Mumbai Indians’ Nat Sciver-Brunt surpassed Ellyse Perry to become the leading run-scorer in the Women’s Premier League history. Only two Indian cricketers feature in the top five list. Sciver-Brunt needs three runs to complete 1000 runs in the WPL.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Mumbai Indians all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt surpassed Ellyse Perry to become the leading run-scorer in Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) history. The England international has been phenomenal in the ongoing WPL, amassing 493 runs in only nine matches. In total, the 32-year-old has scored 997 runs so far, 25 more than the second-placed Perry.<\/p>\n

Among Indians, only Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur<\/a> feature in the top five. Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning stands third with 939 runs to her name in the cash-rich league while Shafali and Harmanpreet have scored 861 and 785 runs each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews power MI to second WPL final<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews made 77 runs each to help Mumbai post 213 runs against Gujarat Giants in the WPL Eliminator. The duo stitched a partnership of 133 runs, to push the Ashleigh Gardner-led side out of the contest. In the second innings, Gujarat batters had a difficult time with the bat as multiple of their senior cricketers flopped to get going. Phoebe Litchfield and Bharti Fulmali kept the scoreboard ticking for a while but the team suffered a 47-run defeat in the end.<\/p>\n

After the match, Sciver-Brunt was asked if this was her best season with the bat, as no other cricketer in the WPL has ever come close to scoring 500 runs in a season. Replying to that, the all-rounder responded stating that the wickets have been good and the outfield quick, which might have helped her score plenty of runs in the 2025 edition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot sure what I’ve done differently to be honest. The wickets are good, the outfields are quick – that plays into batters hands I guess. I was a bit disappointed I didn’t hit more sixes before that. My strengths are hitting fours along the ground which allows me to move the field around,\u201d Sciver-Brunt said in the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
