Highest T20I innings total at Hagley Oval (updated on October 10, 2022)
The home team holds the record of highest T20I innings total at the Hagley Oval. It was in the first match of Australia’s tour last year when New Zealand had scored 184/5 in 20 overs after being put in to bat first by Australia captain Aaron Finch.
Player almost three years ago, the first match here had been witness to the highest successful T20I run-chase after England had defeated New Zealand by 7 wickets on the back of sealing a 154-run chase in the penultimate over.
