Top 10 Highest team totals in World T20

6. West Indies – 205/6 v South Africa:

The opening encounter of the first ever World T20 lived upto the hype at the Bullring on 11th September 2007 after the Windies scored 205/6 in the first innings. Chris Gayle’s stunning century – the then highest score in Twenty20 game, surpassing Ricky Ponting’s 98 – went in vain as a dazzling 90 from Herschelle Gibbs, helped by some wretched bowling and fielding, piloted South Africa home with 14 balls remaining, the highest score chased down in 20 internationals. West Indies dropped three catches and bowled a staggering 23 wides in a slipshod display epitomised by Dwayne Smith’s two overs for 37 runs.
