2. New Zealand – 11 T20I Centuries

Now this is quite surprising not only for you but me as well, as New Zealand ranks on 2nd place in the list most centuries in t20 international cricket by team not because they are not capable of doing it, because they have literally outranked teams like West Indies, and Australia who has pretty good fire power.

Moreover New Zealand team is something which didn’t get enough support and admiration for their performance and I personally believes that their did team does not have some big player who has fan following in masses except Kane Williamson obviously.

New Zealand has  always sticked with 3 or 4 players in their t20 squad who can play longer and destructive knocks. Earlier it was Brendon McCullum, Guptill, and Munro whereas at present Glenn Phillips, and Latham who are handling this job pretty well.

3. South Africa – 8 T20I Centuries

Movin ahead to our third team with most centuries in international cricket by team, South Africa which was considered as one of the strongest team in all three formats before 3-4 years.

As the main players like ABD and Faf retired the dominance of South Africa has been decreased relatively. Still Decock, David Miller and Heinrich Klassen are filling the spot of their former legendary players.

Moreover, these are some proteas who hit most t20 centuries for South Africa:

• David Miller : He becomes something else the day when the conditions suits him, like he shows no mercy to the bowlers whenever someone tries to bowl in his zone. Miller has made 2 hundreds, which considers as the most number of t20i hundreds for South Africa.
• Rilee Rossouw : Another lefty batter, Rilee Rossouw who recently made a t20 century against India also stands along with David Miller when it comes to centuries.

 

4. Australia – 7 T20I Centuries

Well, the team which you might be looking for from start of this list is finally here. When we hear the word “t20 cricket” there are very few names which immediately comes in our mind and one of that name is Glenn Maxwell who is known for his fearless batting display.

Australia always have high expectations from Maxwell as he runs the scoreboard very quickly and score runs in crucial situations as well. These are some Aussies who have most t20 centuries for Australia:

• Glenn Maxwell : Maxi has total 3-hundreds in t20 international cricket, that too with his risky shot selection.
• Aaron Finch : Power hitter of Aussies, Finch also felt the feeling of scoring hundreds 2 times in his t20 career.

Can you imagine that West Indies featuring on 5th rank in terms of most centuries in t20 international cricket by team? I mean, majority of cricket fans knows West Indies as best t20i team because of the unnumbered destructive batsmans they has.

However out of 6 t20 international centuries which West Indies made, 4 came only by Chris Gayle and Even Lewis. It’s hard to digest the fact that no other batter came up with hundred than these two opener.
