After that, Shakib Al Hasan started the attack with Pakistan’s star batsman Iftekhar Ahmed for the fifth wicket. They set a record by making an unbroken partnership of 192 runs in 86 balls.

On this day, they made the highest partnership (192) in the history of BPL for the fifth wicket.

Earlier last year, Chattogram Challengers’ star batsmen Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Chadwick Walton added 115 runs for the fifth wicket against Rangpur Riders.

Shahriar Nafees and Lou Vincent are the owners of the second-highest-run partnership. They scored 197 runs in the opening pair for Khulna Royal Bengal Tigers against Durunta Rajshahi.

On Thursday, Shakib-Iftekhar’s record pair made the third-highest mountain of 238 runs in BPL history. Earlier in the BPL 2019, Chattogram Challengers scored 238 runs for the loss of 4 wickets against Comilla. In the same season, Rangpur Riders scored a record 239 runs for 4 wickets against Chittagong Vikings.
