Top 3 highest individual scores in Women's T20 World Cup finals

World Cup finals are the ultimate test of nerve. Packed stadiums, millions watching from home, the weight of history, and the pressure of delivering on the biggest stage: only the most composed players can thrive in such cauldrons. Scoring runs in a final demands not just skill but nerves of steel and mental fortitude of the highest order.

With England and Australia set to clash at Lord’s in the 2026 final, here is a look back at the three highest individual scores ever recorded in Women’s T20 World Cup finals.

1. Beth Mooney: 78* off 54 vs India (2020 Final)

The 2020 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was dominated by Alyssa Healy’s fireworks, but it was Beth Mooney who top-scored. Mooney anchored the innings with an unbeaten 78 off 54 balls, striking at 144.44 with 10 fours. Her calm presence ensured Australia posted a commanding total of 184. Mooney’s 78 remains the highest individual score in Women’s T20 World Cup finals history.

2. Alyssa Healy: 75 off 39 vs India (2020 Final)

Healy’s knock in the same final was arguably the most impactful innings ever played in a Women’s T20 World Cup final. After being dropped early by Shafali Verma at cover, Healy punished India mercilessly. She smashed 75 off just 39 balls at a strike rate of 192.30, hammering seven fours and five sixes. Her blitz set the tone for Australia’s dominance and earned her the Player of the Match award.

3. Beth Mooney: 74* off 53 vs South Africa (2023 Final)

Mooney features again, this time for her match-winning effort in the 2023 final at Newlands, Cape Town. Opening alongside Alyssa Healy, she played the anchor role to perfection, finishing unbeaten on 74 off 53 balls. She struck nine fours and one six at a strike rate of 139.62. Mooney’s innings earned her the Player of the Match award as Australia defeated South Africa by 19 runs to clinch their sixth title.
