New Zealand captain Sophie Devine launched two huge sixes against Bangladesh Women at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati to become the leading six-hitter in the history of the Women’s World Cup. The legendary all-rounder toppled former West Indies cricketer Deandra Dottin in the process.

Celebrating Devine’s latest landmark maximum, here is a look at five players with the highest number of sixes to their names in Women’s ODI World Cup history.

5. Chloe Tryon – 11 sixes

South African all-rounder Chloe Tryon has launched 11 sixes in her Women’s World Cup career from 17 innings spanning 21 matches. The cricketer made her World Cup debut during the 2013 edition of the tournament in India, i.e., a couple of years after playing her first-ever international match for South Africa Women. Tryon’s six-hitting ratio in Women’s World Cups is also the best by a landslide, considering she roughly hits a maximum once every two boundaries.

4. Lizelle Lee – 12 sixes

Explosive South Africa opener Lizelle Lee has struck 12 sixes in 14 Women’s World Cup innings spanning two different editions of 2017 and 2022. The cricketer has also belted 43 fours across all her World Cup outings to amount for 55 boundaries. With 350 runs in 14 innings, Lee has maintained a batting average of 26.92, with a staggering batting strike rate of 89.74. Despite her explosive batting prowess at the top, she announced her retirement from international cricket back in 2022 itself at an early age of 30.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur – 20 sixes

Senior Indian batter and captain Harmanpreet Kaur has hauled 20 out of her 54 career ODI sixes in Women’s World Cup matches, i.e., over one-third of her overall tally in the game’s grandest stage. The cricketer belted seven of those maximums in a single innings, doing so against defending champions Australia in the second semifinal of the 2017 edition in Derby, where she whacked 171* runs from just 115 balls in a 42-overs game. Overall, Harmanpreet Kaur has played 29 World Cup games from 2009 till the ongoing edition of 2025, and has appeared in 25 innings for her country.

2. Deandra Dottin – 22 sixes

Legendary West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin has smoked 22 sixes in just 28 ICC Women’s World Cup innings. Having made her World Cup debut back in 2009, she announced her brief retirement from international cricket shortly after the 2022 edition in New Zealand. Dottin aggregated 718 runs in World Cup cricket for the West Indies at an explosive batting strike rate of nearly 95, plundering one century and four fifties in the process. She also maintained a batting average of 26.59 in her career.

1. Sophie Devine – 23 sixes

New Zealand captain and legendary all-rounder Sophie Devine has slapped 23 sixes in 28 Women’s World Cup matches. The 36-year-old launched two of those maximums against Bangladesh in match number 11 of the 2025 edition in Guwahati to soar past Deandra Dottin’s tally of 22 sixes to become the leading six-hitter in the history of the elite ODI tournament.

Sophie Devine also holds the second-best batting average among all players with more than 10 sixes in Women’s World Cup matches, considering her average of 38.70 only falls behind India’s Harmanpreet Kaur (46.25). Apart from belting 23 sixes, Devine has also listed 94 boundaries and has aggregated 929 runs in 25 innings for New Zealand.
