What does it take to get into the top 10 highest team scores in Women’s T20 Blast history?

At least 181 runs. In 20 overs or fewer.

And you needed to have played in 2025, because every single entry on this list came from the Vitality Blast Women’s debut season.

Ten matches. Ten records. Here is every one of them, broken down in full.

Highest Team Scores in Women’s T20 Blast History: All 10 Entries Ranked

A few numbers worth knowing before the full breakdowns: the average score across these ten entries is 194.3.

The lowest winning total is The Blaze’s 190/3, which came off 19 overs in a chase.

The only two sides to appear twice each as opponents in these matches are Hampshire Women and Durham Women, each on the receiving end of some of the biggest hitting of the season.

1. HAM Women – 215/3

Quick Answer: Hampshire Women’s 215/3 against Essex Women at Southampton on 30 May 2025 is the highest team score in Women’s T20 Blast history. Hampshire won by 25 runs.

Round numbers tell part of the story. Hampshire hit at 10.75 runs per over, broke the Utilita Bowl ground record by 18 runs, and did it all in the first match of the season.

Maia Bouchier (92 off 53) was the driving force. Ella McCaughan (68 off 39) was her equal at the other end.

Georgia Adams contributed in the closing stages, and Hampshire reached 215/3, a number nobody in the competition had ever seen before.

Essex chased it hard. Lauren Winfield-Hill (69 off 42) and Madeline Penna (38 off 17) gave the chase real teeth.

Bex Tyson (3/40) was the difference, removing key wickets at key moments. Essex finished on 190/7. The winning margin of 25 runs does not fully reflect how dominant Hampshire’s batting was on the day.

That total has not been surpassed since.

2. Surrey Women – 213/4

Hampshire held the record for five days before Surrey made them work to keep it.

213/4 at The Oval was built on three players all firing in the same innings. Grace Harris (63 off 35) on debut.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge (62 off 41) through the middle. Paige Schofield (49 off 18) at the death.

Three separate contributions, each from a different part of the innings, none of them depending on the others.

Harris then picked up 3/18 with the ball, dismissing both McCaughan and Adams in quick succession to end Hampshire’s reply at 181/8. Surrey won by 32 runs.

The two best batting scores in Women’s T20 Blast history came from the same two sides, five days apart, with the same batter (Harris) influencing both games.

3. Surrey Women – 204/5

The Kia Oval hosted three of the ten highest totals in Women’s T20 Blast history, and all three were Surrey innings. This was the third.

Kira Chathli led the way with 65 off 31 balls, five sixes, and a 93-run stand alongside Grace Harris (37 off 25).

Warwickshire’s attack was not short of quality: Priyanaz Chatterji took 3/23 and Kalea Moore took 3/38. They still conceded 204.

Warwickshire replied with 179/9, falling 25 runs short with nine days until the final. It is one of the better bowling efforts in a losing cause anywhere in this top 10.

4. HAM Women – 195/2

The 2025 Vitality Blast Women produced one century. Ella McCaughan scored it here.

106 off 60 balls at Chelmsford, against the same Essex side Hampshire had already beaten by 25 runs two weeks earlier.

Charli Knott was unbeaten on 72 off 55 alongside her as Hampshire posted 195/2.

Georgia Adams (4/26) removed Essex’s middle order on her way to a 42-run win. Essex ended on 153/8.

It is worth cross-referencing McCaughan’s two innings: 68 off 39 in the record match, 106 off 60 here.

Combined, she scored 174 runs across two of the biggest totals in the competition’s history.

No other batter came close to that level of consistency across the top entries on this list.

5. WAR Women – 193/6

Warwickshire’s 193/6 at Edgbaston was the second match of the season. After Hampshire’s 215/3 the day before, it served as a reminder that big scoring was not limited to one county.

Davina Perrin (87 off 61) built the total steadily. Laura Harris (55 off 21) then hit it into a different dimension at the death.

That combination of platform and power is the clearest execution of the modern T20 batting template across any innings in this top 10.

Durham were bowled out for 151 in 19 overs. The 42-run win sent Warwickshire into the season looking every bit like a team capable of going all the way.

6. BLZ Women – 190/3

Most scores in this list were set batting first. The Blaze’s 190/3 was scored chasing 189, with an over to spare.

Durham had posted 188/5, anchored by Suzie Bates (77 off 58) and Bess Heath (45 off 27).

Sarah Glenn (2/21) and Kathryn Bryce (2/37) had kept the total under 190. It was a score Durham expected to defend.

Tammy Beaumont (81 off 44) and Kathryn Bryce (39 off 35) had other ideas. The Blaze knocked off 190 in 19 overs at a run rate of 10.00, winning with seven wickets in hand.

To post a run rate of 10.00 while chasing in a T20 match, with the match on the line, is a specific kind of achievement. It earns its place on this list.

7. Essex Women – 190/7

Two totals appear at rank 6 and rank 7. Both are 190. Both came on the same day. One won by seven wickets, the other lost by 25 runs. The difference was the opposition.

Essex’s 190/7 was chasing Hampshire’s competition record of 215/3.

Lauren Winfield-Hill (69 off 42) led the reply and Madeline Penna (38 off 17) kept the rate up in the middle overs.

Bex Tyson (3/40) removed the players keeping Essex in the match at the right moments.

190/7 is a big score in any T20 game. In this one, it was not enough.

8. BLZ Women – 188/6

The Blaze’s first-innings 188/6 at Chesterfield was followed by one of the most destructive bowling spells of the 2025 season.

Heather Graham (73 off 47) and Ella Claridge (51 not out off 36) put 188 on the board.

Then Kathryn Bryce took 4/13, bowling Hampshire out for 151 in the second innings.

The margin was 37 runs. The batting and bowling contributions were equally matched.

For a team looking to qualify for the knockout stages, a performance like this, 188 posted and 151 conceded, is as close to a perfect match as the competition produced in 2025.

9. Durham Women – 188/5

Durham’s 188/5 is the other innings from the Chester-le-Street match on 13 June. It deserves its own read.

Suzie Bates scored 77 off 58 balls in an innings of genuine class. Not a slog, not a fortunate score.

A proper batter playing properly on a good surface. Bess Heath (45 off 27) accelerated at the end to push the total to 188/5.

Sarah Glenn (2/21) and Kathryn Bryce (2/37) had worked to restrict Durham earlier. 188 was the result of a well-managed innings against disciplined bowling.

It just happened to be the day Beaumont was in form. Durham’s 188 was good enough for most matches. On this one, it lost by seven wickets.

10. HAM Women – 181/8

The lowest entry on this list is a Hampshire total scored in a losing chase. That context is everything.

Facing Surrey’s 213/4, Hampshire needed 214 off 20 at The Oval.

Ella McCaughan (81 off 50) kept the reply alive through the middle overs.

Georgia Adams added 29. The rest of the line-up could not provide enough support.

Grace Harris (3/18) ended both key partnerships, and the chase finished at 181/8, 32 runs short.

Hampshire chased over 180 in a losing effort, and it still made the top 10. That is the level this competition reached in its first year.
