Top 10 teams with most wins in T20I cricket

Only seven teams have won more than 100 matches in T20I cricket.

T20I cricket is a totally different format as compared to tests and ODIs. It became official in 2005, and since then, it has become the most popular format among fans. Initially, it was played once in a while, but now it has become regular. Teams prefer to play T20Is more because the World Cup is played once every two years.

There are a total of 108 teams across the globe who play in this format. But, which team is at the top with the most wins? In fact, there are only seven teams who have won more than 100 matches in T20I cricket. In this article, we will talk about the top ten teams with the most wins in T20I cricket.

Top 10 teams with most wins in T20I cricket:

10. Uganda – 90 wins:

Despite making their T20I debut in 2019, Uganda have won more matches than Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Ireland. They even participated in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. They have played a total of 118 matches and won 90 out of those. They lost 25 matches while their three matches couldn’t produce any result.

9. Afghanistan – 94 wins:

Afghanistan played their first T20I game in February 2010 against Ireland and have been an active team who play in the T20 World Cups as well. Afghanistan have won 94 matches out of 156 they’ve played. They’ve also lost 59 games, tied two games and one game ended without any result. Afghanistan have a W/L ratio of 1.576, which is the third-best among the top ten.

8. Sri Lanka – 98 wins:

Sri Lanka also have a pretty decent record in T20I cricket. They made their debut in this format in June 2006 against England and were a pretty strong team in their initial years. They also won the 2014 T20 World Cup, beating India in the final. They also won the Asia Cup in 2022 in T20I format. Sri Lanka have so far played 220 games and won 98 out of those. They faced defeat in 114 games, while six ended in a tie, and two ended without a result.

7. West Indies – 100 wins:

West Indies are among only three teams who have won the T20 World Cup twice in history. The Caribbean team played their first T20I match in February 2006 against New Zealand and have been playing since then. They won the T20 World Cup in 2012 and 2016 under Daren Sammy’s leadership. West Indies have so far played 239 matches, including 100 wins and 124 defeats. Three of their matches ended up in a tie, and 12 matches ended without a result.

6. England – 112 wins:

England were the nation that introduced the game of cricket to the world. But their first official T20I game was in June 2005 against Australia. England won the T20 World Cup twice, in 2010 and 2022, and are a pretty strong team. They have played 214 games so far and won 112 of those.

5. South Africa – 113 wins:

South Africa have been a pretty impressive team in this format. The Proteas have not won any titles, but their record is far better than that of some world champions. South Africa played their first match in T20I format in October 2005 against New Zealand.

Until now, they have played 210 matches and won 113, with 93 defeats. One game ended in a tie and three without any result. Their best performance in any ICC T20 World Cup came in 2024, where they ended tournament as the runners-up.

4. Australia – 122 wins:

Australia were the team that played the first ever official T20I match in 2005. But, as compared to the other two formats, Australia didn’t have the stats that they would have liked in T20I cricket. They won their maiden T20 World Cup title in 2021 in the UAE. So far, Australia have played 219 matches, winning 122 and losing 87 of them. Three of their matches ended in a tie and seven without a result.

3. New Zealand – 126 wins:

New Zealand, along with Australia, were the teams who played the first ever official T20I game in 2005. The Black Caps have been unfortunate that they haven’t won any ICC titles in this format. But their overall record is pretty impressive. They became the third team to win over 100 T20Is and play more than 200 matches. New Zealand have so far played 246 games, winning 126 and losing 99; 10 of their matches have ended in ties and 11 with no result.

2. Pakistan – 165 wins:

Pakistan have been one of the best teams in the shortest format. In fact, they were the first team to win more than 100 matches in T20I cricket. The Men in Green won the 2009 T20 World Cup and ended as runners-up in the 2007 and 2022 editions. They have played a total of 287 matches and won 165, lost 111, with four tied and seven no results overall.

1. India – 172 wins:

Team India made history when they won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and showed that they are one of the best teams in this format of the game. India are also one of the three teams to have won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup twice, with the other two being the West Indies and England. India have won most matches in the shortest format and will be looking to strengthen their lead over the other teams.

The two-time T20 World Champions have played 258 matches and won 172 games with an exceptional W/L ratio over 2.3, which is the highest for a test-playing nation. They have also lost 72 games; seven matches ended in ties and seven without any result.
