T20 match is one of the most entertaining formats of cricket. Unlike Test cricket, the game does not last for five days. The winner of a T20 match is known in three to four hours only. Sometimes, the matches end inside two hours as well if the game is a one-sided affair.
Speaking of one-sided affairs, in T20 matches, the general par score for a batter is 30 runs. It is normally equal to scoring a half-century in Tests or ODIs. However, there have been four instances in the history of T20 cricket, wherein a team got all out for less than 30 runs. Here is a list of those four innings.
4. Turkey – 28 all out in T20 match vs. Luxembourg
Thanks to the International Cricket Council’s constant efforts, cricket has become a global sport now. Many nations play T20I cricket regularly. Two new T20I teams are Turkey and Luxembourg, who competed in a match in August 2019, where Turkey got all out for just 28 runs.
3. Lesotho – 26 all out in T20 match vs. Uganda
Cricket has grown by leaps and bounds in African nations as well, with Lesotho and Uganda making their international debuts. In a T20I match played last year, Lesotho got all out for just 26 runs against Uganda.
2. Turkey – 21 all out vs. Czech Republic
Turkey cricket team features for the second time in the list. Interestingly, even this match happened in August 2019. After the match against Luxembourg, Turkey faced off against Czech Republic. In that game, they lost all their 10 wickets for just 21 runs.
1. Sydney Thunder – 15 all out vs. Adelaide Strikers

They lost all their wickets for just 15 runs while chasing a 140-run target against Adelaide Strikers. Prominent names like Alex Hales and Rilee Rossouw featured in the team.
