The warm-up matches in cricket do not hold much siginificance from the result point of view. These matches, featuring some of the best cricket teams in the world, are usually for them to get acclimatised to the conditions.

Recently, few teams like Bangladesh and India are playing practice matches during their respective tours to Australia and Sri Lanka. While they were expected to dominate the game, Bangladesh succumbed to a shocking defeat to a team which does not have much experience.

Not just Bangladesh, several other teams have been shocked in warm-up matches before. Let's find out the top 3 lowest scores for international teams in warm up matches irrespective of the format.

Top 3 Lowest Scores in Warm up Matches

1. Bangladesh (54 All Out) - Bangladesh were bowled out for just 54 runs during their warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI at Darwin. It was a three-day game that went in CA XI's favor as they won by an innings and 38 runs.

The match was played on August 6-8, 2026 in Darwin as the visitors aimed to prepare for the two-match Test series against Australia. However, they were completely bamboozled, especially in the second innings, as they were bowled out inside 22 overs. The lowest score by international team in Test cricket is New Zealand's 26 but Bangladesh also joined this unwanted list.

2. Namibia (67 All Out) - Namibia were shot out for 67 runs inside 12.1 overs during the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Warm-Up match on February 6 against India A. It is one of the lowest team scores in warm up matches.

The match was played at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground, Bengaluru which the Indian team dominated. Batting first, India A scored 197-8 in 20 overs. Chasing a daunting target, Namibia were never in the chase and were bowled out for a sub-par total. As a result, they registered an unwanted total to their name.

3. Pakistan (71 All Out) - During the T20 World Cup 2014 Warm-up match, Pakistan were bundled out for just 71 against South Africa at Fatullah. It was a disappointing performance from a Pakistan team consisting of some of the best T20 batsmen like Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, and Mohammad Hafeez.

South Africa went on to chase down the target in just 14 overs to wrap up a convincing win. Later, Pakistan had a disappointing tournament failed to reach the semi-finals. This goes down as one of their below-par performances in warm-up games.
