England Score Highest T20I Total Against South Africa, Full List Of Highest T20I Scored by Teams
England’s 304/2 vs South Africa is now the highest T20I total by a full member team. Here are the top five highest T20I scores.
Runs flow freely in T20 cricket, but when full member nations of the ICC take the field, the quality of batting and bowling often makes huge totals rare.
Still, some teams have managed to cross remarkable scores. Here are the top five highest totals by full member teams in T20 Internationals.
1. England – 304/2 vs South Africa, 2025
England became only the second full member nation to cross the 300 mark in T20Is. At Manchester on 12 September 2025, Phil Salt smashed 141 from 60 balls while Jos Buttler blasted 83 off 30. Their 304 for 2 is now the highest total by a full member team in T20Is.
2. India – 297/6 vs Bangladesh, 2024
In December 2024 at Hyderabad, India racked up 297 for 6 against Bangladesh. It was a run-fest where India’s batting line-up went all guns blazing, powering them past the previous record mark.
3. India – 283/1 vs South Africa, 2024
Earlier in 2024, India piled up 283 for 1 at Johannesburg against South Africa. Tilak Varma (120*) and Sanju Samson (109*) tore into the Proteas attack with a breathtaking partnership, leaving the bowlers helpless.
4. Afghanistan – 278/3 vs Ireland, 2019
Hazratullah Zazai played one of the greatest T20I innings, scoring 162 not out from 62 balls in Dehradun. His knock carried Afghanistan to 278 for 3, a record that stood for years.
5. England – 267/3 vs West Indies, 2023
England once again feature with 267 for 3 against West Indies in 2023. It was another display of power hitting, as their top order destroyed the Caribbean attack to post one of the biggest totals in T20I history.
