With the risk-taking nature of T20I games, it’s quite apparent for teams to lose wickets during a game here and there.
Thus, it’s a rare phenomenon to witness teams winning matches by 10-wicket margins. Moreover, winning a T20I match without losing a single wicket depicts the winning team’s dominance throughout the game.
A handful of teams have come out victorious in such a dominating way quite several times. On that note, let’s look at the teams with the most 10-wicket wins in T20I cricket. (You can find the same stats for Tests here.)
