T20I matches are often played with much fierceness, resulting in close and edge-of-the-seat thrillers. However, on the flip side, we have also witnessed some matches where one team had a larger say throughout the game.
Such teams performed as units across departments and handed their opponents crushing defeats. Among those, losing a T20I match by 10 wickets is quite demoralising for any team.
Watching the opponent run away with the chase without taking a wicket isn’t a sight that any team will cherish. However, a few teams have endured these heavy losses multiple times.
Here are the top 10 teams with the most 10-wicket losses in T20I cricket.
