Top 10 Teams with Most Fours in T20 Internationals

Top 10 Teams with Most Fours in T20 Internationals: T20 is not just the game, but a party happening inside a cricket stadium. Everyone is hurrying around, high on adrenaline trying to be at their best every moment. The batsmen dance down the wicket, the bowlers make a few of them dance, to their tunes as well, the fielders run around to grab the ball north and south and the umpires are always on their toes hopping around. We witness galore of boundaries in almost every T20I. But since the game itself is all about numbers, this article, is an attempt to emphasize upon the fact that how well a team has managed to cope up with the format, here we present a comparison of the gross number of fours hit by International teams in T20 Cricket. Let us dig deep into Top 10 Teams with Most Fours in T20 Internationals: 10. Zimbabwe – 536 Fours: Zimbabwe.

Also, they have experienced pretty little amount of exposure to this format and have played only 48 matches to get those 536 fours into their name. Having only a few players who can dominate the bowlers has worked against their favor in the format as well. 9. Bangladesh – 595 Fours: Bangladesh.

Also, Bangladesh is a fast emerging side and they seem to grasp well with the format and proceedings of the revolution of International Cricket as a whole and are soon to make broader impacts in the shortest format of the game. 8. India – 766 Fours: India. (© Getty Images) Surprisingly, India comes in the lower half of this chart. This is not because of inconsistency or lack of form in the team but due to the fact that Indian team has managed to play a total of only 61 International T20s till date. India was crowned the champions of the ICC World T20 in 2007. Since then, their performances in international T20 seems to have somewhat gloomed away. Also, it is a fact that India has played relatively lesser number of bilateral T20 tournaments as compared to the other teams 7. West Indies – 800 Fours: West Indies. (© Getty Images) The Caribbean side has been regarded as one of the most lethal line ups on paper with the possession of bombarding T20 talents in the likes of Kieron Pollard, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith and others. But as a unit, the West Indian team did not manage to click much in the game except in the 2012 World T20 when they were crowned as the champions. In their 71 international T20 matches, the West Indians have managed to hit 398 sixes apart from 800 fours which also portrays a fact that they depend upon hard hitting for their scoreboard to tick on. 6. Australia – 949 Fours: Australia.

They have played reasonably well but success did not shower upon them as much as it has in the other formats. The Aussies have possessed some talented pros in the likes of Gilchrist, Watson, Steve Smith, Brad Hodge and others have poised them at this position after playing 81 T20 games. 5. Sri Lanka – 972 Fours: Sri Lanka. (Photo Source: ICC) The present T20 champions have been quite consistent when it comes to T20 cricket. They have performed decently well in almost all the editions of ICC World T20. Also having some great batsmen in the likes of Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and others has helped them reach to 972 fours in T20Is from 74 games. If their players are exposed to further action in the format, they are sure to strike further in the format. 4. South Africa – 1000 Fours: South Africa.

Possessing the brilliant talents of the game in the likes of AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, David Miller, Faf du Plessis have fired well for South Africa in the T20 format as a unit. Having said that, they are yet to remove the chokers tag in this format as well. And are yet to win a major T20 tournament till date. 3. New Zealand – 1020 Fours: New Zealand.

But their present team is capable of amplifying this number to a considerable extent in near future. They possess a bunch of fresh talents in their line up led by the apt aggression of Brendon McCullum, who himself believes in scoring runs with the help of the big boundary shots. 2. England – 1022 Fours: England. (© Getty Images) The English team makes up second in the list. The World Champions from the 2010 World T20 have seen quite a few masterpieces in the game in the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan and others. English side has always maintained a steady line up in this format for international cricket due to their mammoth availability of resources at the domestic level. The side has played as many as 79 matches so far in the history of International T20s. 1. Pakistan – 1162 Fours: Pakistan. (© Getty Images) Well, as a matter of fact, Pakistan has been perhaps one of the most consistent sides when it comes to international T20s. They have managed to qualify in the final fours of all the ICC World T20s, save the one held in Bangladesh, 2014. Also, they are the team to play the most number of T20 matches with 98 matches and with the possession of sheer aggressive players in the likes of Shahid Afridi, Umar Akmal, Mohammad Hafeez and others, Pakistan has managed to top the chart.
