Most Hundreds In A Career In Women's ODIs

Who are the women, who are the talents that have, quite simply, at the behest of their amazing, undoubtable and very visible talent raised the bar in women's ODI cricket? Who are the glowing stars, legends

in the works whose batting deeds echo a certain element of success that stems from painstaking effort that somehow still eschews fans' attention, since a lot of it anyway goes to men's international cricket. Still! Yes. But having said that, this is a list of that the author of the piece, ditto to the wonderful platform, hopes will inspire - even if in the most modest sense possible- the fan to wake up to realise that women's international cricket, too has gems that must be appreciated, for their deeds with the willow are as important as their own presence for their respective teams on the 22 yards. That being said, let us appreciate the batters with most hundreds in women's ODIs:

Meg Lanning

It's a shame that one of the greatest names in the women's white-ball game is no longer an international active player for her country, a country that despite losing the recent World cup final, is still very much a bastion of excellence.

Lanning's 15 ODI tons came off just 102 innings, which doing simple math suggests the right hander struck a ton in every seventh ODI inning of her career. And what a career the 'Mega' star has had.

Smriti Mandhana

The world knows her as among the finest strokemakers from India, but what's also important about Mandhana, 14 ODI tons from 117 innings, is to understand that she marries attacking cricket with a sense of grace and timing in a way few others can and few others will.

Suzie Bates

A titan of Women's international cricket, and a symbol of endless purity in the collective called White Ferns, it's such a shame that Suzie Bates had a disappointing 2025 ODI World Cup, in which she scored not too many runs. However, she holds the distinct and admirable world record of scoring the most number of ODI tons from her NZ side; 13 from 169 One Day Innings (178 matches), as on date.

There's that redoubtable might, an element of visible selflessness and that quintessential  desire to excel for her White Ferns unit that makes Bates, a former captain, such a huge name in the women's game and may that always remain that way.

Tamsin Beaumont

The class, consistency and the shrewedness to exploit gaps on either side make Beaumont a legend up top England's sometimes batting-heavy, on other times, bowling-reliant order. As on date, the noted right hander has struck 12 dominant hundreds from 140 international matches for her England.

Laura Wolvaardt

There'll never be another Laura Wolvaardt and what a great legend of the game she is already turning out to be, in accepting defeat, as seen just a few hours ago at the venerable ICC Women's ODI final at DY Patil stadium, with such grace and humility. There was not even a hint of scorn on her face or disconsolation, which is when she was entitled to, at a time where barring her own batting brilliance, none really stood up to support South Africa's tireless captain.

Her cover drive is a work of art and it is a shame that when we perhaps biasdly put forth one of cricket's most rhetorical questions, one been done to death- "Who plays the best cover drive"- we don't even mention her name for millions of us easily either go with Mr. Babar Azam or of course, the great Virat Kohli. Make no mistake. Absord no misunderstandings. 

But it's as if to say that Women's cricket doesn't even feature artists who can elevate the stature of the stroke, by lending it a sense of finesse as only few can. And amongst those few, not that Mr Ian Bell or a certain Brain Charles Lara wouldn't agree, there's a Laura Wolvaardt.

11 ODI centuries from 118 ODI outings with the bat!

Nat Sciver-Brunt

The most audacious, genuinely amazing and endlessly talismanic- not one adjective is bland in its praise- Nat Sciver-Brunt is a living legend. She actually is and in a sport where the phrase legend is often sugarcoated god knows why, Nat Sciver-Brunt's humility too, serves a case in point.

Zero controversies, pure humility, never rubbing her wins on her opponents' face- isn't it?

She has 10 hundreds in ODI's to her name from 129 ODI's and 114 innings, to be precise. 

Often playing a lone vigil in decisive moments such as her unbeaten 148 off 121 in the heartbreaking World Cup final contest for her England, Nat, as she's lovingly addressed by her colleagues has done more for England than National Health Service for several of her nation's aggreieved citizens, with much due respect to the venerable institute from His Majesty, the King of England.
