The T20 Asia Cup has witnessed some spectacular batting performances, but it has also produced games where teams struggled to get going. The lowest ever total in the tournament belongs to Hong Kong, who were bowled out for just 38 runs in 10.4 overs against Pakistan in Sharjah on September 2, 2022. Pakistan’s bowlers were relentless that day and Hong Kong never got a chance to settle while chasing 193.

The United Arab Emirates had a particularly tough campaign in 2016, recording two of the lowest scores in Asia Cup history. They managed only 81 for 9 in their 20 overs against India in Mirpur on March 3, 2016, and just days earlier they were bowled out for 82 in 17.4 overs against Bangladesh on February 26. Both matches ended in heavy defeats for the team.

Even one of Asia’s strongest sides, Pakistan, has found itself on the wrong side of history. On February 27, 2016, they were dismissed for only 83 runs in 17.3 overs against arch-rivals India in Mirpur, where India’s disciplined bowling exposed Pakistan’s batting order in a crucial clash.

Oman, one of the emerging cricketing nations, also appears on this list after scoring only 101 for 8 in their full 20 overs against the UAE in Mirpur on February 22, 2016, eventually losing the match.
