The Women’s Premier League has become a stage where even very big totals no longer feel safe. From dramatic last-ball finishes to blistering, one-sided chases, the WPL has delivered some incredible run-chases that have left fans breathless. Even recent seasons have shown how fearless the batting line-ups have grown — Gujarat Giants’ 208 against UP Warriorz in 2026 being a fresh reminder.
Top 5 Highest Successful Run Chases in WPL History
5. 172 — Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals (2024)
Delhi Capitals posted 171 for 5 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, thanks largely to a brilliant 75 from Alice Capsey and quick runs from Jemimah Rodrigues. Mumbai Indians kept their cool while chasing and produced a tense finish. Yastika Bhatia and captain Harmanpreet Kaur steadied the innings under pressure, and the match went to the last ball — Mumbai sealed it in dramatic fashion to complete a four-wicket win.
4. 179 — UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants (2023)
In the inaugural seasons of the WPL, UP Warriorz showed that 170s and beyond were chaseable without a single dominant innings. Chasing 179, the Warriorz relied on contributions across the batting order, rotating strike well and managing the middle overs. The collective effort made this one of the early indicators that high-scoring pursuits were becoming common in the league.
3. 189 — Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants
This match is remembered as one of the most explosive batting displays in WPL history. Gujarat Giants posted 188 for 4, powered by the likes of Laura Wolvaardt and Ashleigh Gardner. RCB responded in style: Sophie Devine tore through the bowling with an astonishing 99 off 36 balls, turning the game on its head. Royal Challengers completed the chase emphatically in just 15.3 overs.
2. 191 — Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Giants
Another high-scoring encounter involving Gujarat Giants saw them post 190 for 7, with Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalatha doing much of the heavy lifting. Mumbai Indians again proved their chasing mettle, pacing the innings cleverly and accelerating at the right moments to edge over the line in a nail-biting finish.
1. 202 — Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Giants (2025)
The highest successful chase in WPL history came at the start of the 2025 season. Gujarat Giants piled up 201 for 5, led by Ashleigh Gardner and Beth Mooney. RCB lost early wickets but never panicked — Ellyse Perry held the innings together in the middle before Richa Ghosh produced a brilliant finishing act. Ghosh, along with Kanika Ahuja, guided RCB over the line with nine balls to spare in a superb run chase.
