The biggest six-hitters in women's T20 history

When it comes to clearing the rope in women's T20 cricket, one name towers above the rest. Across all formats covered here — T20 internationals since 2005 and the major women's leagues including the WBBL and WPL — Sophie Devine sits atop the list with a staggering 270 sixes. That figure is not just a lead; it is a chasm. The New Zealander has hit 104 more sixes than anyone else, doing so from 5843 balls at a rate of one every 21.64 deliveries.

Behind her, Ashleigh Gardner is the closest challenger with 166 sixes from 3795 balls, clearing the boundary every 22.86 deliveries. Lizelle Lee follows on 158 (one every 23.05 balls), giving the top three a clear separation from the chasing pack.

Harmanpreet Kaur (147) and Ellyse Perry (146) are separated by a single six, but their methods differ sharply. Harmanpreet needs 31.98 balls per six, while Perry — the busiest bat on this list with 6480 deliveries faced — clears the rope only once every 44.38 balls, the least frequent striker among the ten.

The most explosive names, though, sit further down. Grace Harris (133 sixes) hits one every 22.08 balls, and Deandra Dottin, with 117 sixes from just 2547 balls, boasts the best strike-frequency of all at 21.77 — narrowly ahead of even Devine. Shafali Verma (127 from 2805) is right there too at 22.09.

Smriti Mandhana (130) and Alyssa Healy (118) round out the group, both operating at a more measured 35.70 and 36.45 balls per six respectively.

The takeaway is simple: Devine dominates the volume charts, but for sheer frequency, Dottin, Harris and Shafali swing hardest of all.
