Out of the three formats of cricket, T20 cricket is more often than not considered a game of batters, where despite the least number of overs, batters go full throttle to put big totals on the board. But sometimes, the tables are turned and the bowlers perform so brilliantly that batters find it way too hard to score runs. As a result, in the piles of big team totals, we sometimes also find a team total that a batter can make on his average day in T20 cricket. 
 
Against the Test-playing nations, the lowest T20I total of all time is by West Indies, who not only occupy the first but also the second position. Their lowest total is 45 against England in 2019, while their second lowest is 55, also against England in 2021.
 
New Zealand, with two 60-run totals, are joint third with West Indies, who also have a 60-run total to their name. But what are the other lowest team totals in T20I cricket by a Test-playing nation? Take a look.
