Highest Partnerships in Cricket World Cup History (1975-2023)
Cricket’s long formats demand patience and teamwork, and the ICC Cricket World Cup has witnessed remarkable partnerships that have left a mark in the record books. In the 2015 World Cup, Marlon Samuels and Chris Gayle of West Indies set an unbeaten record with a massive 372-run partnership against Zimbabwe. This record remains unchallenged.
The significance of strong partnerships in One-Day Internationals cannot be overstated, as they shift momentum and boost the confidence of the batting side. The previous best partnership was between India’s Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, who scored 318 runs against Sri Lanka in the 1999 World Cup.
