The Pakistan team is rocking the bar in T20 cricket. The main reason for that is the opening pair of that team. Babur Assam – Mohammad Rizwan have been giving the Pakistan team a great start in every match.
The start they both put together in T20 cricket was the main reason for the team’s success. Pakistan won the toss and elected to field. Since then they have batted immensely in other matches as well.

Babur and Rizwan put on 158 for the loss of 208 runs in the last T20I match against the West Indies to give Pakistan a 208-run victory in the 19th over.
This is the 4th 150+ Score Partnership between Baber-Riswan. This is the 6th 100+ partnership between Babur Assam and Rizwan in T20 cricket. With this, the Babur Assam-Rizwan duo has broken the Rohit-Rahul duo (5 times), the highest-scoring pair in T20 cricket.
The Rohit Sharma-Rahul duo have amassed over 100 runs in 27 T20 innings 5 times. In the same 27 T20 innings, the Babur Assam-Rizwan duo set the record for most runs scored 100 runs 6 times.
Similarly, Babur and Rizwan have shattered the record of Rohit-Dhawan and Rohit-Rahul, the opening pair to score more than 100 runs in T20 cricket more than once.
