In light of this, let’s examine some additional examples of these abilities in the form of the top five women’s Test scores for each individual:

5) Tammy Beaumont – 208

Thanks to a superb hundred by Annabel Sutherland and a solid 99 from Ellyse Perry, Australia amassed a massive total of 473 in their first innings. Opening player Tammy Beaumont gave England the powerful response they required to stay in the game.

She formed key partnerships with Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Heather Knight, scoring her first Test double hundred. She put in a lot of effort, which is why England only gave up a small lead of 10 runs and why the game was still in doubt as of this writing. Tammy Beaumont scored 208 but went in vain as Australia were victorious.

4) Karen Rolton – 209*

Next on the list is the illustrious former Australian batter Karen Rolton, whose double hundred helped Australia defeat England 2-0 in a 2001 Test series at Leeds. When they were knocked out for only 144 in their first innings, England significantly lost ground in the game. Australia was able to declare with enough time left in the game to get a result because to Rolton’s superb 209*. However, they were only able to set a target of seven runs. The hosts did exhibit some resistance in the second inning. A game was won by Australia.

3) Ellyse Perry – 213*

During the women’s Ashes, another stunning double hundred was hit, and this time it was Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry who demonstrated why she is undoubtedly one of the best players in the history of the sport. In Sydney in 2017, England was dismissed for just 280 runs, and Australia responded by mounting an astounding 448/9. Perry recently batted the visitors out of the Test match while maintaining his perfect 213* record. England managed to save a tie by putting up enough of a fight in the second innings.

2) Mithali Raj – 214

The legendary Indian hitter Mithali Raj may have delivered one of her career’s greatest innings in Taunton in 2002. Mithali’s 214 runs helped India take a commanding first-innings lead of 138 runs on what is regarded as maybe the best batting pitch in England. In order to prevent the game from ending in a loss, England had to put in a lot of effort in their second inning. Mithali had already given hints as a child as to what she will accomplish over the following 20 years.

1) Kiran Baluch – 242

Against the West Indies in 2004, former Pakistan opener Kiran Baluch still holds the record for the highest score in women’s Test matches. Pakistan scored a staggering 426/7 in their first innings thanks to her stunning effort. West Indies were asked to continue after being skittled for 147.
