10 wicket : victory has happened twice as you can see in second table below. 4 wickets in 4 overs, Stuart Clark destroyed Srilankan middle order in that Group F match of first T20 world cup in South Africa. Adam Gilchrist (31 off 25 balls) and Mathew Hayden (58 off 38 balls) finished the game without being saperated. as did South African Graeme Smith (71 off 40 balls) & Loots Bosman (53 off 32 balls) against Pakistan while chasing below par 129 at Johannesburg.

74 balls : were left unplayed by New Zealand when they rapidly achieved their target of 73 against Kenya, another of first T20 world cup group C match.
