All-Time Hundred Leading Run-Scorers on 2026 Rosters
These are verified career figures across every Hundred Women's Competition season since 2021 (ESPNcricinfo records), filtered to only players confirmed on a 2026 squad.
Nat Sciver-Brunt is the outright leading run-scorer in Hundred history among 2026 squad members — 1223 runs at an average of 45.29, comfortably clear of the field. Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp round out the highest-average tier, while Bryony Smith's 130.67 strike rate is the best of anyone outside the top two.
All-Time Hundred Leading Wicket-Takers on 2026 Rosters
Lauren Bell is the all-time leading wicket-taker among 2026 squad members with 60 scalps, but Marizanne Kapp's numbers are arguably more remarkable — a 13.47 average and 6.16 economy, the best economy rate of anyone in this table. Sophie Ecclestone, England's premier spinner, offers the most control (6.69 economy) from a specialist tweaker.
Captain & Vice-Captain Picks
- Nat Sciver-Brunt (Trent Rockets) — the standout captain pick, leading every 2026 squad member in career Hundred runs (1223) at a 45.29 average.
- Laura Wolvaardt (Southern Brave) — the best average (38.37) among the top run-scorers, one of the most reliable opening batters in the format.
- Marizanne Kapp (London Spirit) — genuine dual-threat captain option: elite with bat (39.85 average) and ball (13.47 average, 6.16 economy).
- Lauren Bell (Southern Brave) — the standout captain pick among bowlers, with more career wickets than any other 2026 squad member.
- Hayley Matthews (MI London) — an all-rounder captain option with 795 runs and 39 wickets, capable of scoring points with bat or ball every match.
Best Value & Differential Picks
- Grace Harris (London Spirit) — a 164.82 strike rate, the fastest scoring rate of any specialist batter in this guide, rarely the headline pick.
- Donovan Ferreira-style X-factor equivalent — Meg Lanning (Manchester Super Giants) — only 18 matches of Hundred data (2024–2025) but a 25.38 average and genuine captaincy pedigree from Australia.
- Deepti Sharma (SunRisers Leeds) — a 57.80 batting average from limited innings, plus genuine bowling all-rounder value.
- Annabel Sutherland (SunRisers Leeds) — 30 wickets at a 6.55 economy and useful runs, a genuine all-format all-rounder threat.
- Davina Perrin (Birmingham Phoenix) — the only century (101) among the newer names in this guide, a real top-order X-factor for Birmingham Phoenix.
