Known for its fast-paced action, T20 cricket is primarily dominated by batsmen, resulting in high-scoring matches filled with thrilling sixes and boundaries.

Till October 23, Nepal held the record for the highest team score in T20 history, amassing an incredible 314 runs against Mongolia during the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

However, on Wednesday, Zimbabwe posted 344 runs for 4 wickets in 20 overs against Nepal in a T20 World Cup sub-regional qualifying game.

On November 24, 2024, Nigeria posted 271 runs on board against Ivory Coast in a T20I and then bowled them out for just 7 runs, winning the match by a huge margin of 264 runs.
