A partnership is the runs added while two batters are together. Enter each batter's contribution and any extras to total the stand.
Calculate partnership
Fill in the fields and select Calculate.
What you'll need
To use the partnership calculator, have these figures ready:
- Batter one runs — for example, 60.
- Batter two runs — for example, 45.
- Extras (optional) — for example, 8.
The calculator then returns the partnership runs the moment you press calculate.
How it works
Partnership = batter one runs + batter two runs + extras during the stand
You enter the batter one runs and batter two runs, and the calculator returns the partnership runs using the formula above.
When to Use
Use the partnership calculator to analyse batting partnerships in cricket. Partnerships are the building blocks of an innings, and breaking them down helps coaches identify which batting pairs work best together, how runs are shared between partners, and where the momentum shifted during a match.
What the result tells you
A partnership total shows how much two batters added together, which is often where a match is won or lost. Large partnerships steady an innings after early wickets or accelerate it at the death. Comparing a stand against the run rate during it tells you whether the pair built a platform or pushed the scoring along.
Benchmarks & Interpretation
Here is how typical results are categorized and interpreted:
| Value / Range | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Below 20 | Short | A brief partnership that did not build pressure on the bowling side. |
| 20 – 50 | Useful | A handy partnership that stabilises the innings without being match-defining. |
| 50 – 100 | Significant | A strong partnership that shifts the game. Often includes a fifty from one batter. |
| 100 – 150 | Major | A century partnership that usually puts the batting side in a dominant position. |
| 150+ | Match-winning | An outstanding partnership. Rare and often decisive in determining the match result. |
Pro Tips & Advice
Building long partnerships requires communication between batters. Call early and clearly for runs, support each other through tough spells, and take turns being the aggressor. Successful partnerships often feature one player anchoring (taking more of the strike during tough overs) while the other attacks when the field is set defensively. Reviewing partnership data after a match helps coaches design better batting combinations.

Worked example
If one batter makes 60, the other 45 and 8 came in extras, the partnership is 60 + 45 + 8, which is 113.

What is the highest partnership in international cricket?
The highest partnership in Test cricket is 624 runs between Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene for Sri Lanka against South Africa in 2006.
How do partnerships affect a team's chances of winning?
Research shows that teams with at least one 100-run partnership in an innings win significantly more often than teams without. Partnerships build scoreboard pressure and tire the bowling attack.
