Top 10 teams with most 200 plus scores in T20Is

Top 10 teams with most 200 plus scores in T20Is: T20 is a very exciting form of cricket which has created the storm in world cricket. It is explosive and keeps the general audience hooked to the televisions. Cricket became more marketable and widespread because of the T20 format which is eventually helping the game to become popular on the world map. Cricket graduated to a very different level and touched sky heights ever since Australia and New Zealand played the first T20I back in the year 2005. Aggressive and merciless batting is the most conventional feature of T20 cricket. On most occasions, batsmen have butchered the bowlers and have helped their teams post mammoth and sometimes unbelievable totals on the scoreboard. So, below is the list of Top 10 teams with most 200 plus scores in T20Is: 10. Ireland – 1: Ireland.

They seldom play T20 fixtures but have most of the limited opportunities they have got so far. The Irish men have surpassed the score of 200 runs only one time. They smashed 225-7 against Afghanistan at Abu Dhabi in the World T20 Qualifiers 2014. Also Read – Top 10 Teams with most wins in T20Is 9. Pakistan – 2: Pakistan.

It would be insensible to say that Pakistan has no stout-hearted batsmen in their team. But, evidently, they lack team coordination and consistency. They managed this feat only once till now and that too against Bangladesh way back in the year 2008. 8. Afghanistan – 2: Afghanistan.

However, they seem to improve their standards very quickly and have taken rapid strides in International cricket in the past few years. They have evolved drastically and have emerged a tough, challenging team to get the past, especially in the shortest form cricket. In terms of becoming a superior cricket playing nation, they still have a long way to go. They have posted a score exceeding 200 runs twice. Once against Scotland in 2015 and then against Zimbabwe in January 2016. 7. New Zealand – 4: New Zealand. (© Getty Images) The Blackcaps do not lag behind very far from other teams. Their team also boasts of explosive batsmen who have the ability to blaze their team towards mammoth totals. The likes of Martin Guptill, Brendan Mccullum amongst other high- voltage batsmen in the team can make the bowlers eye pop out in disbelief with their batting prowess. New Zealand has managed to achieve this feat 4 times so far. 6. India – 5: India.

To be precise, India has never had the fortune for having out and out aggressive batsmen except a few. However, India has fared well most of the times in the shortest format despite not having players of the calibre of AB de Villiers or Warner. Match winners like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni make sure that the team posts a huge total on the scoreboard. India have posted 200 plus scores 5 times. 5. Sri Lanka – 5: Sri Lanka. (© Getty Images) Sri Lanka is the reigning champions in this format. They have an outstanding bowling attack bolstered by unorthodox bowlers. Also, experienced heads like Kumara Sangakkara, Jayawardene (both now retired) and Dilshan along with young guns like Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, and Angelo Matthews form the core of their batting line-up. This resolute team has posted 200 plus scores five times so far. Sri Lanka also holds the record of second-highest team total post by a team in T20. It was a humongous 260-6 versus Kenya. 4. West Indies – 6: West Indies. (© Getty Images) As far as the Tests and ODIs are concerned, West Indies cricket has faded over the year. But the birth of T20 brought a fresh breeze of hope for the West Indians. T20 format has eventually giving birth to some of the biggest T20 superstars. Names like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Dwayne Smith, Sunil Narine and Lendl Simmons have lit up the stadiums around the world with their explosive batting, bowling and fielding. Therefore, it is not surprising that they have raced past the total of 200 runs 6 times overall. 3. England – 6: England. (© Getty Images) It was in England where the idea of T20 cricket took birth.
