India holds the record with 10 consecutive wins spanning 2024-2026, surpassing South Africa’s eight-match streak from 2024. The Men in Blue won all eight matches in their 2024 title run before beating USA and Namibia in 2026.
India’s success stems from pace-spin balance: Bumrah’s economy of 6.52 thrives on Caribbean tracks, while Kuldeep’s strike rate of 11.79 exploits Asian turn.
South Africa relied on de Kock’s powerplay hitting and Rabada’s yorkers on seam-friendly pitches, and Nortje operated at an economy under 7.50. Australia’s streak was built on Marsh’s all-round impact, home bounce favoring pace, and Zampa’s leg-spin control.
