5 highest scoring T20I matches in recent times

#2 Australia vs New Zealand (488 runs)

Guptill's hundred came in a losing cause

The battle between arch-rivals New Zealand & Australia is always more than just a cricket match. They leave no opportunity to entertain the crowd, especially if its a T20 match.

A ton by Martin Guptill & 33-ball 76 by Colin Munro powered the Kiwis to 243/6, which should have been more as their middle order failed to extend the exhibition of boundaries & gave their wickets cheaply.

The opening southpaws for Kangaroos, David Warner & D'Arcy Short scored fifties to provide the foundation to the chase. Unlike NZ, their middle-order didn't disappoint as Finch & Maxwell scored quick-fire 30s to successfully get the highest ever run chase in a T20I under their belt.

Result: Australia beat New Zealand by 5 wickets
