Most of the teams used this format to rest their top players during this decade.
9. Afghanistan
It was only in February 2010 that Afghanistan made their T20I debut and their rise has been remarkable. They may not have played the big teams and that has been just limited to multi-nation tournaments. But the Afghans have shown that they are a league above the others who they frequently play.
They’ve barely played any of the top teams but Afghanistan have 53 wins from 78 matches. They’ve won 11 out of the 14 bilateral series’ that they have played. In fact, they have more wins than Bangladesh despite playing less games in the World T20s.
In 2016, they beat the World Champions West Indies in their final Super 10 game. Moreover, Afghanistan have had a couple of big winning streaks as well. Between March 2016 and March 2017, they won 11 T20Is in a row before bettering their own streak. They won 12 games in a row in the period – February 2018 and September 2019. Currently, they are ranked eighth on the ICC T20I team rankings.
