In the history of the T20 World Cup, the Australian team has faced many times when their player at the 11th position needed to bat and perform but the 11th position player is normally a bowler who is not skilled enough to make big runs. Let’s check out some of the cases where Australian players in the 11th position make 10th wicket partnership in the T20 World Cup for Australia.
- Xavier Doherty and Mitchell Starc (10 Runs in 2012)
The pair of Xavier Doherty and Mitchell Starc is listed at the top position for making the highest 10th wicket partnership in the T20 World Cup for Australia. In the 2nd semi-final competition of T20 World Cup 2012 against West Indies, Australia got the target of 206 runs to reach the final but they could make only 131 runs in reply in which Doherty and Starc contributed 10 runs in pair for the last wicket.
- Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc (6 Runs in 2021)
The pair of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc is at the 2nd position for making 6 runs in a pair for the 10th wicket in the T20 World Cup for Australia. While playing against England in T20 World Cup 2021, Australia put a total of 125 runs on the scoreboard in which Hazlewood and Starc added 6 runs for the 10th wicket and England won that match by 8 wickets in just 11.4 overs.
- Nathan Bracken and Mitchell Johnson (4* Runs in 2009)
The pair of Nathan Bracken and Mitchell Johnson stands at the number 3 position for hitting unbeaten 4 runs in a pair for the 10th wicket in T20 World Cup for Australia. The Australian batters set a target of 160 runs for Sri Lanka in the 8th match of ICC T20 World Cup 2009, where Sri Lankan batters did not have any difficulties in achieving the target, and finally won the match by 6 wickets.
