List of players who have scored 2,000 or more runs in Women's Twenty20 International cricket

Scoring more than 2,000 runs in T20I format of cricket is considered a significant achievement. In 2014, England batter Charlotte Edwards became the first woman to score 2,000 runs in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I). Later in 2014, she also became the first player (either male or female) to cross 2500 runs.^[1] She retired as the most prolific run scorer in WT20Is, with a total of 2605 runs in March 2016. She remained as the leading run-scorer (either male or female) for another 2 years until it was broken by Suzie Bates of New Zealand in June 2018, who later became the first player (either male or female) to score 3000, 3500 and 4000 runs in T20Is as well.^[2][3]

In terms of innings, Australia's Beth Mooney is the fastest (67) to reach the 2,000 run mark, whereas Englands's Danni Wyatt and Heather Knight are the joint-slowest (105) to reach the mark.^[4]

As of July 2024^[update], 21 players from 9 teams have scored 2,000 runs in T20Is. Out of these 21 players, 5 players are from England followed by 3 each from Australia, India and West Indies, 2 each from Pakistan and New Zealand, and 1 each from Sri Lanka, Ireland, and United Arab Emirates.
