Here you go, Trini. I culled the data from here and formulated it into picture format.

Pakistan have the lowest losing percentage (34.54%) when batting first. Australia the highest (51.21%) among the top 8 sides.

Thanks. So most of the big teams seem to win more than they lose when batting first. I thought the percentages swung the other way: bat second in T20s, and you're more likely to win.

South Africa are head and shoulders above everyone else when it comes to winning the toss and choosing to chase.
