Tuesday, 24 May 2022
Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim broke the 63-year-old record in Test cricket on Monday, reports BSS.
The duo made the highest partnership for sixth wicket after losing the first five wickets for 25 runs.
They broke the record of Wallis Mathias and Shujauddin, who added 86 after their team West Indies lost first wickets for 22 runs against Pakistan in Dhaka Stadium, which is now named as Bangabandhu National Stadium on March 06, 1959.
However, Liton and Mushfiqur went on to bring more laurel as they recorded Bangladesh's highest partnership in the sixth wicket too, keeping Sri Lanka at bay when their stand reached 192.
Mushfiqur Rahim was also involved in the previous highest sixth wicket partnership with Ashraful as they made 191 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2007.
