ICC ODI Women's World Cup 2025: Top 5 leading run-scorers & wicket-takers

The 2025 ICC Women's ODI World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, concluded with India lifting their maiden title. The tournament was dominated by standout individual performances, especially from the batters of the finalists and the phenomenal bowling unit of the eventual champions.

India’s home World Cup produced a tight, high-quality tournament, and the stat sheets tell the story. South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt finished as the leading run-scorer, while India’s Deepti Sharma dominated with the ball and proved the tournament’s most valuable all-rounder. Here are the top five run-getters and wicket-takers from CWC 2025, with quick takeaways on what made them tick.

Top 5 run-scorers

1. Laura Wolvaardt (SA) — 571 runs in 9 matches. A model of consistency and timing, Wolvaardt’s appetite for big innings anchored South Africa’s attack throughout the event, including centuries in semis and finals.

2. Smriti Mandhana (IND) — 434 runs in 9 matches. Mandhana combined fluency and intent, with her left-handed strokeplay regularly putting India on the front foot.

3. Ashleigh Gardner (AUS) — 328 runs in 7 matches. Gardner offered the rare blend of power and strike-rate that flips the middle overs into scoring carnivals.

4. Pratika Rawal (IND) — 308 runs in 7 matches. One of the tournament’s pleasant surprises, Pratika supplied big, match-defining knocks when India needed depth.

5. Phoebe Litchfield (AUS) — 304 runs in 7 matches. Young and fearless, Litchfield’s timing and range of shots pushed Australia’s totals on multiple occasions

Top 5 wicket-takers

1. Deepti Sharma (IND) — 22 wickets in 9 matches. Deepti’s off-spin and clever variations produced consistent breakthroughs; she finished as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker.

2. Annabel Sutherland (AUS) — 17 wickets in 7 matches. Sutherland mixed pace and bounce to good effect, especially in the powerplay and middle overs.

3. Sophie Ecclestone (ENG) — 16 wickets in 7 matches. Ecclestone’s control and subtle drift made her a persistent wicket threat on slowing surfaces.

4. Shree Charani (IND) — 14 wickets in 9 matches. The young Indian spinner punched above her weight with disciplined lines on turning tracks. 

5. Alana King (AUS) — 13 wickets in 7 matches. King’s leg-spin and arm-ball variations turned up in key moments for Australia.
