a new era in T20 cricket that the entire world is experiencing now.
