Highest team totals in T20Is at M Chinnaswamy Stadium

The highest T20I score at the ground is India's 212/4 against Afghanistan on January 17, 2024. Rohit Sharma made an unbeaten 121 off 69 balls, and Rinku Singh added 69 not out off 39. Afghanistan matched the total with 212/6, and India won in a second Super Over.

That means five of the eight innings in this series have already gone past Bengaluru's best. The ground has hosted ten T20Is since Pakistan beat India there by five wickets in December 2012.

Only nine produced a full result. A game between India and South Africa in June 2022 was abandoned after 3.3 overs. Chasing sides have won five of the nine completed matches.

West Indies' 247/3 in Hyderabad was 35 runs more than the best total in Bengaluru. Their 252/4 at Ranchi was 40 runs more. The scores are listed below with the highest first.
