Most Runs in WPL 2026 Season: Full Stats & Rankings at BJ Sports

The Women’s Premier League of 2026 redefined batting benchmarks as global marquee players were upstaged by the home-grown names on an international platform. Smriti Mandhana’s record-breaking Orange Cap season wasn’t just about volume; it was a masterclass in adapting to variable bounce and turn that characterise the late stages of the tournament so frequently. Fans who were following the course of this season on BJ Spots also observed that, for the first time in years, scores were beginning to be scored in a pattern recognizably more productive when drives are played with similar accuracy than when behind-on-econds accuracy.

Smriti Mandhana (RCB): 377 Runs

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s captain led from the front, becoming the first Indian player to secure the Orange Cap. Mandhana’s 377 runs came at a blistering strike rate of 153.25, proving she could anchor an innings without slowing the game down. For fans following live scores during the final, her match-winning 87 was a testament to her temperament. Detailed player metrics on BJ Sports highlight her ability to pierce the field during the power play, evidenced by her league-leading 57 fours, which kept the scoreboard ticking even when sixes were hard to come by.

Harmanpreet Kaur (MI): 342 Runs

Mumbai Indians’ captain showed her consistent excellence in the WPL, placing as the runner-up. Harmanpreet has been proven to be the most difficult batter to dismiss by statistics, with a league-high average of 68.40. Even though she did not claim the top position, she had no rival in hitting sixes with 13 (tie) with Sophie Devine. According to the analytics centre, Harmanpreet was extremely dangerous during the death overs with a rapid acceleration after she got established.

Nat Sciver-Brunt (MI): 321 Runs

According to BJ Sports match analysis, Nat Sciver-Brunt’s explosive individual performance was the best of the year in women’s cricket, with her unbeaten 100 off just 57 balls the only century produced throughout the 2026 season. As such, her performance exemplified her superiority over both fast and slow bowlers. She has also proven herself as one of the top players in the middle order by being the driving force of scoring (51.42 SR) for her team when they were struggling for runs at earlier stages of the innings.

Lizelle Lee (DC): 320 Runs

The South African veteran was a pillar of consistency for the Delhi Capitals. While spectators watching livestreaming on Sportslivehub occasionally saw her navigate tricky spin matchups, Lee utilized her experience to accumulate 320 runs. Although her average of 32.00 was lower than her competitors’, her aggressive starts were vital for Delhi’s campaign. She focused on volume scoring, ensuring the Capitals had a platform to build upon in almost every match.

Laura Wolvaardt (DC): 317 Runs

To complete the top five finishers, Laura Wolvaardt demonstrated her impressive ability on the batting trails with a beautiful balance of form; namely, through the ‘BJ Sports’ analytical engine during those key mid-innings, she is capable of maintaining a strike rate of 135.47 as long as she remains responsible with her batting techniques (having the highest score of 77). More importantly, throughout her innings, she produced enough partnerships to allow some other batsmen who are less than free-rein batters at times to bat without limitation.
