Most Catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition

Not every match-winner holds a bat.
Some of the biggest contributions in The Hundred Women’s Competition have come from fielders who grabbed chances that other teams let slip.
Catching records do not get as much attention as runs or wickets. But over five seasons, a clear picture has formed.
Some players have been reliably sharp in the field, and the numbers back it up.
Here is the full ranked list of the top 10 players with the most catches in The Hundred Women’s Competition all time.
The Full Catching Records:
| Rank | Player | Span | Mat | Inn | Catches | Catches/Inn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Maia Bouchier | 2021–2025 | 43 | 43 | 26 | 0.604 |
| 2 | Danielle Gibson | 2021–2025 | 39 | 39 | 21 | 0.538 |
| 3 | Alice Capsey | 2021–2025 | 40 | 39 | 19 | 0.487 |
| 4 | Mady Villiers | 2021–2025 | 42 | 41 | 18 | 0.439 |
| 5 | Danni Wyatt | 2021–2025 | 43 | 43 | 17 | 0.395 |

The One Stat That Changes How You Read This List
Before going player by player, one number is worth flagging: Ellyse Perry’s catching rate of 0.761 per innings.
That is the highest in this entire top 10. Higher than Bouchier. Higher than anyone.
Perry has played just 22 matches compared to Bouchier’s 43. She joined the competition in 2022, two seasons after it started.
Yet she has kept pace with players who have had far more time on the field. If she plays a full run of seasons, she could move up this list quickly.
That kind of efficiency matters when reading any catching record. Total catches reward longevity. The rate tells you who is actually sharp out there.
1. Maia Bouchier – 26 Catches
Maia Bouchier is the all-time leader. She has been part of the competition since 2021 and has not missed a season.
In 43 innings, she has taken 26 catches at 0.604 per innings, with a best of 2 in a match.
Her record is built on presence. Being available across five seasons, staying in the XI, and converting chances consistently.
There was no one big year that inflated her total. She has added to it steadily, which makes it the most reliable benchmark on this list.
2. Danielle Gibson – 21 Catches
Danielle Gibson has taken 21 catches from 39 matches (0.538 per innings), keeping her second in the all-time rankings.
Like Bouchier, she has featured in the competition from the start.
Gibson is still active and still adding. The gap between her and Bouchier is five catches.
Over a full season, that gap can close fast for a player fielding as regularly as she does.
3. Alice Capsey – 19 Catches
Alice Capsey has 19 catches from 40 matches at 0.487 per innings.
She has appeared in every edition since 2021, and her best match return is 2 catches.
Age is on her side. Capsey is still young within the competition’s timeline, and if she continues at this rate across the seasons ahead, she has a real path into the top two.
4. Mady Villiers – 18 Catches
Mady Villiers has taken 18 catches from 42 matches (0.439 per innings).
She has been a regular across all five seasons and sits just one catch behind Capsey in the all-time standings.
Her best is 2 catches in a match. A consistent performer who rarely misses a game.
That reliability is what puts her fourth.
5. Danni Wyatt – 17 Catches
Danni Wyatt has played the same number of matches as Bouchier (43) but has nine fewer catches.
Her rate of 0.395 per innings reflects that, though she remains firmly in the top five.
Her best is 2 catches in a match. Five seasons of regular fielding have kept her total growing, even if the per-innings number is lower than those above her.
6. Ellyse Perry – 16 Catches
Ellyse Perry has 16 catches from just 22 matches, with a rate of 0.761 per innings. Her best is 3 catches in a match.
She joined in 2022, so she has had fewer innings than most on this list. Yet she sits in the top 10 anyway.
That rate is not a fluke. It is the kind of number that holds up across her career statistics in other formats, too.
Perry is simply a good fielder who takes her chances.
7. Smriti Mandhana – 16 Catches
Smriti Mandhana has taken 16 catches from 29 matches between 2021 and 2024, with a rate of 0.551 per innings.
Her best match figure is 3 catches, joint highest in this top 10.
Among the four players tied on 16, Mandhana’s rate is second only to Perry.
She played fewer matches than Dean or Adams, but kept a higher frequency of catches per game.
8. Charlie Dean – 16 Catches
Charlie Dean has recorded 16 catches from 39 matches (0.410 per innings).
She has been a regular across five seasons, with a best of 2 catches in a match.
Her total is built through consistency rather than standout individual performances.
Five seasons of regular play add up, and she sits firmly in the top ten as a result.
9. Georgia Adams – 16 Catches
Georgia Adams has played more matches than anyone else in this top 10 (44) and has taken 16 catches.
Her rate of 0.372 per innings is the lowest in the group.
More games, more opportunities, same total as players who have played far fewer.
That is worth noting, though her contribution across those matches extends beyond catching alone.
10. Shabnim Ismail – 15 Catches
Shabnim Ismail rounds out the list with 15 catches from 35 matches between 2021 and 2025.
Her rate of 0.454 per innings is solid, and her best match return is 3 catches, matching Mandhana for the joint best single-game figure in this group.
What the Numbers Actually Tell Us?
Two things stand out from this list.
- Longevity builds totals. The players at the top have all played every season or close to it. That is how Bouchier, Gibson, and Capsey have separated themselves. Being available matters as much as ability when it comes to cumulative records like this one.
- Rate reveals the sharpest fielders. Perry (0.761), Mandhana (0.551), and Gibson (0.538) are the three most efficient catchers in this group. Perry, in particular, is catching at a clip that no one else in the top 10 matches, despite a shorter run in the competition.
As more seasons are added, watch for Perry and Gibson. Both have the rate and the games remaining to challenge Bouchier’s record.
