What Is a Batting Partnership in Cricket?
A batting partnership is the combined runs scored by two batters while they are at the crease together. Partnerships are numbered by wicket — the 1st wicket partnership is between the two openers, the 2nd wicket partnership follows the first dismissal, and so on up to the 10th wicket partnership.
Partnership analysis is critical for understanding which pairs of batters were most productive and how the innings unfolded. A team might score 280 in an ODI, but if three batters in a row scored 80+ in partnerships of 120+, it reveals a very different innings structure than if 10 batters each contributed 28 in small stands.
The total partnership includes all runs scored — by both batters plus any extras (wides, no-balls, byes, leg-byes) conceded during that stand. Our calculator separates extras so you can see each batter's individual contribution as a percentage of the batting runs (excluding extras).

What is a batting partnership in cricket?
A batting partnership is the total runs scored while two batters are at the crease together between two wickets. It includes runs scored by both batters off the bat plus any extras (wides, no-balls, byes, leg-byes) conceded by the bowling side during that period.
Why does the calculator ask for extras separately?
A partnership total includes extras conceded during that stand. By entering extras separately, the calculator shows the true total partnership while also accurately calculating each batter's individual contribution as a percentage of batting runs. Without separating extras, the percentages would be skewed.
How is contribution percentage calculated?
Contribution percentage = (Batter's Runs ÷ Total Batting Runs) × 100, where Total Batting Runs = Batter 1 + Batter 2 (excluding extras). For example, if Batter 1 scores 60 and Batter 2 scores 40, Batter 1's contribution is 60%, Batter 2's is 40%. The extras portion is shown separately as a percentage of the total partnership.
What counts as a good partnership in cricket?
Context matters greatly. In T20 cricket, a 50+ run partnership is excellent, and 80+ is match-defining. In ODIs, a 100-run partnership is considered very good. In Test cricket, a 150+ partnership is typically match-defining, and 200+ partnerships are rare achievements that often decide matches. The wicket at which the partnership occurs also matters significantly.
Can I calculate a partnership with more than two batters?
A cricket partnership by definition involves exactly two batters (the two at the crease simultaneously). If a runner was used historically, the runs still count to the batter's total. For longer passage-of-play analysis involving multiple batters, you would calculate each wicket partnership separately using this tool for each pair.
How is this useful for fantasy cricket?
In fantasy cricket, partnership data helps identify which batters tend to anchor innings and which accelerate. If a batter consistently scores 30–40% of partnerships with a high run rate, they add significant value. Analysing recent partnerships can help predict likely contributions in upcoming matches.
