Highest Margin of Win at T20 World Cups
MARGIN (Runs) | TEAM | OPPONENT | VENUE | YEAR |
172 | Sri Lanka | Kenya | Johannesburg | 2007 |
134 | West Indies | Uganda | Guyana | 2024 |
130 | Afghanistan | Scotland | Sharjah | 2021 |
130 | South Africa | Scotland | London | 2009 |
125 | Afghanistan | Uganda | Guyana | 2024 |
In fact, West Indies also registered their highest margin of victory in all T20Is, bettering their 84-run win over Pakistan in Mirpur at the 2014 World Cup.
West Indies, making use of the familiarity with the home conditions and vital contributions from their batters, especially Johnson Charles (44) and Andre Russell (30 not out), put up an impressive 173 for five on the board.
Brian Masaba was the most successful Ugandan bowler, taking two wickets for 31 runs.
In reply, Uganda could only make 39 runs in 12 overs, with Akeal making it a completely one-sided contest for the two-time T20 world champions, ripping apart the rival top and middle-order.
The Windies were forced to work a lot harder than they would have expected to get past Papua New Guinea in their opening match at the same venue almost a week earlier. The two-time former champions roared back to show their form ahead of tougher matches against New Zealand in Trinidad and Afghanistan in St Lucia.
Uganda, on the other hand, came into the game on the back of a historic low-scoring triumph over PNG – their first win in their global tournament debut – which came after a hammering from the Afghans.
