There was a time when 160-170 totals were considered good enough to challenge the opponent in the T20 World Cup. However, those days are well past us, as batters exploit the batting-friendly conditions to the fullest.
Thus, teams need to push their run-scoring capabilities to another level. And nowadays, we are seeing a surge in teams pushing their totals above 200 runs in the global T20 tournament.
On that note, let’s look at the teams with the most 200+ totals in T20 World Cup history.

260 runs posted by Sri Lanka is the highest score by a team in the T20 World Cup. They attained the feat against Kenya in the 2007 iteration.
229 runs scored by South Africa is the highest total in a losing cause in the global T20 competition. In a 2016 match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, England chased down South Africa’s 230-run target, making it the highest successful run chase in the tournament’s history.
England is the only team to score 200 or more runs while chasing a target in two or more matches.
