Fortune Barishal batters Shakib Al Hasan and Iftikhar Ahmed broke multiple records while batting against Rangpur Riders in the 18th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2023.
Skipper Shakib joined hands with Iftikhar Ahmed in the sixth over of the first innings, and the two went berserk as Fortune Barishal registered a magnificent 67-run victory.
Shakib and Iftikhar shared an unbeaten 192-run stand for the fifth wicket, the highest ever for the fifth wicket in the history of T20 cricket.
Batting at Chattogram on January 19, they broke Adam Hose and Dan Mousley’s previously held record of a 171-run partnership, which they had set in 2020 during a Vitality Blast fixture.
