List of top 10 highest team scores for India women in T20I history

India Women have produced multiple memorable performances with the bat in T20I cricket, posting massive totals against some of the strongest teams in the world. Starting from the explosive opening partnerships to the powerful finishes in the final overs, the team has displayed its skill to put the opposition bowlers under incredible pressure and set record-challenging targets.

The record books got a major update in December 2025, when the blue brigade smashed 221/2 against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma led the charge from the beginning with impressive half-centuries. Both offered them an aggressive start with a powerful approach in the powerplay overs (1-6).

India’s highest team totals have featured a strong combination of aggressive stroke play and the partnerships that keep the scoreboard moving. The veteran batters like their former captain Harmanpreet Kaur and the current captain Mandhana play important roles, while the young and explosive Richa Ghosh add the firepower to the line-up.

These big scores always reflect how women’s T20I cricket has evolved, with the teams willing to attack from the opening overs instead of waiting until the end of the innings. Their ability to accelerate in the middle (7-15) and death (16-20) overs has helped the team cross the 200-run mark on many occasions.
