Fans on Twitter heaped rich praise on Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for their other staggering partnership batting at the top of the order in the T20Is for their side. They hailed them as the most dangerous opening pair and said they can take their side to glory in the T20 World Cup 2022.
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan register their 8th 100-plus stand in T20Is
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan yet again stood tall for their side as they smashed a 101-run opening partnership for the first wicket in the game against Bangladesh on Thursday (13th October).
Chasing the target of 174 runs, Babar and Rizwan exhibited their class yet again and aced the chase for Pakistan. They smashed 101 in 12.3 overs to set the tone for their side. While the skipper scored 55 runs in 40 balls, the keeper batter smashed 69 runs in 56 balls to help their side win the game.
With their 101 stand, they registered their 8th-century partnership in T20Is. They now have the most 100-plus stands and most 50-plus stands in the shortest format of the game and also have been rated as the most dangerous opening pair by the ICC for the T20 World Cup 2022.
The duo has played an instrumental role in taking Pakistan to the top in T20Is of late. They are one of the main reasons behind their side getting the place in the final of the ongoing Tri-Series and it’s fair to say that they’ll be crucial for their team’s success in the upcoming World Cup.

Although @babarazam258 and Mr Reliable @iMRizwanPak once again played brilliantly but today Nawaz played the match changing inning. Rizwan and Babar set the match, but the credit of this win goes to @mnawaz94, he is my man of the match 👏👏

Today was the 8th time Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were involved in a century-partnership in T20Is and Pakistan has won all of these games.
8 games, 8 hundred-plus stands, 8 wins.
5 of these century-partnerships have come while chasing! #BANvPAK #NZTriSeries

Chairman PCB Ramiz Raja "Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are matchless pair. I feel shock when people want to break this opening pair. There was a time Pakistan had no settled opening duo. We've got performing pair now but people still ask why Babar & Rizwan are opening together."
