| 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!.
