ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Hridoy, Jaker break all-time Bangladesh and Champions Trophy records with 154-run partnership

Hridoy Jaker record partnership

Towhid Hriody and Jaker Ali stitched together a record sixth-wicket partnership of 154 runs to rescue Bangladesh against India in the Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai. 

Bangladesh were in big trouble early in their innings after they chose to bat first. Mohammed Shami struck in the first over before Axar Patel was denied a hat-trick by Rohit Sharma when he spilled an easy chance in the ninth over. Between those two events, Bangladesh had slipped to 35-5.

The batter Rohit dropped was Jaker Ali, who along with Hridoy, went on to put together one of the most remarkable partnerships in Bangladesh's ODI history. The pair didn't look at ease against the India spin trio of Axar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav, but managed to fight their way through to take Bangladesh to 189-5 before the stand was broken in the 43rd over. It gave them a platform to put up a potentially defendable total.

      What records did Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy break with their partnership?

      The 154-run stand is the highest partnership for the sixth wicket or lower in the history of the Champions Trophy, going past Mark Boucher and Justin Kemp's 131-run stand for South Africa against Pakistan in the 2006 edition.

      It is also the highest sixth-wicket partnership in the ODI history of Bangladesh, going past the unbeaten 150-run stand shared between Jaker and Mahmudullah in the previous ODI that they played against West Indies in December 2024.
