There’s basically no fun in a T20 game if there’s no runs on the board and for that, we have to give it up to the batsmen batters who make this game as entertaining as it is. Fours, sixes, fifties, and the big hundreds are what batters life for in their cricketing careers and some of them who do it consistently over time go down in the history books in certain tournaments or leagues.
Here on this page, we’re exploring one such record book in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) where some of the best women’s cricketers in the business are being featured. We’re talking about those players who have gone on to become centurions in the WBBL history from start till date, some who have scored WBBL centuries on one occasion and others on multiple occasions as well.
We’ve put up a complete WBBL centuries list below and in summary, there are as many as 23 individual centuries in the history of this women’s tournament (updated 22nd October 2023), with a total of 12 unique centurions and quite a few of these players going on to make multiple entries into the WBBL individual centuries list.

The first player to have scored an individual century in the Women’s Big Bash League was Australia’s very own Grace Harris and that piece of history is never going to change. Many names joined after her and she herself got multiple career WBBL centuries but she’ll always be known as the first to get a WBBL ton. See our complete and in-depth WBBL centuries list below…
