The biggest run chases in women's T20

Computed from ball-by-ball data · 16 June 2026

When West Indies hunted down 213 against Australia at North Sydney Oval in 2023, they set a benchmark that still towers over women's T20 cricket. It remains the highest successful chase across all formats, a T20I effort that no team has since matched.

The list that follows is dominated by one competition and one franchise. Royal Challengers Bengaluru appear no fewer than three times, underlining their appetite for chasing down imposing totals in the WPL. Their 204 against Delhi Capitals at Kotambi Stadium in 2026 is the second-highest successful chase on record, and it came at the very ground where they had earlier tracked down 202 against Gujarat Giants in 2025. Add their 189 against the same Gujarat Giants at Brabourne Stadium in 2023, and RCB's credentials as the great chasers of the women's game are hard to dispute.

Mumbai Indians are the other franchise to feature twice, and intriguingly both of their entries came against Gujarat Giants. They reeled in 193 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in 2026 and 191 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2024, meaning Gujarat's totals have repeatedly proven vulnerable to Mumbai's batting depth.

International cricket punctuates the WPL run. England chased 199 against India at Brabourne Stadium in 2018, while South Africa gunned down 193 against India at The Wanderers Stadium in 2026, sharing that mark with Mumbai's Dr DY Patil effort.

Australia's domestic scene closes out the top ten, with Hobart Hurricanes chasing 189 against Perth Scorchers at Bellerive Oval in 2025 and Melbourne Renegades running down 186 against Adelaide Strikers at Karen Rolton Oval in 2024. Across T20Is, the WPL and the WBBL, the message is clear: 200 is no longer safe.
