The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 has concluded and the result has once again been the same as has been seen for the last several years. Australia has once again proved its supremacy by winning the T20 World Cup title. In the final, England had to be satisfied with the runner-up finish, while the Indian team remained empty handed this time too. However, the biggest positive thing of this tournament for Team India has been the performance of 21-year-old spinner Shri Charani, who has taken the maximum of 14 wickets.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 has ended with the final played between Australia and England at Lord’s on Sunday 5 July. Australia has won this trophy for the record seventh time by defeating England by 7 wickets. In this match, a total of 7 wickets have fallen between the two teams and no bowler has been able to take more than one wicket. For this reason, Shri Charani has remained the highest wicket taker bowler in the entire tournament.
Created a new record in the debut World Cup itself
21 year old Indian left arm spinner Shri Charani has played only 5 matches in this tournament and has taken 14 wickets in the same number of innings. He has achieved this success with an excellent average of 8.35 and an excellent strike rate of 8.57. In the entire tournament, he bowled with an excellent economy of 5.85 and conceded only 117 runs in 20 overs.

Had the Indian team reached the semi-finals or final, Mr Charani would have had a chance to break the record of taking the most wickets in a single edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup. Currently, this record is in the name of New Zealand’s Emily Carr, who took 15 wickets in the 2024 World Cup. However, Mr. Charani’s achievement has been even more special because this is his first T20 World Cup. With this, the record of taking most wickets in the debut Women’s T20 World Cup has now been registered in the name of Shri Charani.

At the third place, England’s Sophie Eccleston and West Indies captain Hayley Mathews have jointly taken 10-10 wickets.
