New Zealand’s captain Sophie Devine hit two massive sixes against Bangladesh Women at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati to become the most prolific six-hitter in Women’s World Cup history. The all-rounder who is still active among the legends knocked down former West Indies cricketer Deandra Dottin in this course.
During the celebration of Devine’s latest landmark maximum, let us have a view of the five players with the highest number of sixes to their names in Women’s ODI World Cup history.
Most sixes in The Women’s World Cup Matches
| Rank | Player | Country | Sixes | World Cup Span |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sophie Devine | New Zealand | 23 | 2013 – 2025 |
| 2 | Deandra Dottin | West Indies | 22 | 2009 – 2022 |
| 3 | Harmanpreet Kaur | India | 20 | 2009 – 2025 |
| 4 | Lizelle Lee | South Africa | 12 | 2017 – 2022 |
| 5 | Chloe Tryon | South Africa | 11 | 2013 – 2025 |
5. Chloe Tryon – 11 sixes
The South African all-rounder Chloe Tryon has been responsible for a total of 11 sixes throughout her Women’s World Cup career which includes 17 innings in 21 matches. The player made her World Cup debut in the 2013 edition of the tournament in India which was a couple of years after her first-ever international match for South Africa Women. Tryon’s six-hitting ratio in Women’s World Cups is also the best by a huge margin, as she nearly hits a six every two boundaries.
4. Lizelle Lee – 12 sixes
The South African opener Lizelle Lee, who is very explosive, has made a total of 12 sixes in 14 Women’s World Cup innings that were played in two different editions of 2017 and 2022. The player has managed to hit 43 fours in all her World Cup games making the total number of her boundaries to 55. Lee with 350 runs in 14 innings has maintained a batting average of 26.92, and a staggering batting strike rate of 89.74. In spite of her power-hitting ability at the top, she chose to retire from international cricket back in 2022, at the young age of 30.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur – 20 sixes
The Senior Indian ladies’ batter and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has blackballed 20 out of her 54 career ODI sixes in Women’s World Cup matches, over one-third of her overall tally in the game’s grandest stage. The cricketer belted seven of those maximums in a single innings, doing so against defending champions Australia in the second semifinal of the 2017 edition in Derby, where she whacked 171* runs from just 115 balls in a 42-overs game. Overall, Harmanpreet Kaur has played 29 World Cup games from 2009 till the ongoing edition of 2025, and has appeared in 25 innings for her country.
2. Deandra Dottin – 22 sixes
The legendary West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin has smoked 22 sixes in just 28 ICC Women’s World Cup innings. Having made her World Cup debut back in 2009, she announced her brief retirement from international cricket shortly after the 2022 edition in New Zealand. Dottin aggregated 718 runs in World Cup cricket for the West Indies at an explosive batting strike rate of nearly 95, plundering one century and four fifties in the process. She also maintained a batting average of 26.59 in her career.
1. Sophie Devine – 23 sixes
New Zealand captain and legendary all-rounder Sophie Devine has slapped 23 sixes in 28 Women’s World Cup matches. The 36-year-old launched two of those maximums against Bangladesh in match number 11 of the 2025 edition in Guwahati to soar past Deandra Dottin’s tally of 22 sixes to become the leading six-hitter in the history of the elite ODI tournament.
Sophie Devine also holds the second-best batting average among all players with more than 10 sixes in Women’s World Cup matches, considering her average of 38.70 only falls behind India’s Harmanpreet Kaur (46.25).
