Unfortunately, men's cricket has always dominated the world. Even today, most of us aren't aware of the names of female cricketers, no matter how brilliant they are playing. However, women's cricket has faced a revolution in the past few years. Its popularity has increased, and more women's matches are being played than ever before. Women's cricket has now been given equal status to men's cricket. This is because we have the IPL, ICC tournaments, Test matches, and BBL for both male and female cricketers. The audience finds the T20 format most exciting since it is the shortest format, and therefore, players aim to score maximum runs. This often results in players setting up massive totals for the opposition. So, let's look at some of the highest team totals in women's T20.

1. 318 Runs

The highest total ever in women’s T20 cricket is 318 Runs. It came when the Bahrain women’s team scored a whopping 318 Runs with a loss of just one wicket against the Saudi Arabia women’s team. It came in one of the matches of the GCC Women’s T20 Championship Cup in 2022. The match was played at the Al Amerat Stadium in Oman.

2. 314 Runs

For a while, 314 Runs were considered the highest total ever in women’s T20, unless Bahrain scored 318 Runs last year. In a match between Uganda and the Mali women’s cricket team, Uganda scored a massive 314 Runs with a loss of two wickets. It came during the Kwibuka Women’s T20 Tournament in 2021. Surprisingly, in the second inning, the Mali women’s cricket team was bowled out for a mere ten runs.

3. 285 Runs

In third place is when the Tanzania women’s cricket team scored 285 Runs against the Mali women’s cricket team. This match was also played during the Kwibuka Women’s T20 Tournament in 2021. Unfortunately, the Mali team was defeated by a huge margin of 268 runs.

4. 260 Runs

Next on the list is when the Indonesia women’s team set a mammoth target of 260 Runs against the Philippines women’s team. Indonesia was able to score 260 Runs with a loss of only one wicket as their openers scored 201 runs in partnership. This brilliant start allowed them to clinch the victory by 182 runs.

5. 255 Runs

The next highest total in women’s T20 is 255 Runs, which was made with a loss of two wickets. During the South Asian Games Women’s Cricket Tournament, the Bangladesh women’s cricket team, despite losing two early wickets, was able to score 255 Runs. It came due to Nigar Sultana’s and Fargana Hoque’s massive contributions of 113 runs and 110 runs, respectively.

6. 250 Runs

In sixth place is when the English women cricketers scored 250 Runs against the South African women’s cricket team. The match was played in England in 2018 and became the highest T20 score ever at that time.

7. 226 Runs

The seventh-highest T20 total in women’s cricket came when the Aussies scored a massive total of 226 Runs against their favourite rivals, England. The match took place in Chelmsford in July 2019.

The Australian women’s cricket team occupies the eighth position in this list as well. In October 2019, the Aussies hit 226 Runs with a loss of a couple of wickets against the Sri Lankan women’s cricket team. It came during the Sri Lanka tour of Australia in Sydney.
