The Women's World Cup arrives in cricket-rich India and Sri Lanka, with high stakes for both seasoned athletes and rising stars. Legendary scores and feats are within sight, heightening anticipation for a tournament rich with history and potential records.
New Zealand's Debbie Hockley holds the highest run tally since 2000, with 1501 runs—a figure nearly eclipsed by Suzie Bates, trailing by just 322 runs. With an abundance of matches at her disposal, Bates is poised to break new ground. India's Harmanpreet Kaur and England's Nat Sciver-Brunt are also serious contenders to ascend the run-scoring leaderboard.
Expect a historic duel as batting-friendly pitches could inspire new landmarks, potentially rivaling Belinda Clark's monumental 229 not out in 1997. On the bowling front, Jhulan Goswami tops the charts with 43 wickets, but Megan Schutt and Marizanne Kapp are close on her heels. With veteran players making potentially last appearances, the stage is set for an unforgettable World Cup.
