Chasing big totals in T20 cricket requires aggressive batting, effective partnerships and consistent scoring throughout the innings. Several teams have produced remarkable run chases of 190 or more, finishing their targets with plenty of deliveries to spare.
India’s successful pursuit of New Zealand’s 199-run total in Wellington in 2026 features among the fastest chases in the supplied list, with the Men in Blue reaching their target with 40 balls remaining. Here is a look at five teams that completed successful chases of at least 190 with the most balls left.

Estonia occupy the top spot in the supplied list after chasing a target of 192 against Cyprus in Episkopi in 2024. They completed the run chase with 42 balls remaining, making it the most delivery-efficient performance among the five teams featured. The achievement highlights how quickly a side can reach a substantial target when its batters maintain a high scoring rate throughout the innings.
