Year

Mts Avg Score (1st  bat) Win %(1st bat)

175 plus score

2005 3 175 66.67% 2
2006 9 157 44.44% 2
2007 38 158 44.74% 11
2008 29 125 34.48% 5
2009 48 158 56.25% 12
2010 68 144 47.06% 12
2011 21 150 52.38% 3
2012 46 151 52.17% 8

 

So is 175 a winning total ?

 

Well, since 2011 only once a team lost after scoring 175…. but it would very difficult for teams to score 175 consistently in the forthcoming T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.

I reckon 150 should be defendable and match winning score in T20World Cup!.
