The fourth wicket partnership in cricket is important for a team since it can help to steady the innings after the first three wickets fall. This combo has the potential to win a match in T20 International cricket. This article will look at the highest fourth-wicket partnerships in T20 International cricket history. It will highlight the outstanding performances of the teams and players who have created these alliances, and it will be a fascinating read for cricket fans and experts alike.
Highest 4th Wicket Partnership in T20 International Forever
In the history of T20 International games, there have been 23 instances in which a side has scored 100+ runs for the fourth wicket. David Warner and Glen Maxwell established the first fourth wicket stand of 100+ runs against South Africa in Johannesburg, where Australia lost the first three wickets for just three runs while attempting to reach a lofty target of 205 runs. On March 6, 2016, Maxwell and Warner’s 161-run fourth-wicket partnership, however, changed the game and led to a victory. With a massive target of 246 runs to reach, K L Rahul performed a fantastic inning, scoring an unbroken 110 runs. The best T20I fourth wicket partnership for the West Indies is an unbroken 87 runs between D Bravo and N Pooran against India in Chennai on November 11, 2018. It is remarkable that the West Indies has never reached that level.
4th Wicket Partnerships
In T20 Internationals, Pakistani batsmen have shared the most 100+ run partnerships for the fourth wicket with four totals of four, followed by New Zealand with three, England with three, South Africa with three, India with two, Bangladesh with one, and Australia with one. A team like the United Arab Emirates has also accomplished this feat twice. Shaiman Anwar and Rameez Shahzad scored the first goal against P.N.G. in Abu Dhabi on April 14, 2017, and the second goal against the same opponent the following day.
It will be thrilling to observe further middle-order batsman records of 100+ runs in the future.
