Most Catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition
Bouchier. Twenty-six catches. Five seasons. That is the record.
But the number alone does not tell you much without context.
How many matches did she play? How does her rate compare to the players below her?
And which active players are most likely to challenge that mark in 2026?
This article answers all of it, with the full top 10 and the stats behind each ranking.
Most Catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition: All-Time Rankings
| Rank | Player | Span | Mat | Inn | Catches | Catches/Inn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maia Bouchier | 2021–2025 | 43 | 43 | 26 | 0.604 |
| 2 | Danielle Gibson | 2021–2025 | 39 | 39 | 21 | 0.538 |
| 3 | Alice Capsey | 2021–2025 | 40 | 39 | 19 | 0.487 |
| 4 | Mady Villiers | 2021–2025 | 42 | 41 | 18 | 0.439 |
| 5 | Danni Wyatt | 2021–2025 | 43 | 43 | 17 | 0.395 |
| 6 | Ellyse Perry | 2022–2025 | 22 | 21 | 16 | 0.761 |
| 7 | Smriti Mandhana | 2021–2024 | 29 | 29 | 16 | 0.551 |
| 8 | Charlie Dean | 2021–2025 | 39 | 39 | 16 | 0.410 |
| 9 | Georgia Adams | 2021–2025 | 44 | 43 | 16 | 0.372 |

Three Things This Table Tells You Immediately
- First: Only two players have crossed 20 catches. Bouchier (26) and Gibson (21). Everyone else is at 19 or below. The gap between second and third is small, but the gap between first and second is five catches. That matters.
- Second: Four players share 16 catches in positions six through nine. They are ranked by rate, not by any subjective measure. Perry leads that group at 0.761, well ahead of Mandhana (0.551), Dean (0.410), and Adams (0.372).
- Third: The player with the most matches (Adams, 44) has the same total as the player with the fewest matches in that group (Perry, 22). That is the biggest efficiency gap in the list.
Player Records in Full
Maia Bouchier – 26 Catches
Maia Bouchier has played every edition of the competition from 2021 to 2025. Forty-three matches, forty-three innings, 26 catches. Her rate of 0.604 per innings is built across the full run of the tournament.
Best single-match return: 2 catches. No other player in the competition’s history has passed 25 catches. Her record is a product of both consistency and availability.
Danielle Gibson – 21 Catches
Danielle Gibson is the closest challenger with 21 catches from 39 matches at 0.538 per innings. She has featured since the first season in 2021 and remains active.
Five catches behind Bouchier. At her current rate, that is roughly nine or ten innings. She has a real shot at the record if she plays regularly through 2026 and beyond.
Alice Capsey – 19 Catches
Alice Capsey has 19 catches from 40 matches (0.487 per innings). She has appeared in all five editions, and her best match return is 2 catches.
Two behind Gibson, seven behind Bouchier. Still young enough that the top of this list is reachable across the seasons ahead.
Mady Villiers – 18 Catches
Mady Villiers sits fourth with 18 catches from 42 matches at 0.439 per innings. Her best in a match is 2 catches.
She has played five full seasons, and her total reflects that. One behind Capsey, comfortably ahead of the five-way cluster below.
Danni Wyatt – 17 Catches
Danni Wyatt has 17 catches from 43 matches at 0.395 per innings. She has played the same number of games as Bouchier but nine fewer catches.
The difference is almost entirely explained by rate. Bouchier catches at 0.604 per innings, Wyatt at 0.395. Both have been present for every season. Best match figure for Wyatt: 2 catches.
Ellyse Perry – 16 Catches
Ellyse Perry joined the competition in 2022, one season later than most. She has played 22 matches and taken 16 catches. That gives her a rate of 0.761 per innings, the highest number in this top 10.
To put that in perspective: for every ten innings Perry fields, she averages more than seven catches. Bouchier, at 0.604, averages just over six. The gap is significant.
Her best single-match return is 3 catches, joint highest in the top 10. If Perry continues in the competition for three more seasons at a similar rate, her total could reach 30 or beyond.
Smriti Mandhana – 16 Catches
Smriti Mandhana has 16 catches from 29 matches across four seasons (2021 to 2024) at 0.551 per innings. Her best is also 3 catches in a match, the joint highest in the group.
Among the four players tied on 16, she has the second-best rate. She has played fewer games than Dean or Adams but taken catches more often. Her 2021 to 2024 span means she has not featured in all five editions.
Charlie Dean – 16 Catches
Charlie Dean has 16 catches from 39 matches (0.410 per innings) across five seasons. The best match figure is 2 catches.
She ranks third among the tied group on the rate. A regular across all editions, her total has built steadily through consistent availability.
Georgia Adams – 16 Catches
Georgia Adams has played 44 matches, more than anyone else in this top 10. She has 16 catches at 0.372 per innings, the lowest rate in the group.
More games than Perry, but the same total. That is the clearest illustration of how much efficiency matters when total catches look identical on paper.
Shabnim Ismail – 15 Catches
Shabnim Ismail completes the list with 15 catches from 35 matches at 0.454 per innings.
Like Perry and Mandhana, her best single-match return is 3 catches.
She has contributed across all five seasons, and her rate sits comfortably in the middle of the group.
How Availability and Efficiency Split This List?
Look at the top five and the bottom five separately.
- The top five (Bouchier through Wyatt) all have 17 or more catches. Four of the five have played 39 or more matches. Longevity is the shared factor. You do not build a catching total of 17 to 26 without regular selection across multiple seasons.
- The bottom five (Perry through Ismail) all sit at 15 or 16 catches. But they got there in very different ways. Perry took 16 from 22 matches. Adams took 16 from 44. Ismail took 15 from 35. Mandhana took 16 from 29.
The players in the bottom half of this list are not lesser fielders. Perry’s rate is the best of anyone in the group. What separates them from the top five is largely how many seasons they have played, not how well they field when they do.
That distinction matters if you are trying to forecast who moves where. A player with a high rate and more seasons ahead will climb faster than one with a high total but a lower rate.
The 2026 Outlook
The 2026 season is running. These records are live.
- Gibson is the most immediate threat to Bouchier’s all-time record. Five catches at her current rate are achievable within a single season.
- Perry is the player most likely to reshape the upper half of this list over the next two or three years. Her rate is not a small sample size quirk. Across four seasons and 22 matches, 0.761 per innings is a consistent pattern.
- Capsey and Villiers are young, active, and adding catches each season. Both have time on their side.

Conclusion:
Maia Bouchier leads the all-time catching list with 26 from 43 matches. Five full seasons of availability and a strong rate of 0.604 per innings have built the record no one has beaten yet.
Ellyse Perry has the best rate in the top 10 at 0.761. She is the most efficient catcher in the competition’s history among the top ten, and she has done it in fewer games than almost everyone else here.
The 2026 season means these numbers are still moving. Check back as the edition progresses.
