ODI Cricket Partnership Records and Statistics – Highest Partnerships by Wicket

While some squads rely heavily on their bowling attack, others on their batting, while others strike a good balance between the two. A strong start is essential at the World Cup when the stakes are so high. Teams have benefited from strategic alliances over the years and tournament iterations that gave them a head start or guaranteed consistent revenue. They were only able to succeed with the help of these alliances. In spite of their best efforts, these two ultimately lost.

West Indies batted 50 overs.Chris Gayle blasted 16 sixes, and 215 runs off 147 balls before being removed on the last ball of the innings. He would have set a match record for maximums.

It was Azharuddin’s highest score to date, his unbeaten 153 off 150 deliveries. Ajay Jadeja ably supported him with 116 runs off 121 deliveries, and India finished with 301/3. Zimbabwe were in contention until the spinners stifled them, resulting in their final 32-run victory. Even after twenty years, this remains the greatest fourth-wicket partnership.

It was David Miller and JP Duminy’s unbeaten stand of 256 that helped South Africa defeat Zimbabwe at the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.

There is still a lot to be learned about the rest of the history. Sri Lanka was dismissed for 252 in response to 360, with only Dilshan being dismissed for 116.
