And so there was a demand for a change in the Babar-Rizwan pair in the opening T20 format in Pakistan. Babar and Rizwan gave a toothless answer to the criticisms that have been going on for the past few days on the field. Not only did they respond, but they also created a world record that no one else has except the Pakistan team.

Chasing 200 runs, Pakistan secured an incredible 10-wicket victory over England in the second T20I in Karachi on Thursday. Babar Azam and Rizwan left the field after reaching the port of victory in the opening. They made a pair of 203 runs, where the Pakistan captain’s contribution was 110* from 66 balls and Rizwan’s unbeaten 88 runs from 51 balls.

Pakistan has created a great world record with such a great pair. That is – the highest 10-wicket win in the history of T20I. There is no other record for most runs chased without a wicket. After Thursday’s match, New Zealand moved to the second position in this record. The Kiwis won by 169 runs by 10 wickets in Hamilton in 2016 against Pakistan. Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson left the field after winning the opening match.

The third record also belongs to Pakistan. It was against arch-rivals India. In the 2021 T20 World Cup, chasing 152 runs, this pair of Babar-Rizwan won the team without a wicket. In other words, the name of Pakistan is involved in the first three in the record of winning by 10 wickets in pursuit of the highest run in T20.
