Top 5 current opening pairs in ODI cricket

#2 Jason Roy and Johnny Bairstow (England)

England v Bangladesh - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Certainly among the red-hot favourties to win World Cup 2019, England are blessed with one of the most balanced squads in the tournament. Opening this mean-looking side are Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, both of whom are counted among the most destructive batsmen in the world. On a given day (NO, on any day), they are more than capable of smashing the opposition all over the ground.

The pair has one of the highest averages among all opening pairs, which is a staggering 62.62. They have notched up 1816 runs in 29 innings. Together, they have got 8 century partnerships, with the highest being 174 against Australia. Their most recent feat came against Bangladesh in the ongoing World Cup where they set up a 128-run opening stand.
