Complete falls of wicket details are only known for 42 of the 103 matches in which play took place but sufficient data also exists for a further 28 matches to make it possible to identify all qualifying partnerships therein. However, there is inadequate information for the remaining 33 matches, so some qualifying partnerships are certain to be missing from this list.
