Player-by-Player Breakdown
Maia Bouchier – 26 Catches
Maia Bouchier is the record holder. Forty-three matches, forty-three innings, 26 catches.
She has played every season from 2021 to 2025 without a gap, which is a big part of why she is at the top.
Her rate of 0.604 per innings is not just good for a high-volume fielder; it is genuinely strong. Her best in a single match is 2 catches.
No one else has crossed 25 catches in the competition’s history.
Danielle Gibson – 21 Catches
Danielle Gibson is the only other player past the 20-catch mark.
She has 21 from 39 matches at 0.538 per innings, with a best of 2 in a game.
She has been present since 2021 and remains active. The gap to Bouchier is five catches.
At her current rate, that is closeable across one or two more seasons if she plays regularly.
Alice Capsey – 19 Catches
Alice Capsey sits third with 19 catches from 40 matches (0.487 per innings). She has played all five editions and her best match return is 2 catches.
Still young within the competition, Capsey has more seasons ahead than most on this list. Her total will keep moving.
Mady Villiers – 18 Catches
Mady Villiers has 18 catches from 42 matches at 0.439 per innings. One behind Capsey, one ahead of the five-way cluster below her.
Her best is 2 catches in a match. Like the players above her, five full seasons of regular cricket have steadily built her total.
Danni Wyatt – 17 Catches
Danni Wyatt has played 43 matches (level with Bouchier) and taken 17 catches at 0.395 per innings. Her best is 2 in a match.
More games than almost anyone on this list, fewer catches than the four above her.
Her rate reflects that, though five seasons of contribution still put her firmly in the top five all-time.
Ellyse Perry – 16 Catches (Rate: 0.761)
This is the entry that changes the shape of the list. Ellyse Perry joined in 2022, one season later than most.
She has played just 22 matches. And yet she has 16 catches at a rate of 0.761 per innings, the highest number in this entire top 10.
Her best in a single match is 3 catches. She is not here because she has played a lot of games.
She is here because she takes a high proportion of the chances that come her way.
If Perry plays for another two or three seasons at a similar rate, her total will climb fast.
Smriti Mandhana – 16 Catches (Rate: 0.551)
Smriti Mandhana has 16 catches from 29 matches between 2021 and 2024, at 0.551 per innings.
Her best is 3 catches in a match, joint highest in the top 10 alongside Perry and Ismail.
Among the four players tied on 16, she has the second-best rate.
She has played fewer matches than Dean or Adams, but has taken catches more frequently.
Charlie Dean – 16 Catches (Rate: 0.410)
Charlie Dean has 16 catches from 39 matches (0.410 per innings) across five seasons.
Best match return is 2 catches.
She sits in the middle of the four-way tie on 16, above Adams on rate and below Mandhana.
A regular presence across every edition of the competition.
Georgia Adams – 16 Catches (Rate: 0.372)
Georgia Adams has played the most matches in this top 10 (44) and has 16 catches at 0.372 per innings. Her best is 2 in a match.
She has had more opportunities than anyone else at this level of the list, which makes her rate the lowest among the four tied on 16.
Her match tally is still one of the highest in the group overall.
Shabnim Ismail – 15 Catches
Shabnim Ismail finishes the list with 15 catches from 35 matches (0.454 per innings).
Her best is 3 catches in a match, matching Perry and Mandhana for the joint highest single-game return in the top 10.
She has played across all five seasons and has been a consistent fielding contributor throughout.
Reading This List Two Ways
- By total catches: Bouchier, Gibson, and Capsey stand apart. They have played the most and taken the most. Simple.
- By rate: Perry, Mandhana, and Gibson lead. These three are taking catches at a higher frequency than the rest. Perry especially. Her rate of 0.761 is almost 0.16 higher than Bouchier’s, despite Bouchier holding the record for total catches.
Neither view is the full picture on its own. A player who fields rarely but takes 80% of chances looks great on rate and poor on volume. A player who fields every game but drops a lot looks fine on total and poor on rate.
The most complete fielders on this list are the ones who score well on both. Gibson (21 catches, 0.538 rate) and Capsey (19 catches, 0.487 rate) both do that. They have high totals and above-average efficiency.
Which Records Could Change in 2026?
The 2026 season is active. Several players on this list are still competing, which means these totals are not final.
- Gibson is the most likely to make ground on Bouchier. Five catches are a realistic target across a single season for a player fielding every match.
- Perry is the wildcard. Her rate is so far above the rest that any additional seasons she plays in the competition will push her total up sharply. She could enter the top five with consistent participation.
- Capsey and Villiers are both young and active. They are likely to keep adding to their totals for years.
