Highest Team Scores in T20 World Cup (2007 - 2026)

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has always been a tournament where batting limits of all the teams are pushed and scoreboards are rewritten in a matter of minutes.

Since the inaugural of the game, teams have treated the 20-over format as a stage for fearless strokeplay, tactical innovation, and calculated risk. The highest team totals in T20 World Cup history are not just big numbers as they reflect changing strategies, improved power-hitting skills, flatter pitches, and the growing depth of batting line-ups across international cricket.

The benchmark was set early when Sri Lanka's cricket team smashed 260/6 against Kenya in 2007, which is a score that redefined what fans believed was possible in a T20 international.

Nearly two decades later, that record still stands as a symbol of how far ahead of its time that innings was. Yet the chase to approach or surpass such totals has never slowed. 

What makes these top scores especially meaningful is the context behind them. Many came against competitive bowling attacks on global stages, often under tournament pressure where net run rate and momentum matter as much as wins.
