Sri Lanka have left behind their glorious past and have struggled to produce quality players in the last few years. Since the likes of Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, and Tillakaratne Dilshan announced their retirement, the Lankans have failed to find their replacement which, in turn, have hurt them across formats.

The Islanders have only managed to secure 14 series wins in the T20I format. As a result, they find themselves in the eighth spot in the list of top ten teams with most bilateral series wins in T20Is. Sri Lanka will have to revive their past and buckle up to catch up with the world-class teams.

West Indies are a dynamic side when it comes to T20I cricket.

Australia have managed to win only 20 bilateral series since the inception of the shortest format of the game in 2007. The 2010 finalists will have the task of improving their record when they resume playing T20 cricket.

5. New Zealand – 21
