What is the highest team score in T20 World Cup?
India showed its batting prowess against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2026 final on Sunday. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan struck blazing half centuries at the top of the order.
The side had 204 runs on the board by the end of the 16th over, and was on course to breaking the record for the highest team total in the biennial playing.
Sri Lanka holds the record for the highest score in T20 World Cups. It had posted 260 runs against Kenya in the inaugural edition.
India had come close to breaking this record in the Super Eight stage, but fell agonisingly short at 256 runs. Suryakumar Yadav’s side had another shot at breaking the record in the semifinal against England but settled for 253.
