The 20-20 World Cup always gets the fans excited with the action that it brings. The last edition of the tournament, won by England, was no different. The Three Lions defeated Pakistan to lift their second title. Batting well in a tournament final becomes critical because the shortest format requires batters to be on their toes. In this listicle, we will look at some of the highest individual scores in the 20-20 World Cup finals.

New Zealand’s captain had the fastest fifty in the 20-20 World Cup final in 2021. However, his knock against the mighty Australian team was in vain, as he was defeated. The Kowi batter scored 85 runs in just 48 balls, powered by 10 boundaries and three sixes. He helped his team to reach a total of 172 runs. Australia eventually chased down the target with eight wickets to spare.
#1 85*- Marlon Samuels vs England, 2016
Marlon Samuels’ excellent knock against England in 2016 helped his team win the 20-20 World Cup for the second time.

He scored 85 runs in 66 balls, with 9 fours and two sixes, while chasing a target of 156 runs, before Brathwaite hit four sixes to win the match.
