There have been a lot of remarkable alliances throughout the history of the BBL, and a few of them have even been written down and become part of history. The opposing team has not been able to come up with an adequate response to these middle-infield pairings’ dominance, and both hitters have contributed significantly to the team’s overall run production.
For the fifth wicket, Cameron Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright made 137 runs without losing a wicket in the 25th match of the 2018 Big Bash League T20. Although they lost four wickets quickly, both batsmen continued to bat. The top best partnerships in the BBL annals are discussed below.

Highlight: The record-breaking partnership between Cameron Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright
In the 2018 Big Bash League, the match between Western Australia’s Perth Scorchers and Australia’s Sydney Thunder was decided by three runs. Usman Khawaja’s impressive hand of 85 aided the Thunder in establishing a competitive score of 175/4. When chasing the target, the Scorchers were 35/4; however, Cameron Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright scored 137 runs off of only 85 balls, bringing their team within touching distance of victory.
Cartwright scored 65 runs off 41 balls and had a chance to win by hitting a six off the penultimate delivery, but instead, he inside edged it for a single. Bancroft concluded with 75 not out on 56 balls and could have done nothing more to help his team win. Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright put together an unbroken 137-run partnership off 85 balls for the fifth wicket.
The Scorchers needed 24 runs off the last six balls to win the game. They began the over with a four and a six, but Mitchell McClenaghan did not bowl a ball that swung the game in their favour and won them the match. The host team ultimately defeated the visiting club by a score of three runs, preserving their hopes of advancing to the championship game.
