Listing the cricketers with highest scores in T20Is by batting position

#5 Joe Root – 90* from 49 balls, for England against Australia at Southampton, August 2013

Just one match features two innings on this list from two different sides. On 29 August, 2013 after Aaron Finch unleashed another degree of hell against an England bowling attack who simply had no answer to it.

In response, England needed something special if they had to chase down 248. After a fast start, England lost three wickets in four balls and that brought Joe Root to the crease. And he did his part, but unfortunately for England, no one else could give him company.

Although he scored just one six in his unbeaten 90, he still finished with a strike rate in excess of 180. And it was thanks to his knock and some useful cameos lower down the order that England just lost the game by 39 runs or Finch's destructive innings would have resulted in a humiliation for the hosts.
