In T20I matches, a 50+ score is considered a good knock for batsmen and a 200+ team total is considered a massive one. Whenever the batting team crosses 200+ total on the scoreboard, the opposition team often comes under pressure. Often when a team scores more than 200+ runs, there are one or more than one players who smash 50+ scores.

Sometimes, the 200+ team totals also observe a batsman hitting a century. In the history of T20I cricket, there have been many instances when a team scored more than 200 runs in an innings and few batsmen smashed 50+ scores.

Putting 200+ plus runs on the scoreboard also enables the batting team to put mental pressure on the fielding team. Chasing a 200+ target in a T20I match is a difficult task since the team has a required rate of more than 10 since the start of its batting innings. However, there are still some teams who have managed to chase a 200+ target while batting second.

Whenever a team scores more than 200 runs in a T20I game, there is always at least one batsman who smashes a spectacular knock in the match. In this listicle, we take a look at 4 batsmen with the most 50+ scores in T20Is where the team scored 200+ total.

New Zealand once scored 243/5 against West Indies in a T20I match in January 2018, and the 34-year-old Munro smashed 104 runs in the match.

During New Zealand vs Australia match in February 2018, Munro’s 76-run knock took New Zealand to 243/6 while batting first. During New Zealand vs India’s T20I game in February 2019, Munro accounted for 72 runs in New Zealand’s total of 212/4. New Zealand once also scored 203/5 against India in January 2020, with opener Colin Munro scoring 59 but in a losing cause.
