The Women’s Premier League is all set to kick off soon with WPL 2023 beginning on 3rd March 2023. The first edition of women’s premier T20 competition in India will be played between 4th March to 26th March. The action-packed 22 days begin with Gujarat Giants taking on Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener at the DY Patil Stadium.

A ton of batters like Smriti Mandhana, Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, Hayley Matthews, and Sophie Devine are set to light up the WPL 2023 with some action-packed performances in the tournament. Let’s have a look at players who can end up being the highest run scorers in WPL 2023!

Who will be the highest run scorer in WPL 2023?

Smriti Mandhana

The Indian opener has featured in 115 T20I matches so far, amassing over 2800 runs. With a high score of 87, Smriti Mandhana averages nearly 28.0 in the shortest format of the game while also boasting a solid strike rate of 124! The left-handed star has recorded 20 fifties in this format and is a vital part of the Indian cricket team.

She can not only play the role of an anchor at the top but also boasts the ability to switch and be the aggressor, depending upon the situation. Being a Maharashtrian girl through and through, Mandhana has a lot of experience of playing in where the WPL will take place. Citing Mandhana’s form in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup  2023, she surely emerges to end up as the leading run scorer in WPL 2023.
