Playing at the Al Amerat Stadium in Oman, Bahrain’s Deepika Rasangika struck a lightning-fast 161 from just 66 balls, cracking a mammoth 31 fours. It’s also the highest individual score in women’s T20 cricket.

Opener Tharanga Gajanayake supported with a 56-ball 94 to stitch a 255-run third-wicket stand. Saudi Arabia also played for full 20 overs but could only reach 49/8 to give Bahrain a 269-run victory.

Before Bahrain’s gigantic score, Uganda held the record with a 314/2 in 20 overs against Mali Women during the Kwibuka Women’s T20 Tournament in 2021.

Uganda opener Prosscovia Alako and captain Rita Musamali scored blazing tons, adding 227 runs for the third wicket to reach the big total.

The bowlers then bundled out Mali Women for just 10 runs to win the match by a huge 304-run margin.

Two days later, Tanzania climbed up the highest score in women’s T20 record list, scoring 285/1. Mali Women were once again at the receiving end, losing by 268 runs.

Among full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Bangladesh Women hold the record for their 255/2 against Maldives Women at the South Asian Games 2019.

Nigar Sultana and Fargana Hoque hammered brisk tons to take Bangladesh to the record total. Bangladesh ended up with a huge win as Maldives Women were all out for just six runs, with eight batters departing for zero.

Meanwhile, India’s highest score in women’s T20 cricket is 198/4 which came against England during a tri-nation series in 2018.

Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj and Smriti Mandhana laid a strong foundation with swift fifties. Then Harmanpreet Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar made handy contributions to take India close to the milestone.

It was also the second-highest women’s T20I score at the time.

India, however, ended up losing the match by seven wickets, courtesy of Danni Wyatt’s 124-run blitz from 64 balls.
