WPL Highest Team Totals: All-Time Records

The highest total in the Women's Premier League is 225 for 5, made by UP Warriorz against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Lucknow on 8 March 2025. Royal Challengers replied with 213 and lost by twelve runs, which makes that match the only one in the competition's history to contain two totals above 210.

Behind it is 223 for 2, made by Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on 5 March 2023 — in the competition's first season, and for two years the record. Delhi have three of the top eleven totals; Gujarat Giants have four in the top fourteen despite finishing bottom of the table more often than any other side.

Fourteen totals of 200 or more have been made in 88 matches, which is roughly one every six games. Ten of those fourteen have come in the last two seasons, and none at all in 2024.

Two of these totals were made in an innings that was bowled out — Royal Challengers' 213 at Lucknow and Gujarat's 209 at Navi Mumbai — which is unusual at that scoring rate and tells you something about how both innings were constructed.

Lucknow, 8 March 2025

The one match in the list that appears twice. UP Warriorz batted first and made 225 for 5; Royal Challengers Bengaluru replied with 213 all out and lost by twelve runs.

Four hundred and thirty-eight runs in a completed twenty-over match is the highest aggregate the competition has produced, by more than thirty. It also produced the highest losing total in WPL history, and it did so with Royal Challengers being dismissed rather than falling short with wickets in hand — they went for it and were bowled out in the last over.

The Ekana Stadium at Lucknow hosted WPL matches for the first time in 2025, as part of the competition's move away from a single-city model. It produced the highest total in the tournament's history in its first week.

The 2026 final

Two of the fourteen came in the same match, and it was the 2026 final at Vadodara on 5 February. Delhi Capitals made 203 for 4; Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased it, reaching 204 for 4 with two balls to spare.

That is the only occasion in the competition's history on which both innings of a final have passed 200, and the chase is the highest successful pursuit in WPL history — covered in detail on the WPL highest successful chases page. Smriti Mandhana made 87 from 41 balls and Georgia Voll 79 from 54, adding 165 for the second wicket, which is the highest partnership the competition has produced.

Royal Challengers took their second title. Delhi have now lost three finals in four seasons.

Where the big totals happen

The venues in the list divide by season rather than by conditions, because the competition has moved.

The 2023 season was played entirely in Mumbai, between the Brabourne Stadium and the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, and produced four totals above 200 in twenty-two matches. The 2024 season split between Bengaluru and Delhi and produced none — the only edition without one. The 2025 season used Vadodara, Bengaluru and Lucknow and produced five. The 2026 season, at Navi Mumbai and Vadodara, produced five as well.

The 2024 gap is worth noting because it is not obviously explicable by squad changes. The Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is a small ground with a fast outfield and would normally be expected to produce high scores; that season's highest total was 199, made by Gujarat Giants at Delhi. Twenty-two matches is a small enough sample that one season can look like an aberration without a cause behind it.

Team by team

Delhi Capitals appear four times in the fourteen, Gujarat Giants four, Royal Challengers Bengaluru three, Mumbai Indians two and UP Warriorz one.

The Gujarat entry is the surprise. They have been the competition's weakest side across four seasons and have not reached a final, yet they have made 209, 207, 201 and 201. Two of those were losses. A side that scores heavily and loses is usually a side whose bowling has not matched its batting, and Gujarat's economy rates across the four seasons support that reading.

Delhi's four are the opposite case: three of them came in wins, and the fourth was the 2026 final. They have been the most consistent batting side in the competition and have still not won it.

For the individual batting behind these totals see the WPL most runs leaderboard, and for the bowling the WPL most wickets list. The franchises, the auction and the competition's calendar are set out on the women's Premier League guide, the international game on the India women's cricket history page and the India women's most runs leaderboard, and the wider structure on the cricket in India hub.

Why the scores rose

The competition's first season produced four totals above 200, its second none, and its last two ten between them. Some of that is the small sample, but the direction from 2024 onwards is consistent enough to be worth explaining.

The clearest change is the depth of the batting. In 2023 most sides had two or three international batters and a long tail; by 2026 the auction had distributed enough capped players that a side losing three wickets in the powerplay still had someone at six who could strike at 140. That is what converts a good start into 200 rather than 170.

The second is the impact of the tournament on the players themselves. Every squad now contains Indian batters who have played three or four seasons of high-quality twenty-over cricket and been paid to do nothing else in February and March. Richa Ghosh's strike rate and Shafali Verma's are products of that, and both are on the WPL most runs list.

What has not changed is the bowling. Economy rates across the four seasons have moved very little, and the highest scores have come against attacks whose figures were otherwise respectable. When a WPL total passes 200 it is usually because the batting was exceptional, not because the bowling collapsed.

The totals that were not enough

Three of the fourteen were made by the side that lost: Royal Challengers' 213 at Lucknow, Gujarat's 209 at Navi Mumbai and Delhi's 203 in the 2026 final.

That is a high proportion, and it is a specific feature of this competition rather than a coincidence. The grounds used are small, the boundaries short and the batting deep, so a target of 200 in the WPL has been chased successfully more often than the equivalent in most twenty-over leagues. The full picture is on the WPL highest successful chases page, where the top of the list is close behind the top of this one.

For a batting side the practical consequence is that 200 is no longer a total to defend with confidence. Three of the four highest chases in the competition have come in the last two seasons, over exactly the period in which the highest totals have clustered.

Sources and method

Every total in the table is computed from the complete ball-by-ball record of that innings, across all 88 Women's Premier League matches played in the 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons. Totals include extras, as an innings total must.

The threshold for inclusion is 200, chosen because it is a round figure the competition crosses roughly once every six matches rather than because it marks a natural break in the data; the fifteenth-highest total in the competition is 199.

Where an innings shows no wickets figure it was bowled out. Overs are not given in the table because every innings listed except the two chases used the full twenty or ended in dismissal; the two chases are described in the text.

Records are complete to the 2026 final on 5 February 2026, and the partnership figure quoted for that match is computed from the same record. Nothing on this page is taken from a summary table.
