India captain Harmanpreet Kaur achieved a historic milestone during the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Final against South Africa at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, becoming the highest run-getter in Women’s ODI World Cup knockout matches.
With her latest knock of 20 runs off 29 balls, Harmanpreet’s cumulative tally in World Cup knockout stages has now reached 331 runs in just four innings, surpassing the previous record held by Australia’s Belinda Clark, who scored 330 runs in six innings.
This remarkable feat places Harmanpreet at the top of an elite list featuring some of the biggest names in women’s cricket — Alyssa Healy (309 runs in 4 innings), Nat Sciver-Brunt (281 runs in 5 innings), and Debbie Hockley (240 runs in 5 innings).
Known for her consistency and temperament in high-pressure matches, Harmanpreet has repeatedly delivered on the biggest stages — from her iconic 171* against Australia in the 2017 semifinal to her steady leadership in the 2025 campaign. Her latest record further cements her legacy as one of the finest batters in women’s cricket history.
