Sialkot Stallions hold the record for the most consecutive wins in T20 cricket.
Between February 2006 and October 2010, Sialkot Stallions scripted history as they won every match in the domestic T20 tournaments during the 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons.
Led by captain Imran Nazir (2006-2009) and later under skipper Shoaib Malik, Sialkot Stallions won five consecutive National T20 Cups and went on a 25-match unbeaten streak during that time period.
However, that historic winning run came to an end in October 2010, when a Shoaib Malik-led Sialkot team suffered a 13-run defeat to Rawalpindi Rams while chasing 198 in a Group B encounter.
Indian domestic side Karnataka features second on the list for the most consecutive wins in T20 cricket.
Karnataka won 15 T20 matches on the trot between 2018 and 2019. Under the leadership of Vinay Kumar, Karnataka won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2018.
Later in 2019, Karnataka led by new captain Manish Pandey, continued their scintillating form as they beat Uttarakhand by nine wickets in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Group A match to record 15 consecutive T20 victories.
While Baroda ended their 15-match winning streak in their next game, Karnataka went on to clinch back-to-back Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as they defeated Tamil Nadu by just one run in the 2019 final in Surat.
New Zealand’s Otago and Indian T20 League outfit Kolkata share the third spot for the most consecutive wins in the T20 format.
Between 2012 and 2013, Otago won 14 T20 matches on the trot while Kolkata achieved the same feat in 2014.
In international cricket, Malaysia and Bermuda share the record for the most consecutive wins in T20. Both teams registered 13 consecutive victories in the T20 format.
Apart from Malaysia and Bermuda, Surrey and Afghanistan have also won 13 consecutive T20 matches in their history. Know teams with most consecutive wins in T20 cricket.
