Most runs scored in one over in a T20 International (female)

Argentina’s records-shattering demolition of Chile in a T20 International (T20I) in Buenos Aires on 13 October 2023 produced one over that went for an unprecedented 52 runs. The unfortunate Chilean bowler, 15-year-old debutant Florencia Martinez, conceded 35 runs off the bat and 17 no-balls as Argentina openers Lucia Taylor and Albertina Galan ran amok.

The 14th over of Argentina’s innings played out as follows: nb-nb1-4-nb1-1-nb1-nb2-nb1-nb1-nb1-4-nb1-nb2-nb-4-nb-nb1-4-nb-nb1-nb-nb1-4.

Taylor advanced her score from 127 to 144 not out during the over, while Galan went from 85 to 103 not out.

Records set during the match included the highest team score in a (men’s or women’s) T20I (Argentina’s 427 for 1), the most runs scored by a player in a women’s T20I (Lucia Taylor’s 169), and the highest margin of victory by runs in a (men’s or women’s) T20I (364 runs).
