Span: 2009–2024 | Matches: 35 | Runs: 770 | HS: 112* | SR: 127.90
Deandra Dottin is in a league of her own. With 31 sixes, more than 12 clear of the second-placed players, she is the undisputed queen of power-hitting in Women’s T20 World Cup history.
Her 38-ball century (112*) against South Africa in 2010 remains the fastest hundred in Women’s T20 cricket, featuring nine sixes in a single innings. In 2024 alone, she hammered nine sixes across five matches, the most by any batter in that edition.
Key stats:
- 31 sixes — nearly double the tally of any other player on this list
- Fastest century in Women’s T20Is: 112* off 38 balls (2010 World Cup)

2. Harmanpreet Kaur (India) — 19 Sixes
Span: 2009–2024 | Matches: 39 | Runs: 726 | HS: 103 | SR: 112.21
Harmanpreet Kaur is India’s most explosive batter in Women’s T20 World Cup history. Her 19 sixes place her joint-second all-time, and her century of 103 underlines that she is equally capable of building a big innings as she is smashing it.
As India’s captain, she has consistently delivered in high-pressure moments, a big six from Harmanpreet can shift an entire match.
Key stats:
- Joint-second most sixes (19) alongside Sophie Devine
- One of only two players on this list with both a century and 15+ sixes
- 39 matches played — the most World Cup appearances of any player in the top 5
3. Sophie Devine (New Zealand) — 19 Sixes
Span: 2009–2024 | Matches: 38 | Runs: 785 | HS: 75* | SR: 111.82
Sophie Devine is New Zealand’s most consistent attacking batter across Women’s T20 World Cup history. With 19 sixes and 785 runs across 38 matches, she combines longevity with power, a rare combination in any format.
Her best score of 75* shows she can anchor and accelerate, and she is the second-highest six-hitter across all Women’s T20Is overall (98 sixes in the format).
Key stats:
- Joint-second most sixes (19) alongside Harmanpreet Kaur
- Second-most sixes in Women’s T20Is overall (98), just behind Dottin (105)
- 785 runs — the highest total among the joint-second group on this list

4. Alyssa Healy (Australia) — 15 Sixes
Span: 2010–2024 | Matches: 42 | Runs: 1,008 | HS: 83 | SR: 129.39
Alyssa Healy’s strike rate of 129.39 is the highest among all 10 players on this list, and her 15 sixes reflect her role as Australia’s attacking wicketkeeper-opener.
She is one of only three players on this list with 1,000+ World Cup runs, and her ability to clear the ropes from ball one makes her one of the most feared openers in Women’s T20 cricket.
Key stats:
- Highest strike rate of any player in the top 10 (129.39)
- One of only three players to score 1,000+ runs in Women’s T20 World Cup history

5. Chloe Tryon (South Africa) — 13 Sixes
Span: 2010–2024 | Matches: 31 | Runs: 358 | HS: 40 | SR: 120.53
Chloe Tryon is the pure power-hitter of this list. Her 13 sixes from just 26 innings, with a top score of only 40, makes her record extraordinary — she hits sixes without ever building a big score.
A designated finisher for South Africa, Tryon is consistently one of the most destructive death-overs batters in the Women’s game. Her presence in South Africa’s middle order has made them a genuine World Cup contender.
Key stats:
- 13 sixes from 358 runs — the best six-to-run ratio on this entire list
- Zero fifties or hundreds yet 13 sixes — pure hitting impact
- Strike rate of 120.53 — among the highest of the group
6. Stafanie Taylor (West Indies) — 13 Sixes
Span: 2009–2024 | Matches: 35 | Runs: 1,014 | HS: 59 | SR: 94.67
Stafanie Taylor’s 13 sixes sit within a broader record of remarkable consistency, she is one of only three players in Women’s T20 World Cup history to score 1,000+ runs.
A technically correct batter rather than a natural power-hitter, her 13 sixes from 35 matches show that she picks her moments to attack. Taylor has been West Indies’ most important batter across the full history of the tournament.
Key stats:
- One of three players to cross 1,000 Women’s T20 World Cup runs (1,014)
- 94 fours and 13 sixes — the most well-rounded boundary record on this list
- 15 years of Women’s T20 World Cup appearances from 2009 to 2024
7. Ellyse Perry (Australia) — 12 Sixes
Span: 2009–2024 | Matches: 47 | Runs: 503 | HS: 42 | SR: 113.80
Ellyse Perry’s 12 sixes from 47 matches, the most appearances of any player on this list, tell a story of all-round excellence rather than batting dominance alone.
Perry’s value to Australia extends far beyond her bat, as one of the greatest all-rounders in Women’s cricket history. Her sixes often come in decisive moments when Australia need a late push.
Key stats:
- Most Women’s T20 World Cup appearances of any player on this list (47)
- 12 sixes as a lower-order contributor — each one typically match-crucial
- Two of the world’s most decorated all-rounders (Perry and Lanning) both appear from Australia in this list
8. Meg Lanning (Australia) — 12 Sixes
Span: 2012–2023 | Matches: 35 | Runs: 992 | HS: 126 | SR: 112.72
Meg Lanning is one of the greatest Women’s T20 World Cup batters of all time, captain, centurion, and champion. Her 12 sixes are part of a 992-run record that includes the highest individual score in Women’s T20 World Cup history, 126 against Ireland in 2014.
That innings alone featured four sixes. Lanning led Australia to multiple World Cup titles, combining elegance with measured aggression.
Key stats:
- Scored the highest individual innings in Women’s T20 World Cup history (126 vs Ireland, 2014)
- 992 runs — just eight short of the elite 1,000-run club
- Led Australia to multiple T20 World Cup titles as captain
- Joint-7th most sixes alongside Ellyse Perry
9. Smriti Mandhana (India) — 11 Sixes
Span: 2014–2024 | Matches: 25 | Runs: 524 | HS: 87 | SR: 114.41
Smriti Mandhana is India’s most stylish opening batter, and her 11 sixes from just 25 matches shows an impressive return for a player who bats at the top of the order in only 20-over games.
Her elegant left-handed strokeplay makes her sixes look effortless. With a top score of 87, she is more than capable of anchoring a big innings and finishing with authority.
Key stats:
- 11 sixes from 25 matches — an efficient ratio for an opening batter
- Best score of 87 — the highest top score among the three Indian players on this list without a century
- Strike rate of 114.41 — highest among all three Indian players in the top 10
10. Shafali Verma (India) — 10 Sixes
Span: 2020–2024 | Matches: 14 | Runs: 362 | HS: 47 | SR: 125.25
Shafali Verma’s record is the most extraordinary of all. 10 sixes from just 14 matches — and she is still only in the early years of her career. Her strike rate of 125.25 is second only to Alyssa Healy among the top 10.
A fearless powerplay destroyer, Shafali announced herself on the world stage as a teenager and has been one of India’s most exciting T20 openers ever since.
Key stats:
