Most runs conceded by a bowler in a One-Day International (female)

Leg-spinner Cara Murray (Ireland) conceded 119 runs from 10 overs, while three of her teammates went for more than 90 runs in their allotted 60 deliveries, as New Zealand plundered 491 for 4 – comfortably the highest team score in a One-Day International (female) – at the YMCA Cricket Club in Dublin, Ireland, on 8 June 2018. Murray did, however, take two wickets, including that of New Zealand captain Suzie Bates, stumped by Mary Waldron for 151.

Pakistan’s Shaiza Khan is the only other woman to concede more than 100 runs off her bowling in an ODI, going for 111 from 10 overs against hosts Australia in Melbourne on 7 February 1997 – a record that would stand for more than 21 years.

The unlucky Cara Murray had three of the five worst ODI bowling figures by runs conceded as of 25 October 2023, leaking 96 runs from eight overs, again against New Zealand but this time at The Vineyard in Dublin, just two days after her record-setting 119-run effort at the YMCA Cricket Club. On 25 July 2023 against Australia at a third venue in Dublin, Castle Avenue, Murray shipped 93 runs from 10 overs. Interestingly, she took two wickets in each of the three matches she played in Dublin.

Bas de Leede holds the unwanted men’s ODI record, conceding 115 runs playing for the Netherlands against Australia at the Cricket World Cup in Delhi, India, on 25 October 2023.
