However, due to DPL not having a T20 status, the highest score in all of T20s is by Nepal, who scored 314/3 against Mongolia in the Asian Games in 2023.

Notably, Argentina Women's 427-1 and 333-1, against Chile last year, are the top two innings totals in all T20Is, whether men's or women's.

Badoni's knock would have been he third-best score in T20 history next to Chris Gayle's 175* in IPL and Aaron Finch's 172 against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe's Hamilton Maskadza's 162* for Mountaineers against the Eagles in Zimbabwe's Domestic T20 competition still remains at number three.

Also, Badoni smashed 19 sixes in his knock but Sahil Chauhan of Estonia holds the record for most sixes in an innings with 18 sixes.
