England are probably considered the toughest team in white-ball cricket. Their dominance in the last 5–6 years in both ODIs and T20Is is just tremendous. Especially in the shorter format, they are one of only two teams to win T20 World Cup twice in history. They became the World T20 champions in 2010 under Paul Collingwood. Then, Jos Buttler led his country to repeat that success in 2022.
One of the prime reasons for England’s success is their aggressive approach to the game. They have certainly got some big power-hitters, who can singlehandedly change the game. England has registered some big wins in the shorter format. And here, we will talk about the biggest T20I wins for the English team so far.
