Nat Sciver-Brunt Nears England's Third-Highest ODI Run-Scoring Record

As of October 7th, 2025, England's star all-rounder and ODI captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, is poised to achieve another major milestone in her illustrious career. With England set to face Bangladesh in their next Women's World Cup match in Guwahati on Tuesday, Sciver-Brunt needs just 10 more runs to become England's third-highest run-scorer in women's ODIs.

The 33-year-old Sciver-Brunt, widely regarded as one of the finest modern-day all-rounders in the women's game, has already amassed an impressive 4,092 runs in 122 ODIs. Her run tally has come in 108 innings at a stellar average of 46.50 and a strike rate nearing 100, including nine centuries and 25 half-centuries. Her unbeaten 148 remains her highest score in the format.

Sciver-Brunt currently trails former wicketkeeper-batter Claire Taylor, who scored 4,101 runs in 126 ODIs for England at an average of 40.20. Topping the list for England is former captain Charlotte Edwards, whose 5,992 runs in 191 matches make her the country's leading ODI run-getter.

Sciver-Brunt's rise up the run-scoring charts reflects not just her longevity, but her ability to deliver under pressure. Her World Cup record is equally impressive, having scored 805 runs in just 17 innings at a formidable average of 57.50 and a strike rate of 99.13. She has scored four centuries on the World Cup stage, a joint record in the tournament's history, along with two fifties.

While she didn't get a chance to bat in England's dominant opening win against South Africa, where she chipped in with two wickets in a dismantling of their opponents for 69, Sciver-Brunt will be eyeing the opportunity to add another feather to her cap against Bangladesh. All eyes will be on the England captain as she looks to rewrite the record books once again.
