Top 10 Players with Most Fours in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup
1. Suzie Bates (New Zealand) — 132 Fours
Suzie Bates is the joint all-time leader for most fours in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The New Zealand opener played 42 matches between 2009 and 2024, scoring 1,216 runs at an average of 31.17 with a strike rate of 111.05.
Her eight half-centuries across five editions reflect remarkable consistency at the top of the order, making her the cornerstone of New Zealand’s batting line-up across generations.
2. Alyssa Healy (Australia) — 132 Fours
Alyssa Healy shares the record with Bates, reaching 132 fours in just 39 innings compared to Bates’s 42, underlining her superior scoring rate. The Australian wicket-keeper batter averaged 28.80 across 42 matches with a strike rate of 129.39, among the highest on this list.
Healy played a defining role in Australia’s multiple World Cup triumphs and is one of the most destructive openers in the history of the women’s game.
3. Meg Lanning (Australia) — 121 Fours
Meg Lanning is the only player on this list with a T20 World Cup century, having scored 126 against Ireland in 2020. The former Australian captain accumulated 121 fours across 35 matches at an outstanding average of 39.68, with 992 runs in 32 innings.
Lanning retired from international cricket in 2023 as one of the most decorated captains in women’s cricket history, leading Australia to four T20 World Cup titles.
4. Charlotte Edwards (England) — 99 Fours
Charlotte Edwards delivered 99 fours across just 24 matches between 2009 and 2016, averaging 36.57 at a strike rate of 103.92.
The former England captain was one of the most technically accomplished openers of her era and a genuine pioneer of the women’s T20 format. Her five half-centuries in the tournament reflect a player who consistently delivered when England needed a platform at the top.
5. Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka) — 95 Fours
Chamari Athapaththu is the only Sri Lankan on this list and the country’s greatest ever batter in the shortest format.
She hit 95 fours across 32 matches spanning 2009 to 2024, scoring 711 runs despite the limited team support around her. Known for her aggressive strokeplay and ability to single-handedly shift momentum, Athapaththu remains Sri Lanka’s most dangerous batting weapon in global T20 tournaments.
6. Stafanie Taylor (West Indies) — 94 Fours
Stafanie Taylor is West Indies’ most reliable batter in T20 World Cup history, scoring 1,014 runs across 35 matches at an average of 37.55.
Her 94 fours came at a controlled strike rate of 94.67, reflecting a player who builds innings rather than blazes from the start. Taylor’s six half-centuries in the tournament cement her status as one of the finest all-round cricketers the Caribbean has produced.
7. Beth Mooney (Australia) — 86 Fours
Beth Mooney is the most efficient player on this list in terms of conversion rate, averaging 41.77 across 28 matches with 752 runs in just 25 innings.
Her 86 fours came at a strike rate of 116.40, and her unbeaten 81 is her highest score in the tournament. Mooney is the glue of Australia’s modern batting line-up and was Player of the Tournament at the 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on home soil.
8. Nat Sciver-Brunt (England) — 84 Fours
Nat Sciver-Brunt has been England’s most consistent middle-order batter in T20 World Cups, scoring 738 runs across 29 matches at an average of 38.84.
Her 84 fours came in 27 innings at a strike rate of 116.95, with seven half-centuries underlining her reliability in pressure situations. Sciver-Brunt combines elegant timing with the ability to accelerate deep into innings, making her one of the hardest batters to bowl at in the women’s game.
9. Mithali Raj (India) — 79 Fours
Mithali Raj was India’s most dependable batter across all formats and scored 726 runs across 24 T20 World Cup matches at an outstanding average of 40.33.
Her 79 fours came at a strike rate of 97.31, reflecting her classical, ground-based batting style. Raj’s five half-centuries in the tournament speak to her consistency, even if India never quite managed to win the title during her era from 2009 to 2018.
10. Deandra Dottin (West Indies) — 73 Fours
Deandra Dottin rounds out the list with 73 fours and holds a unique distinction: she is the only player here with a T20 World Cup century as well as the highest six count on this list with 31.
Dottin scored 770 runs across 35 matches at a strike rate of 127.90, combining boundary-hitting power with genuine six-hitting ability. Her 112 not out remains one of the most explosive innings in Women’s T20 World Cup history.
