Opening partnerships are the heart of every tournament. The odds that the batting side will post a large score for the opposition team to chase or attempt to equal are better the stronger the starting stand. The greatest opening pairs are those who consistently produce large partnerships and provide a strong base at the top of the order. The success of a team depends greatly on its opening pairs.
In this article, we are listing three top opening pairs of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 222 that you should watch out for. These three players have made a significant role in cricket.
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are the one of the most lethal opening pairings for more than five years. These two can play well on any ground. They both are such versatile players that they will play a huge role and can be a vital component of India's aspirations to bounce back from a dismal showing at the T20 World Cup. Even though Rohit has a history of scoring substantially at the biggest tournaments, Rahul was India's top scorer in the tournament the previous year.
These two are so consistent and in the slam-bang edition, both have a style of batting that suits an aggressive approach. On 22nd, against Australia, these two played so well and defeated the defending champions. Conway scored 92 runs and Allen scored 42 runs off just 16 balls, laying a great foundation for the New Zealand batsmen. Allen smashed Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins all over the park and took the Australian bowlers to the cleaners.
Rizwan is currently the world's No.1 T20 batsman, according to ICC rankings and Babar is currently the world's No. 3 T20 Batsman, according to ICC rankings. These two of the top three batters have a leading opening line-up that has been unveiled by Pakistan in anticipation of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2022.
Captain Babar Azam and star keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan have scored more runs together in T20Is than any other opening pair, and arrive in ominous form following their recent displays against England and in the Asia Cup.
They were also two of Pakistan's top three run scorers last year and should once again be crucial to their chances of winning the title, as their middle order appears less reliable. However in the recent matches they were not able to perform well. But in a game of cricket anything can happen and they can perform better soon.
We have to keep patience for the final results and let’s wait for the live action. Till then get all the T20 World Cup updates only at Yolo247.
