England’s Historic 300+ Score in T20I Cricket: A First for Major Teams

This marks only the third instance of a 300-run score in a T20 International. Nepal first achieved this feat on September 27, 2023, scoring 314 runs against Mongolia. Subsequently, Zimbabwe surpassed this mark on October 23, 2024, setting a new record of 344 runs against Gambia. However, England’s achievement is unique. It is the first time that a full member of the ICC (with Test cricket status) has scored 300 runs in an innings. Previously, the highest score between ICC members belonged to Team India, who scored 297 runs against Bangladesh in 2024.
