Top 5 run-getters in women's international cricket

Women's international cricket has produced several prolific batters whose run tallies span Tests, ODIs and T20Is. The all-time list sees a mix of players from India, New Zealand, England and the West Indies in the top five.

On September 3 2026, Smriti Mandhana moved to the top of that list during the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026 in Dubai, surpassing a record that had stood for some time. Here is a look at the five leading run-getters in women's international cricket.

5. Stafanie Taylor - 10,007 runs

Stafanie Taylor is a West Indies all-rounder who has crossed 10,000 runs in women's international cricket, placing her fifth on the all-time list with 10,007 runs. Taylor has been the cornerstone of West Indies women's cricket for many years, contributing with both bat and ball. She has represented the West Indies in ODIs and T20Is and has been one of the most influential players in the Caribbean region's women's cricket setup. Her milestone of 10,000 international runs marks her as one of the few women cricketers to reach that landmark across all formats combined.
