Top 5 most runs scored by a team in power play in T20Is
1. 91 – Netherlands v Ireland, World T20 2014
The World T20 2014 qualifying round match between the Netherlands and Ireland is remembered as one of the best T20I matches of all time. Ireland had batted first and scored 189/4, a total that is formidable to chase in 20 overs. But Netherlands had to make this total in 14.2 overs in order to knock Ireland and Zimbabwe out of the qualifying and qualify themselves.
What followed was pure mayhem in the first 6 overs when Dutch openers Stephen Myburgh and Peter Borren went ballistic on the Irish bowling. The Dutch raced to 91/1 in 6 overs with Myburgh on 63 off 23 balls and Borren making 31 off 15. Eventually, Netherlands made 193 in just 13.5 overs with Wesley Barresi (40) and Tom Cooper (45 off 15) made sure that they qualified for the main round.
