Have a look at their longest such streaks.
#1
8 wins in 2024
WI started this year with two back-to-back defeats to Australia on their tour Down Under. They then beat Australia in the 3rd T20I.
In May, WI routed South Africa 3-0 in the three-match T20I series at home.
They were unbeaten in the ongoing T20 World Cup group stage, beating PNG, Uganda, New Zealand, and Afghanistan.
This was WI's longest-ever winning streak in T20Is.
#2
7 wins (2012-2013)
West Indies' previous-longest winning streak in T20I cricket was seven, achieved between 2012 and 2013.
This streak started with a Super-Over victory over New Zealand in October 2012.
WI then beat Australia (twice), Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Zimbabwe (twice).
The Windies also won the 2012 T20 World Cup title in this period. They defeated Sri Lanka in the final in Colombo.
#3
5 wins in 2017
West Indies had a topsy-turvy T20I run in 2017. They lost three of their first four T20Is that year, to Pakistan.
However, the Windies made a turnaround with five consecutive wins. Wins over Afghanistan (thrice), India, and England revived their campaign.
New Zealand snapped WI's winning streak with a 47-run win in Nelson in December.
