India and Sri Lanka are hosting the T20 World Cup 2026. 20 participated in the event, but only 6 teams have actually lifted the prestigious trophy.
A total of 25 teams have featured in the 10 editions of the T20 World Cups. Out of these 25, only 6 have silverware in their closets (Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies). So, who are the teams that have never won the T20 World Cup?

Which teams have reached the T20 World Cup final but not won the trophy?
South Africa and New Zealand have both reached the finals before but fallen short. The Proteas, in 2024, lost to India, and the Kiwis, in 2021, lost to Australia.
Which teams have played all editions of the T20 World Cup but have yet to win the tournament?
Once again, it’s South Africa and New Zealand who’ve featured in all 9 past editions but have yet to win. Of course, one of them could change that in 2026.
