Big partnerships serve to exhaust and demoralize the fielding teams in addition to piling up runs on the scoreboard. In the shortest format of the game, such a partnership can take the game away from an opposition. T20 is a popular version of the game commanding massive fan-following. In 20 overs if two batsmen get on a roll, it can demoralize the opposition to no end. The format is generally played on flat batting surfaces where bowlers have difficult in keeping the runs down. Here’s a look at ten incredible and the highest partnerships in T20Is.
