The Sri Lankans hold the record for registering the biggest margin of victory in the history of the T20 World Cup. The Asian Lions scripted a 172-run victory against Kenya in 2007 after smashing 260/6 in 20 overs.

The Proteas are at the second spot, with a 130-run victory margin over Scotland in the 2009 T20 World Cup. In 2021, Afghanistan levelled with the South Africans by registering a 130-run win over Scotland in Sharjah.

Defending champions England are at the third spot. The two-time world champions scripted a 116-run victory against Afghanistan in the 2012 edition in Sri Lanka.

The South Africans once again appear in the top five, thanks to their 104-run victory over Bangladesh in Sydney during the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

The fifth spot goes to the Men in Blue, who scripted a 90-run win over England in the 2012 T20 World Cup.
