List of Twenty20 International records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rohit Sharma (left) and Tim Southee are the highest run-scorer and wicket-taker in T20Is respectively.

A Twenty20 International (T20I) is a form of Twenty20 cricket in which each team plays a single innings with a maximum of twenty overs. The matches are played between international teams recognized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The first T20I was played on 17 February 2005 between Australia and New Zealand, with the first ICC T20 World Cup held in 2007. As of October 2024, 95 nations feature in T20I team rankings released by ICC.[1] The article lists the various records for men's T20Is.[2]

Listing notation

[edit]

Team notation

  • (100/3) indicates that a team scored 100 runs for three wickets and the innings was closed, either due to a successful run chase or if no overs remained (or are able) to be bowled.
  • (100) indicates that a team scored 100 runs and was all out, either by losing all ten wickets or by having one or more batsmen unable to bat and losing the remaining wickets.

Batting notation

  • (100*) indicates a batsman scored 100 runs and was not out.
  • (75) indicates that a batsman scored 75 runs and was out after that.

Bowling notation

  • (5/40) indicates that a bowler has captured 5 wickets while giving away 40 runs.
  • (19.5 overs) indicates that a team bowled 19 complete overs (each of six legal deliveries), and one incomplete over of just five deliveries.

  1. ^ a b c Cricinfo lists Buttler as having made one catch as a fielder whilst being the designated keeper,[84] whilst their description of the catch says he was the wicket-keeper at the time.[85] The wicket-keeping totals (both catches and total dismissals) do not include this dismissal and if this catch is counted towards his wicket-keeping total it gives him a total of 68 catches and 81 dismissals, which matches other sources.[86][87][88]
