4. Pakistan – 33 wins
Pakistan, known for their formidable bowling in the T20 World Cup, found themselves at the center of the action in the competition's first few seasons. After losing to arch-rivals India in a dramatic final, they bounced back with a win in 2009. Pakistan then reached consecutive semi-finals in 2010 and 2012, and again in 2022. In 2024, they had their worst campaign, losing to India and the USA before being eliminated in the group stage.
3. Sri Lanka – 35 wins
Sri Lanka has a strong record in the T20 World Cup. Their most memorable season came in 2014, when they defeated India to win their first trophy. Before winning the championship, they had finished runner-up twice and qualified for the semi-finals in 2010. However, since 2014, the Sri Lankan team has struggled and failed to reach the final four.
2. South Africa – 36 wins
South Africa holds the record for the most wins without a title in the tournament's history. Despite their strong team, the Proteas have failed to win the trophy consistently.
