The duo now holds the record second-highest partnership for any wicket in T20 cricket. Japan's opening duo Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake and Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming currently have that record with an unbeaten 258-run partnership for the first wicket against China on February 15, 2024, played at Mong Kok. Notably, this is also the second-highest opening stand in the history of men's T20 cricket.
Overall, including men's and women's cricket, this partnership stands sixth in the list led by Argentina women's opener Lucia Taylor and Albertina Galan's 350-run stand for the first wicket, recorded on October 13, 2023.
Dhaka Capitals' 254/1 score is the highest-ever score in BPL history. Dhaka’s total of 254/1 is the first-ever 250+ score in BPL history.
Litton got to his hundred off 44 balls, which makes it the second-fastest by a Bangladeshi player in men's T20s, behind Parvez Hossain's 42-ball hundred for Fortune Barishal in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup in December 2020. He finished fourth on the list of highest scores at the BPL, behind two efforts from Chris Gayle and one from Tamim Iqbal.
