7 Women’s Cricket Records That Could Fall Next

Cricket thrives on milestones and records make history memorable. Sometimes the records feel unbreakable. But this time around, several stand quite exposed, history might be rewritten this season.

Here are seven records that may fall, with one shining example from Pakistan Women’s Cricket.

1. Most Runs in Women’s World Cup history

Debbie Hockley leads with 1,501 career runs. Not far behind is Mithali Raj with 1,321 runs. Could someone break Hockley’s long-standing tally in the next tournament? Young batters will try. 

2. Bowler with Most Wickets in Women’s World Cup history

Jhulan Goswami holds the top spot with 43 wickets. Several bowlers have 35-plus and are eyeing her record. It may finally slip. 

3. Highest Individual Score in Women's World Cups

Belinda Clark’s unbeaten 229 in 1997 still shines. It is one of those innings people talk about. Some batters could threaten that once-in-a-generation mark.

4. Pakistan Women’s first 10-wicket Win in Women’s T20 Asia Cup

Pakistan achieved a breakthrough. When they bowled out UAE and then chased their target without losing a wicket in 2024, it was their first 10-wicket win in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup format since 2012. That record is already in Pakistan women’s pride. 

5. Most Wickets for Pakistan Women in WODIs Career

Nida Dar is Pakistan’s highest wicket-taker in Women’s ODIs with 112 scalps. There is talk she might extend it further. 

6. Most Runs in a Single Women’s World Cup Tournament

Alyssa Healy holds the record for most runs scored in a single edition (509 in 2022). With improving pitches and more matches, someone may surpass her soon. 

7. Best Bowling Figures in Women’s World Cup History

Jackie Lord’s 6 for 10 back in 1982 remains legendary. Opponents are hoping to shatter that. But to do so they’ll need pace, spin, accuracy and nerves.
