The biggest run chases in women's T20

When it comes to hunting down towering totals in women's T20 cricket, the record books belong to the bold — and no chase stands taller than West Indies' remarkable pursuit of 213 against Australia at North Sydney Oval in 2023. It remains the highest successful chase across all women's T20 formats, a T20I effort that towers over everything else on this list.

Beyond that outlier, the Women's Premier League dominates the conversation. Six of the ten biggest chases come from the WPL, underlining just how run-heavy the Indian league has become. Leading the charge is Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who appear no fewer than three times. They tracked down 204 against Delhi Capitals at Kotambi Stadium in 2026, chased 202 against Gujarat Giants at the same venue in 2025, and knocked off 189 versus Gujarat Giants at the Brabourne Stadium back in 2023 — a run of chasing pedigree unmatched by any side here.

Mumbai Indians feature twice, both times at Gujarat Giants' expense, gunning down 193 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in 2026 and 191 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2024. Gujarat Giants, it must be said, appear on the wrong side of four entries — a sobering theme.

International cricket supplies two further highlights: England's chase of 199 against India at the Brabourne Stadium in 2018, and South Africa's pursuit of 193 against India at The Wanderers in 2026.

Australia's Women's Big Bash League rounds out the list, with Hobart Hurricanes chasing 189 against Perth Scorchers at Bellerive Oval in 2025 and Melbourne Renegades reeling in 186 against Adelaide Strikers at Karen Rolton Oval in 2024.

Three competitions, one clear message — in the modern women's game, no total is truly safe.
