T20 cricket, as we all know, is a batsman’s game, and although the balance between the bat and ball makes this game all the more beautiful, it is the runs scored off the bat that draw a lot of audience to the game. High-scoring games consisting of a high proportion of fours and sixes are the ones that provide wholesome entertainment to the crowd.
Though it is not pleasing if you are a bowler, that’s how a T20 fixture works, and this also brings a wicket-taking element to it. Durban-based SA20 side Super Giants holds the record for the highest team total, and this article will show the top 10 highest team totals posted in the short history of SA20.
