The Czech Republic holds the record for the largest margin of victory by runs in T20 International cricket
. This historic feat occurred during a Continental Cup match in Ilfov County, Romania, in 2019, where they decimated Turkey by a staggering 257 runs.

After opting to bat first, the Czech Republic piled up an imposing 278/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Key contributions included Sudesh Wickramasekara’s explosive 104* off 36 balls and Sumit Pokhriyal’s steady 79 from 52 deliveries. This total remains the second-highest score in T20I history.
