Most Catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition

 

Fielding does not show up in the headline stats. You will not see it in the scorecard summary or the post-match interview.

But across five seasons of The Hundred Women’s Competition, a handful of players have built catching records that deserve proper attention.

This is the full top 10, pulled from official records, with the numbers that actually matter.

Most Catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition: Full Top 10

The Players Who Have Played Every Season

Four of the top five have played all five editions from 2021 to 2025. That is not a coincidence.

Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Mady Villiers, and Danni Wyatt have all been available across every season.

Danielle Gibson has too. Consistent selection is a big factor in building a catching total. You cannot take catches from the dressing room.

What separates these five is how they have used that availability. Bouchier leads on total.

But Capsey and Gibson both carry stronger per-innings rates than Wyatt or Villiers, which is why they rank above them in the quality of their fielding output, even if Villiers sits above Wyatt on total catches.

Profiles: The Top 10 Catchers

Maia Bouchier – 26 Catches

Maia Bouchier is the record holder. Twenty-six catches. Forty-three matches. Forty-three innings. She has never missed a season.

Her rate of 0.604 per innings is not the highest in the group, but it is very solid for a player with this volume of games.

Best match return: 2 catches. No one in the competition’s history has taken more than her.

---

Danielle Gibson – 21 Catches

Danielle Gibson is second with 21 catches from 39 matches at 0.538 per innings. She is the only other player across 20.

Five catches behind Bouchier. Still active. If she plays a full 2026 season, that gap is well within reach.

---

Alice Capsey – 19 Catches

Alice Capsey has 19 catches from 40 matches (0.487 per innings). All five seasons, best match return of 2 catches.

She is one of the younger regulars in this group. More editions ahead means more time to move up the list. Third, not all the time is when she will finish.

---

Mady Villiers – 18 Catches

Mady Villiers has 18 catches from 42 matches at 0.439 per innings. One catch behind Capsey, three ahead of the cluster below.

Five seasons of regular availability have built her total. Best match return is 2 catches.

---

Danni Wyatt – 17 Catches

Danni Wyatt has 17 catches from 43 matches (0.395 per innings).

She and Bouchier have played the same number of games.

The difference in their totals reflects the difference in their catching rates.

Best match figure: 2 catches. Long-term participation keeps her in the top five.

---

Ellyse Perry – 16 Catches

Stop here for a moment. Ellyse Perry has 16 catches from 22 matches. That gives her a rate of 0.761 per innings, the highest in the entire top 10 by a wide margin.

She joined the competition in 2022, a season after it started. She has played fewer games than anyone else in this group. And she is still sixth all time.

Her best single-match return is 3 catches. Perry is not in the top 10 because she has played a lot. She is there because she takes a high share of the chances that come to her.

Twenty-two matches in, she already has 16 catches. At this rate, ten more games could add eight to that total. Watch this one closely in 2026.

---

Smriti Mandhana – 16 Catches

Smriti Mandhana has 16 catches from 29 matches at 0.551 per innings. Her best match return is 3 catches, joint highest in the top 10 alongside Perry and Ismail.

Among the four-way tie on 16, she has the second-best rate behind Perry. Fewer matches than Dean or Adams, more catches per game than both.

---

Charlie Dean – 16 Catches

Charlie Dean has 16 catches from 39 matches (0.410 per innings). Five seasons, best of 2 in a match.

She ranks third among the four players tied on 16, above Adams on rate and below Mandhana. A reliable fielder who has featured across all editions.

---

Georgia Adams – 16 Catches

Georgia Adams has played 44 matches, the most in this entire top 10, and has 16 catches at 0.372 per innings.

More opportunities than anyone at this level of the list. The lowest rate among the four tied on 16.

Both things are true, and the total is still enough to keep her in the top ten all time.

---

Shabnim Ismail – 15 Catches

Shabnim Ismail finishes the list with 15 catches from 35 matches at 0.454 per innings.

Her best is 3 catches in a match, joint highest in the group alongside Perry and Mandhana.

Five seasons of participation have kept her total growing steadily.

The Efficiency Gap Nobody Talks About

The gap between Perry’s rate (0.761) and Adams’s rate (0.372) is almost 0.39 catches per innings.

That is nearly a full catch every two games, across the same level of competition.

Both are in the top 10. Both have 16 catches. But Perry got there in 22 matches. Adams needed 44.

That is not a criticism of Adams. She has played more cricket and contributed in other ways across those matches.

But it shows how much the per-innings rate reveals when total catches look the same on paper.

For anyone tracking these records going into 2026, the rate column is the one worth watching, not just the total.

What to Expect in 2026?

The 2026 season is live. Several players on this list are still active, which means the rankings will shift.

Gibson is the most immediate threat to Bouchier’s record. Five catches is a realistic target in a single season for a player fielding every game.

Perry is the longer-term story. Her rate is far enough above the rest that consistent participation over the next two or three seasons would push her into the top three or higher.

Capsey and Villiers are both young and playing regularly. Their totals will keep growing.
