Do you know the team that have defeated the opponenet in T20 by the largest margin?
The Answer is;
"SRILANKA"
SRI LANKA VS KENYA IN ICC T20 CRICKET WORLD CUP
Sometimes, a match can be a big mis-match. On those days, one side plays the bully while other team finds no where to hide..
Following is a list containing the biggest victories in Twenty20 Internationals. but it ain't no easy table to understand cause a team wins a cricket match in two different ways = by runs and by wickets. another important list we've included is biggest T20 victories with number of balls remaining, meaning the overs which were left unplayed in second innings.
172 runs : was the margin between Sri Lanka and Kenya on 14 September, a league game of first ever T20 world cup in 2007. riding on Sanath Jayasuriya's two run a ball 88 and 27 ball 65 by captain Mahela Jayawardene, Srilankans set up 261 for minnow kenyans to chase who were bundled out in 19.3 overs to hand over 172 run defeat.. the biggest till date!
10 wicket : victory has happened twice as you can see in second table below. 4 wickets in 4 overs, Stuart Clark destroyed Srilankan middle order in that Group F match of first T20 world cup in South Africa. Adam Gilchrist (31 off 25 balls) and Mathew Hayden (58 off 38 balls) finished the game without being saperated. as did South African Graeme Smith (71 off 40 balls) & Loots Bosman (53 off 32 balls) against Pakistan while chasing below par 129 at Johannesburg.
74 balls : were left unplayed by New Zealand when they rapidly achieved their target of 73 against Kenya, another of first T20 world cup group C match. Mark Gillespie had tormented Kenya batsman with his 4 wickets from 17 balls. Peter Fulton, Brendon McCullum and Lou Vincent warped up the game with 12.2 overs remaining!
SRI LANKAN TEAM ALWAYS WORKING AS A GROUP
The Sri Lankan cricket team is the national cricket team of Sri Lanka. The team first played international cricket in 1926–27, and were later awarded Test status in 1981, which made Sri Lanka the eighth Test cricket playing nation. The team is administered by Sri Lanka Cricket. The team is quite famous for its numerous innovations and unusual style of cricket. Such innovations include aggressive batting within the first 15 overs of an ODI, the 'Dilscoop' shot, the 'carrom' ball, the 'doosra' etc.
Sri Lanka's national cricket team achieved considerable success beginning in the 1990s, rising from underdog status to winning the Cricket World Cup in 1996. Since then, the team has continued to be a force in international cricket. The Sri Lankan cricket team reached the finals of the 2007 and 2011 Cricket World Cups consecutively. But they ended up being runners up in both those occasions. The batting of Sanath Jayasuriya (retired) and Aravinda de Silva (retired), backed up by the bowling of Muttiah Muralitharan (retired) and Chaminda Vaas (retired), among many other talented cricketers, has underpinned the successes of Sri Lankan cricket during the last 15 years.
Sri Lanka have won the Cricket World Cup in 1996, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 (co-champions with India), have been consecutive runners up in the 2007 and 2011 Cricket World Cups, and have been runners up in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009. The Sri Lankan cricket team currently holds several world records, including world records for highest team totals in all three forms of the game, Test, ODI and Twenty20.
SRILANKA IN '96 WORLD CUP
Early years
Ceylon, as the country was known before 1972, played its first first-class match under that name against Marylebone Cricket Club at Nomads Ground, Victoria Park, Colombo in 1926–27, losing by an innings.The team's first win came against Patiala at Dhruve Pandove Stadium in 1932–33. The Ceylonese side competed in the M. J. Gopalan Trophy games from the 1950s, through the change of name to Sri Lanka, well into the 1970s. Sri Lankan cricket team's One Day International debut came in the 1975 Cricket World Cup and their first One Day International win against a test cricket playing nation came in the 1979 Cricket World Cup against India. Sri Lanka were later awarded test cricket status in 1981, by the International Cricket Council.

Recorded the first test win and series victory against India in 1985
Registered the first test win and series victory away from home against New Zealand in 1995

Runners up of the 2011 Cricket World Cup hosted by India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh
Champions of the Asia Cup in 1986, 1997, 2004 and 2008
As of December 2011, the Sri Lankan team has played 209 Test matches, winning 29.66%, losing 35.41% and drawing 34.93% of its games. Sri Lankan cricket's greatest moment undoubtedly came during the aforementioned 1996 World Cup, when they defeated the top-ranked Australian team under the leadership of Arjuna Ranatunga in the final. Sri Lanka's game style over the course of the series revolutionized One Day International Cricket, and was characterized by highly aggressive batting of their openers Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana in the first fifteen overs of the innings in order to take advantage of the fielding restrictions imposed during this period. This strategy has since become a hallmark of One Day International cricket.
In 2004, Sri Lankan cricket team whitewashed South Africa 5–0 in an ODI series in Sri Lanka, which is the heaviest defeat of a South African cricket team in a bilateral One Day International series. Sri Lanka whitewashed England 5–0 in the NatWest Series in 2006, which is England's heaviest home defeat in a bilateral ODI Series. Sanath Jayasuriya was the Man of the Series. Sri Lanka also whitewashed Zimbabwe 5–0 in two ODI series, which took place in Zimbabwe in 2004 and 2008.

This led to the death of five policemen and injuries to seven cricketers and a member of the coaching team.The team was on its way to the Gaddafi Stadium where they were scheduled to begin the third day of the Second Test.
