Bangladesh have defended the lowest total in T20 World Cup history. They managed to defend 106-all out against Nepal. Bangladesh wrapped up Nepal’s innings to 85 runs in Kingstown.
Kingstown has also proved to be difficult chasing ground as it has recorded three instances of below 130 run defenses. Chattogram (Bangladesh), Nagpur (India), Bridgetown (West Indies), and New York (USA) have two instances each.
It was also in 2024 when the T20 World Cup held in the West Indies and the USA witnessed the highest number of entrants from that year – five.
Bangladesh, Nepal, India, and New Zealand have failed to chase targets below 130 twice each.
