This article will list down the top 10 highest partnership scores in ODI for any wicket.
Batting in partnerships comes with expertise and understanding between the batsmen. Rotating the strikes with right calling between the wickets is a pure joy that only cricketers and their fans possess. It is always good to see two batsmen at either end getting a quick single with the right call to action. From there, building onto a big aggregate by batting deep and long will only put the team in a commanding position.
