In about a week, the third edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) is set to begin. The tournament will embark on its exciting journey on Valentine's Day (February 14), promising to be an explosive T20 contest for fans. In the previous two editions, fans flooded the stadiums to witness a beautiful display of cricket, with batters not disappointing the crowd with high scores.

These batters have certainly left their mark with their performances, and now, with the third season right around the corner, let's take a look at the top run-scorers in WPL history: 

Leading the pack is the seasoned Australian batter with 676 runs in 18 matches, averaging 42.25, and has scored six fifties. The Delhi Capitals (DC) captain and opener will be looking to continue this momentum. 

Not far behind is the Aussie all-rounder with 600 runs in 17 matches, averaging 54.54 with a strike rate of 124.74, and has hit four fifties. Fans will be hoping the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star can smash more car windows as she did in the previous edition.  

The young Indian opener for DC takes third place with 561 runs in 18 matches at an average of 35.06. She boasts a strike rate of 168.46 and five half-centuries, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see her back in action after being left out of the Indian national side. 

India and Mumbai Indians (MI) captain sits in the fourth spot with 549 runs in 17 matches at an average of 45.75 and a strike rate of 137.93, including five fifties. She will be high on spirit and also keeping this edition as practice for the upcoming Women's World Cup. 

England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt rounds out the top five with 504 runs in 18 matches, averaging 36.00 with a strike rate of 132.28 and has scored three half-centuries. MI will surely be heavily relying on the all-rounder again.
