Top 10 teams with most maidens in T20Is

3. Sri Lanka- 23:

The Islanders have played 79 matches and registered 23 maiden overs. The team has conceded a total of 10648 runs and taken 463 wickets. Their best individual bowling figures in the innings are 6/8. Cricket began to develop in Sri Lanka once the process of British colonisation was completed in the early 1800s. The earliest reference to the game in Sri Lanka was reported in the ‘Colombo Journal’ on 5 September 1832 which was when the formation of a cricket club was recorded. The Colombo cricket club was formed soon after in November 1832 and played its first cricket match against the 97th British Regiment. Although the domestic first-class system was set up in 1937-38 it was not until 1981 that Sri Lanka became the eighth Test-playing country (playing its inaugural Test the following year in Colombo against England).
