In the sport of cricket, a century is a score of one hundred or more runs by a batter in a single innings. Refer to entry for ton. In a women's Twenty20 match, each team plays a single innings, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs. Law 13.6.1 All matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of twenty overs. All matches shall be of one day's scheduled duration. A women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) is an international cricket match between two teams, each having WT20I status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport's world governing body. The Twenty20 format was originally introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board for the men's county cricket competition, with the first matches contested on 13 June 2003 between the English counties in the Twenty20 Cup. The first women's Twenty20 International match took place on 5 August 2004 when New Zealand defeated England by nine runs at the County Cricket Ground in Hove. This match was held six months before the first men's Twenty20 International, which was contested between Australia and New Zealand in February 2005.
The first century in a WT20I match was scored by Deandra Dottin of the West Indies. Dottin posted 112 not out against South Africa in the opening match of the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20 at Warner Park in Basseterre. Dottin's innings remains the fastest WT20I century (off 38 deliveries), and is the WT20I century with the highest strike rate (248.88). Batting at number six, Dottin's innings is one of two occasions where a WT20I century has been scored by a player batting at number five or lower. The other was when India's Harmanpreet Kaur, who came in at number five, posted 103 against New Zealand during the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20.
Esha Oza of the United Arab Emirates has scored 5 WT20I centuries, the record. Chamari Athapaththu of Sri Lanka and Laura Wolvaardt of South Africa follow with 4 centuries each. Rebecca Blake of Romania, Fatuma Kibasu of Tanzania, Hayley Matthews of the West Indies and Danni Wyatt-Hodge of England have three centuries each. Wyatt-Hodge's first two WT20I centuries were scored in the second innings of the match; two of only six instances of centuries in the second innings. There have been only three occurrences where a team was defeated in spite of a player scoring a century, and seven occasions where two WT20I centuries were scored in the same match.
The highest individual score of 169 in WT20Is was achieved by Lucia Taylor of Argentina. At 41 years and 364 days, Bahrain's Deepika Rasangika scored 107 not out against Saudi Arabia in December 2025 and became the oldest player to score a WT20I century. At the age of 15 years and 223 days, Rwanda's Fanny Utagushimaninde became the youngest player to score a WT20I century when she made 116 against Ghana in 2026. The only woman to have scored back-to-back T20I centuries is Maria Castiñeiras for Argentina against Chile in October 2023.
, a total of 92 centuries have been scored by 62 different players from 33 national teams after over 2,900 WT20I matches.
