How teams have fared since the last WT20 in 2014?

Since the last WT20, Afghanistan has had the most wins by any team in all T20Is - 13. Their W/L ratio stands at 4.33 which is well ahead of next placed Netherlands (2.33) and India (2.0). Their excellent run includes victories against Zimbabwe both home and away. The surprise exit from Round One of Asia cup might have dented their confidence somewhat but still they certainly look capable of springing a surprise or two.
