T20 is the most well-known, gratifying, and well-liked of all the distinct international cricket formats. The 20-over game’s excitement, speed, and pace are enjoyed by both bowlers and batters. Records from the T20 World Cup games demonstrate how the players strive to give their best effort for the squad right away. 

Every time a match is played, either the makers or the chasers hope that the opening partnership lasts as long as possible so that the side can succeed in one of the two scenarios. The highest opening partnerships seen thus far during the T20 World Cup are shown in the sections below:

152 points were scored by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan against India in 2021

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium hosted the game between these bitter rivals. All of India’s key hitters were eliminated by Shahid Afridi, who also prevented them from lowering their score. For Pakistan, a score of 152 was the ideal result and a straightforward goal.
