All the records broken at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026

Australia extended their own record by winning a seventh ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title, defeating hosts England in front of a record crowd at Lord’s.

The 10th edition of the tournament was the biggest in history, with 12 teams competing for the first time. Fittingly, players and teams combined to make the event in England and Wales one to remember, rewriting the record books along the way.

Here we look at all the records created during the tournament:

302: Danni Wyatt-Hodge made history by scoring the most runs in a single edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, surpassing Beth Mooney’s 259 from the 2020 tournament. In doing so, she also became the first player to cross the 300-run mark in a single edition.

219: The two finalists, England and Australia, now share the record for the highest team total in Women's T20 World Cup history. England broke their own previous best of 213/5, set in 2023, by posting 219/1 in the tournament opener against Sri Lanka. Australia matched the mark a week later with a commanding 219/6 against debutants Netherlands.

362: The England-Scotland clash at Leeds produced the highest match aggregate in Women's T20 World Cup history, breaking the previous record of 354 set by India and New Zealand in 2020. England recovered from an early wobble to post 200/5 before Scotland fought until the final ball, finishing on 162/7.

3:  The 2026 edition produced the most centuries in a single Women's T20 World Cup, surpassing the previous record of 2 set in 2020.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge became the tournament's first centurion with an unbeaten 105 from 62 balls against Sri Lanka. Eleven days later, Chamari Athapaththu continued her love affair with Bristol, smashing an unbeaten 106 from 61 balls against Ireland to keep Sri Lanka's campaign alive. Tazmin Brits then registered her maiden T20I century with an unbeaten 114 from 69 balls against the Netherlands after returning to the side midway through the tournament.

71: Fatima Sana and Tuba Hassan recorded the highest ninth-wicket partnership in Women's T20 World Cup history.

With Pakistan reeling at 50/8, captain Fatima Sana led the resistance. Alongside Tuba Hassan, the pair launched a remarkable counter-attack, adding 71 from just 54 deliveries to lift Pakistan to a competitive 126.

12: There were some remarkable partnerships throughout the tournament, with 12 century stands recorded - double the previous record of 6, set in 2023.

Australia featured in four of them, including Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield's match-defining partnership in the Final. England were involved in three, while another memorable stand came from the Bryce sisters, whose 106-run partnership against Ireland secured Scotland's first-ever Women's T20 World Cup victory.

54: Ellyse Perry is the synonym for longevity. The Australian great became the first player across men's and women's T20 World Cups to reach 50 appearances when she took the field against the Netherlands on June 20. She finished Australia's victorious campaign with 54 World Cup caps.

5: Before this edition, only one 200+ total had ever been recorded at a Women's T20 World Cup - England's 213/5 against Pakistan in 2023.

The 2026 tournament produced 5 scores of 200 or more, the most in a single edition. England contributed two, against Sri Lanka and Scotland, while Australia, India and South Africa completed the list with commanding batting displays against the Netherlands.

172/4: A high-stakes clash between Australia and India at Lord's delivered one of the tournament's defining contests.

India posted 170, knowing victory would seal the second semi-final spot from Group A. Australia, however, had other plans. Ellyse Perry once again rose to the occasion with a composed 56, sharing a match-winning 100-run partnership with Ash Gardner as the pair paced the chase to perfection and guided Australia to 172/4, ending India's hopes.

51: That was some return from retirement for Shabnim Ismail.

The South African pace spearhead returned to the World Cup stage after nearly three years and reminded everyone why she remains one of the game's most feared fast bowlers. Beginning the tournament on 43 Women's T20 World Cup wickets, Ismail claimed eight wickets during the campaign—the joint-most by a South African player—to take her overall tally to 51, becoming the first player to reach 50 wickets in Women's T20 World Cup history.

3: Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Ellyse Perry proved to be the standout match-winners for England and Australia respectively, each collecting 3 Player of the Match awards during the tournament.

Wyatt-Hodge earned her honours against Sri Lanka, New Zealand and West Indies, while Perry was recognised for her performances against Bangladesh, Pakistan and India.

Their three awards are the most by any player in this edition and the joint-second most in Women's T20 World Cup history, alongside Nat Sciver-Brunt (2023) and Anya Shrubsole (2014). Only Alyssa Healy, with 4 awards in 2018, has recorded more.
