3) Loots Bosman and Graeme Smith (South Africa)
In a game at Centurion towards the end of 2009, South Africa posted an unbelievable 241 runs against England. The Proteas went on to the win the game by a whopping 84 runs, but a large part of the victory was due to the efforts of Loots Bosman and Graeme Smith.
The openers raced their way to 170 runs in 13.1 overs before Smith got out for 88. Although Bosman survived for three more overs, he too failed to reach his century, falling six runs short.
The pair opened for South Africa in 11 T20Is apart from this game and ended as the 5th most successful opening pair – racking up 650 runs at an average of nearly 60.
