Top 5 highest team totals in ICC Champions Trophy history

The first edition of the ICC Champions Trophy was played in 1998.

The ICC Champions Trophy is widely considered one of the toughest ICC tournaments. Unlike the World Cups, where teams have time to recover from defeats, the Champions Trophy is a competition where a single loss can lead to elimination.

Over the years, the tournament has faced criticism from a few fans. While some enjoy the thrill of the competition, others argue that it undermines the value of a 50-over World Cup. After an eight-year break, the Champions Trophy returned in 2025 and was played across Pakistan and Dubai.

Top five highest team totals in ICC Champions Trophy history:

5. India – 331/7 vs South Africa, 2013 Cardiff

South Africa were on the receiving end against India when the Men In Blue posted a massive total of 331 at Cardiff in 2023.

Batting first, the top-order pair of Rohit Sharma (65) and Shikhar Dhawan (114) laid the foundation for a big total. Ravindra Jadeja later applied finishing touch, scoring 47 off 29 balls.

India ultimately won the game by 26 runs and Shikhar Dhawan was named Player of the Match.

4. Pakistan – 338/4 vs India, 2017, The Oval

However, the bowlers couldn’t defend this score as Josh Inglis blew them away.
