Lowest T20I totals by the top 10 teams

2) Bangladesh (70) vs New Zealand, 2016

Bangladeshi batsman Mahmudullah being bowled out by Ish Sodhi

This is the most recent match in our list which took place a few months back during the 2016 ICC World T20. With New Zealand already having qualified for the semi-finals, Bangladesh was keen to secure a win after losing a nail-biting encounter to arch-rivals India.

Despite having a decent start, the ‘Black Caps’ fell into the trap of speedster Mustafizur Rahman who picked up 5 wickets in his 4-over quota and restricted the island nation to a moderate 145 runs. It was a very disappointing sight to see the Bangladeshi batsman struggling against the promising spinner Ish Sodhi and part-time medium pacer Grant Elliot as they steered the team from down under to a massive 75-run victory and ensured they top the group.

It was sad especially for the thousands of Bangladeshi fans who gathered at the iconic Eden Gardens to witness the clash.
