Pakistani pair Rafatullah Mohmand and Aamer Sajjad set a world record for second wicket partnership Sunday in a first class match at Sheikhupura Stadium.

Sajjad hit 36 boundaries while Mohmand smashed 34 fours. Wapda finished the match at 671-2 in reply to SSGC’s first innings effort of 466 all out.
