Mohammad Rizwan-Babar Azam Set a new world record for the highest T20I partnership. As the two put up 203* for the first wicket. Babar smashed a beautiful century to herald his long-awaited return to form. While Rizwan played second fiddle to perfection, scoring yet another stunning half-century.
It’s not every day that two batters carry their bats through the innings in a high-pressure chase and help their side win by a landslide. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and his faithful deputy Mohammad Rizwan accomplished exactly that. As the hosts rallied back to tie the 7-match T20I series at 1-1. Chasing down a 200-run mark while remaining undefeated and setting a new world record.
Babar smashed a fine century to signal his long-awaited return to form. While Rizwan played second fiddle to perfection, scoring another impressive half-century as the duo put on 203* for the first wicket. Breaking their own record of 197 to set a new world record for the highest partnership in a T20I chase.

It is also the fifth-highest partnership in T20Is for any wicket.
Babar remained undefeated on 110 off 66 balls, while Rizwan struck an unbeaten 88 off 51 balls as Pakistan put on a display for the packed crowd at Karachi’s National Stadium, only two days after suffering a humiliating setback in the series opener.
The victory snaps a three-game losing streak for the squad dating back to the Asia Cup.
Babar and Rizwan delivered a similar performance in the 2021 T20 World Cup as Pakistan cruised to a 10-wicket victory over archrival India.
The triumph brings much-needed cheer to a country that has been devastated by floods and is in desperate need of motivation.
