Team India had an almost perfect start to their campaign at the 2025 Men's T20 Asia Cup, defeating the UAE with 93 balls to spare. It was one of India's biggest and biggest margin wins in the history of T20 International cricket. Celebrating India's great start, let's take a look at three examples of their biggest wins in T20 Internationals based on the number of balls.

1. India 93 balls remaining vs UAE, Dubai 2025

Team India defeated tournament hosts UAE by nine wickets with 93 balls to spare in the second match of the 2025 Men's T20 Asia Cup. Bowling first after winning the toss at the Dubai International Stadium, the Indian bowlers chased down a modest target of 58 runs and bundled out UAE for just 57 in 13.1 overs.

Abhishek Sharma scored 30 off 16 balls while fellow opener Shubman Gill scored 20* off nine balls as the duo shared a 48-run stand in less than four overs. Gill and his skipper Suryakumar Yadav (7*), batting at number three, hit the winning runs for India in 4.3 overs to register the biggest T20I win for the 'Men in Blue'.

2. India 81 balls remaining vs Scotland, Dubai 2021

Team India got some relief with a stunning win over Scotland in the 37th match of the 2021 Men's T20 World Cup. Mohammed Shami (3/15) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/15) bowled impressively, while Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets to bundle out Scotland for just 85 runs in 17.4 overs.

In reply, KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma had a blistering opening partnership of 70 runs in less than five overs for Team India, but Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Brad Wheel after scoring 30 runs off 16 balls. Rahul scored 50 runs off just 19 balls with the help of six fours and three skyscraper sixes and scored the highest score of the innings. After this, captain Virat Kohli (2 *) and Suryakumar Yadav (6 *), who came to bat at number four, together gave India the winning runs by taking eight wickets with 81 balls remaining.

3. India 64 balls remaining vs Bangladesh, Hangzhou 2023

The Indian team defeated Bangladesh by nine wickets with 64 balls to spare in the first semi-final of the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.

Fellow spinner Washington Sundar also picked up 2 for 15 while top pacer Arshdeep Singh, part-timer Tilak Verma, and spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Shahbaz Ahmed picked up a wicket each to restrict Bangladesh to 96/9 in 20 overs.

In reply, India chased down the target, losing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for a four-ball duck off Ripan Mondol in the very first over. However, their captain and opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad smashed 40* off just 26 balls with four fours and three towering sixes.
