Scoring more than 2,000 runs in T20I format of cricket is considered a significant achievement. In 2014, England batter Charlotte Edwards became the first woman to score 2,000 runs in WT20I. Later in 2014, she also became the first player (either male or female) to cross 2500 runs.[1] She retired as the most prolific run scorer in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20Is), with a total of 2605 runs in March 2016. She remained as leading run-scorer (either male or female) for another more than 2 years until it was broken by Suzie Bates of New Zealand in June 2018. Bates became the first player (either male or female) to score 3000 and 3500 runs in T20 Internationals as well.[2][3]

In terms of innings, Australia's Beth Mooney is the fastest (67) to reach the 2,000 run mark, whereas Englands's Danni Wyatt is the slowest (105) to reach the mark.[4] As of July 2023, 17 players from 7 teams that are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have scored 2,000 runs in T20Is. Out of these 17 players, 4 players are from England followed by Australia and India (3 players each).
