Suresh Raina hit most sixes in the match which saw the highest number of sixes! Grounds are getting smaller and bats are going broader. More over, only 20 overs per innings of 10 wickets means batsman can take chances knowing their team won't be bowled out without playing full quota of overs.

This makes following list a very interesting one : the record of most number of sixes hit in a Twenty20 cricket match.

India vs New Zealand : 25th February 2009 : AMI Stadium in Christchurch :- India batted first and hit 13 sixes in their innings. lack of middle order consolidation meant Indians finished with moderate 162/8 which Kiwis chased down.. with 7 wickets standing, and 7 balls remaining.. hitting 11 sixes.

The batsmen contributing to this record were : Suresh Raina = 5, Virendra Sehwag = 4, Rohit Sharma = 1, Yusuf Pathan = 3, Brendon McCullum = 3, Martin Guptill = 3, Toss Taylor = 3 and Jacob Oram = 2 sixes apiece.

24 sixes in 40 overs.. not enough! You can see above was a relatively low scoring game compared to matches were teams set target of over 200 and yet lose. With T20 cricket fast evolving, we're hopeful a pair of teams will someday beat this record as well.
