Women’s World Cup 2025: Top 3 wicket-takers of the tournament

The pitches and the conditions at the Women’s World Cup 2025 were not all conducive for the batters. However, bowlers still had to toil hard and give their best and hot and humid conditions to come up on top.

3) Sophie Ecclestone (16 wickets in seven innings)

Sophie Ecclestone bowled the fewest overs amongst the three (56.1 as compared to Deepti’s 81.2 and Sutherland’s 60.2). She was also the most economical bowler amongst the three, conceding runs at only 4.05 per over. She picked up two four-wicket hauls and did not go wicketless in any of the seven matches.

2) Annabel Sutherland (17 wickets in seven innings)

Annabel Sutherland shone with the ball in Australia’s matches against New Zealand and India, picking three and five wickets, respectively. The confidence she generated by picking up three wickets against England carried forward in the second innings. Sutherland earned the Player of the Match award against Australia’s arch-rivals.

1) Deepti Sharma (22 wickets in nine innings)

Not only did Deepti Sharma contribute with the bat, she was splendid with the ball as well. Deepti did a good job in controlling the flow of runs during the middle overs as she was used as a wicket-taking option by Harmanpreet Kaur. Her most impressive performance came in the final, where she picked up a five-wicket haul following a run-a-ball 58.
