86 for 1 India’s total in the powerplay against Namibia in Delhi<\/a> is their highest in this phase in the Men’s T20 World Cup, surpassing their 82 for 2 against Scotland in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is also the fourth-highest powerplay total by any team at the Men’s T20 World Cup and the third-highest for India<\/a> in all men’s T20Is, behind the 95 for 1 against England in 2025<\/a> and 94 for 2 against New Zealand last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6.5 Overs that India took to reach the 100-run mark against Namibia, the quickest team hundred at the Men’s T20 World Cup. The previous quickest was by Netherlands, who took only seven overs against Ireland in 2014 in Sylhet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

124* Partnership between Italy’s Anthony Mosca<\/a> and Justin Mosca<\/a> against Nepal at the Wankhede<\/a>, the highest between siblings in all T20Is. The previous highest was 119 between Scotland’s Bryce sisters Sarah and Kathryn for the second wicket against Netherlands in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The previous highest between brothers in Men’s T20Is was 101 by Gibraltar’s opening pair of Philip Raikes and Michael Raikes, against Bulgaria in 2025<\/a>. The 131 by Dwayne Bravo and Darren Bravo in CPL 2014<\/a> is the only partnership higher than the one between the Moscas in all Men’s T20s between brothers.<\/p>\n

The Mosca brothers are also the first pair of siblings to share a century stand at the T20 World Cup, and only the second in any ICC tournament, after Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh, who have three 100-plus stands in ODI World Cups<\/a> including a 207-run partnership against Kenya in 1996.<\/p>\n

1 Italy registered their maiden win at the T20 World Cup<\/a>, defeating Nepal by 10 wickets. It is only the eighth instance<\/a> of a team winning by a ten-wicket margin at the Men’s T20 World Cup. Italy are the second Associate team to do so after Oman against PNG in 2021. It was also Italy’s first ten-wicket win in Men’s T20Is<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is the biggest win in terms of balls to spare for an Associate team at the Men’s T20 World Cup, surpassing Scotland’s 41-ball win over Oman in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka went on to win the match by 105 runs, the second time they have won a men’s T20I<\/a> by 100-plus-run margin after the 2007 T20 World Cup game against Kenya, which they won by 172 runs.<\/p>\n

19 Balls that Dasun Shanaka<\/a> took for his fifty against Oman<\/a>, the fastest for Sri Lanka in Men’s T20Is. Shanka bettered his own record, having previously hit a 20-ball fifty against India in 2023 in Pune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nadeem took 52 balls for his fifty, the joint-slowest for any batter at the Men’s T20 World Cup alongside Mohammad Rizwan against Canada in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n
