Top 3 batters with most centuries in Women's International Cricket

Women's international cricket has produced several prolific run-scorers over the years, but only a handful of batters have reached triple figures on a consistent basis across formats. The race for the most centuries in women's internationals has long been one of the most closely watched records in the game.

On September 3, 2026, Smriti Mandhana moved to the top of that list with a stunning knock against Hong Kong in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Her innings of 124 off 64 balls gave her an outright record of 18 international centuries, moving her ahead of the previous joint record-holders.

Here are top 3 batters with most centuries in Women's International Cricket:

3. Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa) — 17 centuries

South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt sits third on the all-time list with 17 international centuries, made up of 1 Test hundred, 13 in ODIs and 3 in T20Is. She is one of very few women to have scored a century in each of the three international formats, a distinction that underlines the breadth of her batting ability.

Wolvaardt reached the 17-century mark in April 2026 when she struck a 47-ball hundred in the third T20I against India, which stands as the fastest T20I century by a South Africa women's batter. That knock placed her level with Meg Lanning and Mandhana at the time, making her achievement all the more remarkable.
