Aaron Finch ( 172):
This incredible knock by Australia captain Aaron Finch is the highest score by a batsman in a T20 international match. This monster of a knock came against Zimbabwe on the 3rd of July 2018. He destroyed the Zimbabwe bowling to all parts of the ground and hit 16 fours and 10 Massive sixes. The bowlers were searching for answers for this onslaught but they had none. Such was his Dominance in this innings that he outscored the entire Zimbabwe team by 43 runs in the match. The Zimbabwe Bowlers unfortunately would not be able to forget this hammering anytime soon. It was a treat for every cricket fan other than the fans of Zimbabwe to watch this masterclass from a great batter.
Hazratullah Zazai (162):
The match in which Hazratullah Zazai smashed this score is also the match where the Afghanistan team scored the most team runs in a T20 international. This innings by Hazrat was a special one and it came against Ireland on 23rd February 2019. The Ireland bowlers were bowling and Hazrat was sending the ball outside the boundary with ease and he hit 16 huge Sixes to add to the misery of the Irish bowlers. They were clueless as they were leaking runs left right and centre. He showed no mercy and it’s sure that the Irish would not be able to forget this beating so easily.
Aaron Finch (156):
Aaron Finch and high scores in T20 Internationals seems like a love story better than Twilight. This time the victims of his devastation were the Aussies favorite rivals that being England. This happened in 2013 but I am sure the English team have not forgotten it 8 years later. That day he took England to the cleaners as and he hit 14 sixes and 11 fours across the ground and hit a smashing 150. Aaron Finch has a knack of hitting big hundreds and as fans it’s always special to watch him. Hope he hits more hundreds but not against India.
