In ODI cricket, partnership by the batsman will play a crucial role. As it is a 50-over match played by two teams and there will be only 11 wickets per team, so the batsman needs to score runs, maintain partnership and should stand in grease. If the wickets fall early, it puts pressure on the middle and down-order batsman. It is essential to score more runs better than boundaries in this format. The batsman shouldn’t give the wicket and should bring a long partnership for the team to win the match. Let us see the top 10 highest partnerships in ODI cricket.
