Top 10 Highest successful run chases in T20 Internationals

7. India – 200/3 vs Australia, Sydney, 2016                

No team had chased a total of over 190 in Australia in any T20 Internationals. India came into the dead rubber T20I at Sydney Cricket Ground looking to win the series 3-0 and Australia came into the match to save some pride.

Well, their stand-in captain Shane Watson made sure some pride was salvaged when he hit 124* off 71 balls with 6 sixes and 10 fours. This is the highest score by a captain in T20I and Watson became the only Australian to hit centuries all formats of international cricket. Australia made 197/5 in their 20 overs.

India had to chase a record score on Aussie turf and Shikhar Dhawan (24 off 9) and Rohit Sharma (52) gave India the flying start they needed. Virat Kohli continued his love story in Australia, by scoring his 3^rd consecutive 50 in the series. But the job was not done and at the crease were Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh.

While Raina scored the runs freely, Yuvraj showed the signs of rust in his batting and had scored just 2 runs in 7 balls. India needed 17 runs off the last over and Yuvraj Singh hit the first ball for a four and followed it up with a magnificent six on the leg side to make sure India stays in the game.

Raina ensured that India won the match and the series by hitting the last ball for a boundary, finishing on 49*off 25 balls. India became the first team to whitewash Australia in any format of international cricket in 140 years.

Shane Watson got the Man of the match for his brilliant 124*.
