Partnerships are an important aspect of a cricket match, be it with the bowling or batting. This becomes even more critical in the T20 format, where each run and wicket matters the most.
A formidable alliance between 2 batters sets the momentum in the right direction, helping the team put pressure on the opponent. Moreover, it showcases how well the 2 batters gel together and back each other on the pitch.
In the Women’s Premier League (WPL), batters have put forth some of the most exhilarating partnerships. Here are the top 10 highest partnerships by runs in WPL history.
