Top 10 teams with most 200+ totals in T20I cricket

T20 cricket has transformed the game, bringing a new level of excitement and attracting countless new fans. Its fast-paced nature and constant action keep viewers glued to their screens. The format has also played a huge role in making cricket more commercial and popular, helping the sport reach audiences across the globe.

In modern T20 cricket, scoring over 200 runs has become almost routine. In contrast, a 200-plus total in ODI cricket was once considered a match-winning score. However, with flatter pitches and smaller boundaries, T20 matches now regularly feature teams posting or chasing down totals of 200 runs or more. Let’s take a look at the teams that have recorded the most 200+ totals in T20 internationals.

Here are the top 10 teams with most 200+ totals in T20I cricket

10. Austria – 12 times

Austria made their T20 International debut in 2019 and have since become known for their strong batting performances. They’ve posted 200 or more runs in an innings 12 times — and impressively, they’ve never lost a match after reaching that mark. Their highest T20I total is 245/7, scored against Luxembourg in July 2025.

9. Zimbabwe – 13 times

Zimbabwe have scored over 200 runs in a T20 International match 13 times. Impressively, they’ve won 11 of those games and lost only two. They also hold the record for the highest-ever team total in T20I history — a massive 344/4 against Gambia in Nairobi in October 2024.
