Five Lowest All-Out Totals Against India in T20Is. India’s bowling attack was simply sensational in the Asia Cup 2025, dismissing the United Arab Emirates for just 57 runs in Dubai. The UAE’s score of 57 was their lowest T20I total thus far and also the lowest in T20I history against India, highlighting India’s explosive power in T20 cricket.

The game’s bowling hero was Kuldeep Yadav with 4/7, ably supported by Shivam Dube with 3/4, as India wrapped up a nine-wicket victory in just 4.3 overs, also their biggest T20I win by balls remaining. This latest win adds to the history of times when India’s bowlers have absolutely destroyed teams with record-low totals.

From associate members to all full-member countries, no team has been spared when India’s bowlers have been in this type of destructive form. Here’s a summary of the five lowest all-out totals against India in a T20I.

UAE – 57 (Dubai, 2025)

The newest entry came at the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai when the United Arab Emirates capitulated to all out on 57 in 13.1 overs. UAE went up against a world-class Indian attack and utterly floundered, with Kuldeep Yadav (4/7) and Shivam Dube (3/4) starting a batting calamity. This is still the UAE’s lowest-ever T20I score and the lowest score ever against India. The Men in Blue cruised to their target in 4.3 overs, earning themselves their biggest ever T20I win based on balls remaining.

New Zealand – 66 (Ahmedabad, 2023)

Before the UAE’s collapse, New Zealand’s 66 in Ahmedabad in February 2023 was the all-out record total against India. The Kiwi batters were dismissed inside 13 overs on a slow track with Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh spearheading in the bowling department. India won the game by an incredible 168 runs, marking, at this point, India’s biggest T20I win by runs.

Ireland – 70 (Malahide, 2018)

Ireland’s struggles against India were exposed in the T20I in Dublin back in 2018 when they struggled to 70. The Indian seamers controlled the overcast conditions perfectly, ensuring Ireland never looked settled. It remains one of Ireland’s weakest totals in T20Is, whilst it is still one of India’s most dominant away wins.

England – 80 (Colombo, 2012)

Even the biggest of teams can fall apart against India, as was the case with England at the 2012 ICC World T20 held in Colombo, when they were bowled out for 80 runs. Harbhajan Singh and Piyush Chawla tore through the England batting lineup and led India to a memorable win in the group stages.

Sri Lanka – 82 (Vizag, 2016)

Sri Lanka was bowled out for 82 in Vizag in the decider of the three-match series held in 2016. Ashwin spun a web around the Lanka batsmen, with 4/8, as India won the series 2-1. This was also Sri Lanka’s lowest T20I total against their neighbor.
