Sri Lanka T20 Cricket Team

ICC Cricket World Cup ICC World Twenty20
1996 2014
Sri Lanka's most significant achievement in T20Is happened when they won the T20 World Cup in 2014. They defeated India in the final in Dhaka to clinch their first T20 World Cup title. This victory ended an agonising wait as they had finished runners-up in 2009 and 2012.

Most Runs: Tillakaratne Dilshan is one of Sri Lanka's leading run-scorers in T20Is. He was the first Sri Lankan to cross 1,000 runs in this format, and his innovative 'Dilscoop' shot was emulated by many other batters around the world.

Most Wickets: Wanindu Hasaranga has emerged as one of the top allrounders in T20Is. His leg-spin bowling and ability to contribute crucial runs have made him a valuable player for Sri Lanka. He was also a key player in the 2021 T20 World Cup, finishing as one of the top wicket-takers. He is Sri Lanka's top wicket-taker in the T20Is.

Highest Individual Score: Tillakaratne Dilshan holds the record for the highest individual score by a Sri Lankan in T20Is.

Best Bowling Figures: Ajantha Mendis boasts the best bowling figures in a T20I match for Sri Lanka, with a remarkable 6 for 8 against Zimbabwe in 2012. This performance remains one of the best in T20I history.

Highest Team Total: Sri Lanka's highest team total in T20Is is 260/6, achieved against Kenya in 2007.

Lowest Team Total: Sri Lanka's lowest team totals in T20Is is 77, when they were bowled out for 77 against South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka's performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup was a mix of highs and lows. They were placed in Group D alongside South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Nepal. Despite a strong squad led by Hasaranga, Sri Lanka's campaign was marred by inconsistency.

Sri Lanka’s journey in T20I cricket has been marked by remarkable individual performances and significant team achievements. From winning the T20 World Cup in 2014 to setting numerous records, Sri Lanka continues to be a formidable force in the shortest format of the game.
