Lowest Defended Score in ICC T20 World Cup

Over the last eight ICC T20 World Cup events, there has been only a solitary occasion of a team defending a total of less than 120 runs. Sri Lanka accomplished that feat in the 2014 edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in a group stage match against the New Zealand cricket team.

After Sri Lanka, Asian Giant Killers Afghanistan hold the record for defending the lowest total in the tournament's history. The Afghanistanis defended 123 against eventual world champions in 2016.

New Zealand holds the record for defending the third-lowest total. The Kiwis defended 126 against India in Nagpur in 2016. South Africa hold the fourth and fifth by virtue of defending 128 and 130 against New Zealand and India respectively in 2009.
