Women's T20 run machines
Computed from ball-by-ball data · last refreshed 16 June 2026
Beth Mooney sits at the summit of women's T20 run-scoring, and the numbers explain why. Across 275 innings she has amassed 9449 runs at an average of 43.95, paired with a strike rate of 127.95. That blend of volume, consistency and tempo is the rarest commodity in the format, and it places her comfortably clear of the chasing pack.

Behind her, Ellyse Perry's 7574 runs at 43.78 underline her status as the other great accumulator, her average almost identical to Mooney's even if her 116.88 strike rate is more measured. Sophie Devine offers a different flavour entirely: 7448 runs at a brisk 127.47 strike rate, trading a lower average of 32.67 for relentless aggression. Meg Lanning, with 6762 runs at 38.42, rounds out an elite quartet defined by their command.
The middle tier showcases the game's depth. Smriti Mandhana (6075 runs) and Alyssa Healy (5690) are the strike-rate leaders of this group at 129.37 and a table-topping 132.29 respectively, both prioritising intent at the top. Nat Sciver-Brunt (5742 at 33.00), Harmanpreet Kaur (5733 at 34.54) and Laura Wolvaardt (5594 at 32.52) blend steadiness with productivity.
Danielle Wyatt's 5373 runs come at a punchy 129.28 strike rate, while Hayley Matthews (5285) and Suzie Bates (4934) complete the list. Bates stands apart as the method player, her 107.00 strike rate the lowest here but her presence across 202 innings a testament to longevity.
Spread across T20 internationals and leagues worldwide, these twelve names capture the women's game at its richest. From Mooney's all-round mastery to Healy's fearless hitting, the variety of methods delivering these totals is proof that the women's T20 landscape has never been deeper or more compelling.
Coverage & definitionsCricsheet ball-by-ball · T20 internationals between full-member nations (2005–) and 11 major T20 leagues · data through 13 October 2026Show ▾
Source. Ball-by-ball data from Cricsheet. New matches are loaded from Cricsheet twice a day (10:00 and 22:00 UTC), typically a day or two after a match is published there.
Internationals. T20 internationals are included only when both teams are ICC full members. Fixtures against Associate nations (e.g. Netherlands, Scotland, Nepal, USA) are not in the dataset, so international totals for players who faced them are lower than their full career figures.
Leagues. Leagues: IPL, BBL, PSL, CPL, SA20, MLC, ILT20, BPL, LPL, WBBL, WPL — full history of each. Domestic T20 competitions outside this list (e.g. the Blast, SMAT, Super Smash) are not included.
Exclusions. Super overs are excluded from every total. The dataset has no playing-XI record, so match appearances can't be counted. A match where a player neither batted nor bowled is not reflected anywhere in their figures.
- Dot ball — a legal delivery (no wide or no-ball) from which no runs were scored, including byes and leg-byes.
- Economy — runs conceded per six legal balls bowled.
- Inns (bowling) — innings in which the player bowled at least one delivery. Matches where they did not bowl are not counted.
