Top 10 highest team totals in T20s

Before the latest evolution of Cricket, scoring a total close to 300 seemed like a safe bet to win in the 50-over format. As the T20 format gained popularity after the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, players have changed their style of batting and have made totals of over 200 achievable with ease (in twenty overs).

With the invention of unorthodox shots such as the ‘reverse hit’ and the ‘Dilscoop’, batsmen have been able to get the better of the bowlers and have been scoring at unbelievable run rates.

Here is a list of the highest totals ever registered by teams in T20 format, including both domestic and International matches.
