ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Top 3 Lowest Team Scores in the ICC T20 World Cup History

The ICC T20 World Cup is among the most eagerly anticipated events on the cricketing calendar, starting from 7th February 2026, where teams from across the globe arrive with the same objective—to perform at their absolute best on the biggest stage. In a format where teams push relentlessly to maximise runs within just 20 overs, the fine line between aggression and collapse is always present.

On occasions, the pursuit of quick runs backfires, leading to dramatic batting failures and unexpectedly low totals. In this article, we take a look at the top three lowest team totals ever recorded in the history of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

1. 39/10 (Uganda) vs West Indies- 2024 T20 World Cup

The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup witnessed a historic low when the Uganda national cricket team were bowled out for just 39 runs against the West Indies national cricket team at Providence. Uganda never settled at the crease as the West Indies bowlers struck relentlessly from the start.

The collapse was headlined by Akeal Hosein, who produced a devastating spell to finish as the leading wicket-taker with five wickets, completely dismantling the batting order and sealing one of the most one-sided matches in T20 World Cup history.
