T20I cricket often sees an even contest between teams, especially with the bat. So, there’s always a high-scoring game on the cards.
But we have also seen some lopsided matches where the other team didn’t really turn up with the bat. Their batting lineup crumbled under pressure while chasing big targets. And in return, the bowling side registered some of the biggest wins.
A few teams have made a habit of keeping their opponent batters quiet, registering wins by 100-plus run margins more often. And we’ll see those teams with the most 100-plus run margin wins in T20Is below.
