Most runs in Women T20Is

Harmanpreet Kaur became the first-ever cricketer in the world to play the 150th T20I match when she appeared against Ireland. She scored 13 runs and became the first Indian cricketer to reach the 3000-run mark in T20Is. Only three women cricketers have scored more runs in T20Is so far. So, let’s take a look at the top three leading run-getters in women’s T20Is.

3. 3166 runs – Stafanie Taylor

The experienced West Indies batter is third among the leading run-getters in T20I cricket and is part of West Indies team in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2023. The right-handed top-order batter top-scored 42 runs for her team against India in her last game before getting injured. She leads the scoring chart for West Indies with 3166 runs from 113 T20Is at an average of 35.57 and a strike rate of 100.66, including 21 fifties.

2. 3346 runs – Meg Lanning

Apart from her achievement as captain of arguably the best cricket team, Lanning has been a consistent run-getter across formats. She has scored 3346 runs from 130 T20I matches at an average of 36.36. Her strike rate of 116.14 is the best among the players with over 3000-plus runs. Lanning is among the only four cricketers with two centuries in T20I cricket and only second to Bates with 400-plus fours.

1. 3820 runs – Suzie Bates

The veteran New Zealand batter continues to dominate the T20I chart with two more fifties in the ongoing World Cup. She struggled in the first two matches but smashed back-to-back fifties to keep New Zealand alive. Bates has scored 3820 runs and also holds the record for most fifties, with 26 to his name. Considering her current form, she is set to become the first-ever female cricketer to reach the 4000-run mark in T20Is soon.
