### #1: 83/10 – West Indies vs Nepal, 2025
West Indies’ innings of 83 all out against Nepal now tops this unwanted list, as highlighted by statistician Kaustubh Gudipati.
Chasing 174, West Indies got off to a poor start with Jewel Andrew dismissed early. The team struggled throughout the innings and was eventually bundled out for just 83 in 17.1 overs.
Jason Holder was the only batter to score over 20, contributing 21 runs.
Nepal’s bowlers Mohammad Aadil Alam (4/24) and Kushal Bhurtel (3/16) shared seven wickets to run through the West Indies lineup.

### #2: 88/10 – England vs Netherlands, 2014
Before this, England held one of the lowest totals against an Associate nation when they were bowled out for just 88 in the 2014 ICC T20 World Cup against the Netherlands in Chattogram.
England was chasing 134 but their innings never got going, losing wickets in quick succession.
Ravi Bopara was the only batter to cross 15 runs, scoring 18.
Dutch bowlers Mudassar Bukhari and Logan van Beek took three wickets each as England could only last 17.4 overs.

### #3: 93/10 – Zimbabwe vs Namibia, 2023
Namibia produced a clinical bowling display to defend a paltry total of 101 against Zimbabwe in the 2023 Windhoek T20I.
Four of Zimbabwe’s top five batters failed to reach double digits.
Nick Welch (23) and Luke Jongwe (24) were the only Zimbabwe players to score more than 20 as their innings lasted 19.2 overs.
Bernard Scholtz and JJ Smit took three wickets each to dismantle the Zimbabwe lineup.
