ICC World T20 2014 statistical review

 

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:

Total	Inns	Team	Opp	Venue	Date	Result
196/5 (20.0)	1	South Africa	England	Chittagong	29-Mar-14	Won
193/4 (13.5)	2	Netherlands	Ireland	Sylhet	21-Mar-14	Won
193/7 (20.0)	2	England	South Africa	Chittagong	29-Mar-14	Lost
191/5 (20.0)	1	Pakistan	Australia	Dhaka	23-Mar-14	Won
190/4 (19.2)	2	England	Sri Lanka	Chittagong	27-Mar-14	Won
190/5 (20.0)	1	Pakistan	Bangladesh	Dhaka	30-Mar-14	Won

 

The tournament saw 8 teams dismissed for less than 100 runs which are the most among all the World T20 tournaments. The lowest total ever in T20Is – 39 by Netherlands vs Sri Lanka – also occurred in this tournament.

 

 

Below is the table listing all the totals of 100 or less in the tournament

Total	Inns	Team	Opp	Venue	Date
72	1	Afghanistan	Bangladesh	Dhaka	16-Mar-14
69	2	Hong Kong	Nepal	Chittagong	16-Mar-14
39	1	Netherlands	Sri Lanka	Chittagong	24-Mar-14
98	2	Banglasesh	West Indies	Dhaka	25-Mar-14
86	2	Australia	India	Dhaka	30-Mar-14
88	2	England	Netherlands	Chittagong	31-Mar-14
60	2	New Zealand	Sri Lanka	Chittagong	31-Mar-14
82	2	Pakistan	West Indies	Dhaka	01-Apr-14

 

 

• 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.
