Highest Team Score in T20I Cricket

T20 International cricket is no longer just a game of 'smart hitting', but has become a complete display of aggressive batting and dominance. There was a time when a score of 200 runs was considered safe, but now teams have changed the definition of this format by crossing the magical limit of 300 runs.
