The fifth edition of ICC World T20 in Bangladesh was a delight for the Cricket Statisticians. Bharath Seervi compiles the statistics of batting, bowling, power play, death overs, over-wise, team totals and lot more of the tournament that concluded on April 6th with Sri Lanka being the champions.

 

 

Team Totals:

 

The mark of 200 runs by a team in World T20 has been achieved 7 times — 5 of those in the first edition in South Africa, 1 each in 2009 and 2012. But this edition couldn’t mark any such instance like the one in 2010.

 

There were 3 matches where teams scored 190+ while chasing but the highest any of those could reach was 196 for 5 and it was South Africa vs England in the first inning.

 

Below is the table listing all the totals of over 190 in the tournament:

  • It goes without saying that all the totals resulted in team’s loss.

 

  • The lowest total defended was 119 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in the must win game for both teams to reach the semis.

 

  • Sri Lanka and West Indies are the only teams to dismiss two oppositions for less than 100 in the tournament.
