Today we bring you the cricketers who hit the highest scores in a T20 World Cup 2007 Innings. The third format of International Cricket — Twenty20 — was introduced in the season 2005. T20 cricket is the shortest format of cricket where each team plays 20 overs. As the overs are limited, the batsmen tend to play fearlessly, resulting in a number of quick-paced innings. Soon, in the next two years, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the World T20 Championship. The craze of T20 cricket first made an appearance at the inaugural T20I World Cup hosted by South Africa in 2007.

The number of fans of such quickfire cricket kept increasing from thereon, which gave rise to various domestic leagues around the globe. But the international matches still receive more attention. T20 cricket is most suited to power hitters. There were several power hitters who delivered top-notch innings in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Here, in this article, we have mentioned the top 5 batsmen who scored the highest scores in a T20 World Cup 2007 Innings.

5. Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen was a middle-order England batsman who was known to build match-winning innings. In the league match against Zimbabwe of the 2007 T20 world cup, he hit around 79 runs in 37 balls with a strike rate of 213.51 which helped England to put a good total of 188 runs on board.
