In ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history, a 10-wicket win represents the purest form of dominance in cricket — where a team chases down a target without losing a single wicket. These wins present more than just strong opening batting unions but rather strict but disciplined bowling that pegs the opposition to reachable scores. Due to the unpredictability of T20 cricket and the danger attached to each over, it is uncommon and extraordinary to win a match without losing a single wicket. These games involve matches of plan, character, will, and action: destroying the confidence of the opponent in the initial stages and moving at a slow pace with surgical precision. In several tournaments since the first one that took place in 2007, few teams; including New Zealand and England as well as Pakistan and South Africa have left their mark in the record books with flawless chases. Below is a detailed look at each of these historic 10-wicket victories, the stars behind them, and the context that made them unforgettable.

It was not a matter of hitting a target but it was a test of pressure in a knockout match with one of the best bowling attacks in the world. The openers of England were aggressive and not afraid to take risks, and with intelligent varying pace, they removed the pressure early and maintained control all the way. Their selection in shooting was flawless, as the bowlers of India could not compel them to make mistakes. The outcome is one of the emphatic chases in T20 world cup history. 3. Pakistan — 152/0 vs India (Dubai, 2021) Image Source : Getty Images In 2021, Pakistan was able to win against India in Dubai by a historic 152/0 score - a result that had immense emotional and tactical significance. When they got to play their arch-rivals in a high pressure, the opening duo of Pakistan displayed both patience and power. They took advantage of bowlers who were in error, hit short balls, and swung strike masterly. India was battling on, but could not take a single wicket. The partnership that had existed continuously was more than runs, it was about psychological stability and ultimate confidence. This pursuit is considered to be one of the most discussed T20 World Cup wins of Pakistan. 4. Oman — 131/0 vs Papua New Guinea (Al Amerat, 2021) Image Source : ICC Oman’s 131/0 chase against Papua New Guinea (PNG) in Al Amerat during the 2021 World Cup demonstrated how emerging cricket nations can combine discipline with intent. The Omani openers constructed a well-developed and assertive alliance - walkers of the innings and a pressure on the PNG bowlers. Even with a comparably small goal, it is a task that can never be achieved with ease to implement an ideal chase in the conditions of the World Cup. The pair of Oman maximized the score and minimized the risk hence demonstrating the value of judging and remaining calm. 5. England — 117/0 vs USA (Bridgetown, 2024) Image Source : Getty Images During the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, England scored 117 runs without a single loss to the United States in Bridgetown. As the target was not that difficult to control, the performance of England could be characterized by its consistency and accuracy. Their openers establish the tempo at the beginning and create a strong base and exploit the scoring opportunities without wasting them. The USA bowling assault had glimpses of promise, but England never gave a chance to gain momentum. This was a simple and yet ideal chase that shows how balanced partnerships would make T20 run-chases appear to be easy. 6. Australia — 102/0 vs Sri Lanka (Cape Town, 2007) Image Source : AFP During the first T20 world cup that was held in 2007, Australia pursued 102 runs without a single wicket being lost against Sri Lanka in Cape Town. Although the target was not massive, the partnership of the Australian team which was entirely intact made an early precedent of how to play responsible calmly in T20 chases. There was caution mingled with aggression in their openers, and they were never backward in running between the wickets, nor in delivering fiercely at loose balls. This performance became a template for future perfect chases. 7. South Africa — 94/0 vs Zimbabwe (Hambantota, 2012) Image Source : AFP During the 2012 T20 World Cup in Hambantota, South Africa executed a textbook chase of 94 runs without losing a wicket against Zimbabwe. The Proteas openers were on top of things early on, a combination of mastery of good technique, but nasty scoring consciousness. They criticized the target, yet with a relatively small target, they were focused and maintained the heat on Zimbabwe at all times. Their crisp strokeplay and smart placement of shots ensured they never lost rhythm, sealing a clinical victory.
