The batsmen who open the matches in T20 World Cup do not necessarily work wonders as they are expected to do. So, the situation may be really bad if the expectations from the 10th wicket partnerships are increased. In some cases, the batsmen of a particular team are not as good as the bowlers of the other team and are often run out because of their inability to withstand the skilled bowlers. Mostly, it happens in such cases that the reliance on the 10th wicket partnership rises, and efforts are made by the team to still make a difference in one way or another.
The following are the names of the players who have the highest 10th wicket partnership runs in the T20 World Cup:

Cricket is regarded as an unpredictable sport because it cannot be judged that the game is lost or won until it is done. The one such unpredictable factor is that the last wicket pair scores heavy runs. In 10th wicket partnerships in cricket, there have been numerous occasions in which the last wicket pair got together and scored valuable runs.
India won the inaugural World Cup in 2007. Cricket is the World’s second most popular spectator sport. There are only two occasions when the partnership has reached the twenty- run mark in the T20 World Cup partnership match.
