In T20 cricket, wicketkeepers often have only a fraction of a second to make an impact. A sharp stumping can completely change the momentum of a game, especially in the middle overs when batters look to attack spin bowling. Over the years, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has seen several wicketkeepers produce exceptional work behind the stumps through quick reflexes, smart anticipation, and clean glove work.
Some keepers became specialists standing up to spinners, while others combined their wicketkeeping with leadership and important batting contributions. As the Women’s T20 World Cup continues to grow in quality and intensity, these names remain among the finest wicketkeepers the tournament has seen.
Alyssa Healy– 17 stumpings
Alyssa Healy holds the record for the most stumpings in Women’s T20 World Cup history with 17 stumpings in 42 matches between 2010 and 2024. The Australian wicket-keeper was one of the quickest behind the stumps and played a huge role in Australia’s dominance across multiple editions of the tournament. Along with her 17 stumpings, Healy also completed 16 catches, giving her 33 dismissals overall, the highest by any wicketkeeper in Women’s T20 World Cup history.
Her best performance behind the stumps came in a match where she recorded four dismissals, including two catches and two stumpings. Healy’s work standing up to Australia’s spinners was particularly impressive because she consistently created pressure on batters trying to attack in the middle overs. The 2020 edition at home was one of her best tournaments overall. While she starred with the bat at the top of the order, her wicketkeeping was equally important during Australia’s successful title-winning campaign.
Batool Fatima – 14 stumpings
Pakistan’s Batool Fatima remains one of the most effective wicket-keepers in Women’s T20 World Cup history. Between 2009 and 2014, she completed 14 stumpings in just 16 matches while also adding three catches. Her sharp glove work regularly helped Pakistan’s spinners create breakthroughs, especially when opposition batters tried to step out and attack.
Fatima’s best match behind the stumps saw her produce three dismissals, including two stumpings. Even though Pakistan did not consistently reach the latter stages of tournaments during her playing years, Fatima was one of the side’s most dependable performers.What makes her record even more impressive is the speed at which she achieved it. She remains among the wicketkeepers with the best dismissals-per-innings ratio in the tournament’s history.
Nigar Sultana Joty – 14 stumpings
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana is level with Batool Fatima on 14 stumpings, reaching the mark in 20 matches between 2016 and 2024. Bangladesh have traditionally depended heavily on spin bowling, and Nigar’s quick hands behind the stumps became a major asset for the side. Alongside her 14 stumpings, she also contributed three catches.
One of her best performances came when she completed three dismissals in an innings, including two stumpings. Her consistency behind the stumps has played an important role in Bangladesh becoming more competitive in ICC tournaments over the years. Apart from wicketkeeping, Nigar has also grown into one of Bangladesh’s senior leaders and most experienced players on the international stage.
Taniya Bhatia – 13 stumpings
Taniya Bhatia produced one of the most remarkable wicketkeeping records in the tournament despite playing only 10 matches between 2018 and 2020. The Indian wicketkeeper registered 13 stumpings and eight catches, taking her total dismissals tally to 21. Her chemistry with India’s spin attack, especially Poonam Yadav and Deepti Sharma, became one of the major strengths of the side during the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup.
Taniya’s quick work behind the stumps regularly allowed Indian bowlers to attack aggressively, knowing chances would not be missed. She was especially effective when batters tried using their feet against spin in the middle overs. She also recorded a best performance of four dismissals in an innings, including two catches and two stumpings. India’s run to the final in 2020 remains one of the standout phases of her international career.
Trisha Chetty – 12 stumpings
South Africa’s Trisha Chetty rounds out the list with 12 stumpings in 23 matches between 2009 and 2020. Chetty also added nine catches, taking her total dismissals tally to 21. She remained a reliable wicketkeeper for South Africa across multiple editions and adapted well to both spin and pace attacks.
One of her strongest tournaments came during the 2020 edition, where South Africa reached the semi-finals and looked one of the most balanced teams in the competition. Chetty’s calmness behind the stumps and safe glove work helped the bowlers maintain pressure throughout games. Her long career also made her one of South Africa’s most experienced players during an important transition period for women’s cricket in the country.
With another Women’s T20 World Cup approaching, these records could soon face fresh competition as a new generation of wicketkeepers continues to raise the standard of keeping in women’s cricket.
