124* Partnership between Italy’s Anthony Mosca and Justin Mosca against Nepal at the Wankhede, the highest between siblings in all T20Is. The previous highest was 119 between Scotland’s Bryce sisters Sarah and Kathryn for the second wicket against Netherlands in 2019.

The Mosca brothers are also the first pair of siblings to share a century stand at the T20 World Cup, and only the second in any ICC tournament, after Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh, who have three 100-plus stands in ODI World Cups including a 207-run partnership against Kenya in 1996.

It is the biggest win in terms of balls to spare for an Associate team at the Men’s T20 World Cup, surpassing Scotland’s 41-ball win over Oman in 2024.
