Top 5 highest totals in ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

England became first team to score 300+ in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 1997.

A 300+ total used to be considered a safe total in women’s ODI cricket a couple of decades back. But in modern-day cricket, teams often fancy their chances to chase 300 runs, which has changed the mindset totally.

But there is a difference between scoring high totals in a bilateral series or in a high-profile tournament like the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup as scoring a big total can change the game. In 1997, England became the first team to cross the 300-run mark in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.

Even the 400-run mark has been breached in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. In this article, we will talk about the top five totals ever recorded in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup history.
