Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler, two of England’s most talented batsmen, recently set a new benchmark for the country’s cricketing history by putting on a record-breaking partnership in a recent match. The pair’s 4th wicket stand of 232 runs off 211 balls is now the fourth-highest partnership for England in ODI cricket.
Dawid Malan scored 118 (114) and Jos Buttler scored 131 (127) in the 3rd ODI against South Africa. From 20/3 in 10 overs to 346/7 by England was a great comeback. And the partnership between Malan and Buttler helped them to achieve this.
