Today, we will look at the 10 highest run scorers in the men’s competition of The Hundred 2026.
Top 10 Run Scorers In The Hundred 2026
10) Matthew Short
Australian all-rounder Matthew Short played for the Welsh Fire this season, a team that finished fifth on the points table. He scored 238 runs in seven matches at an average of 39.6 and a strike rate of 140.
Short played a couple of fine innings for his side this season, such as his 60* against the Southern Brave, an innings that took his team to victory in a low-scoring encounter, and his 71 against the Manchester Super Giants, which proved in vain in a nine-wicket defeat.
Being a batting all-rounder, Short also got to spin his arm on a few occasions this season and ended up taking three wickets.
9) Paul Walter
English opener Paul Walter was brought into the Manchester Super Giants playing XI as a replacement for team captain Aiden Markram, who left the tournament midway due to personal reasons. And suffice it to say, Walter was an excellent replacement.
In just five matches this season, the 32-year-old scored 247 runs at a strike rate of 178.98 and a league-high average of 61.75.
In five matches, Paul Walter scored 37, 64, 44*, 80, and 22. His brilliant 80 off 46 in the Eliminator against the Sunrisers, Leeds, was essential in his team putting up a big total. He also managed to take two wickets this season with his left-arm medium pace.
8) Harry Brook
England limited-overs captain Harry Brook did not captain his side, Sunrisers Leeds, in The Hundred. The side formerly called the Northern Superchargers was instead led by Zak Crawley.
Despite not being the skipper, Harry Brook did have a solid tournament. In the nine matches he played this season, Brook scored 255 runs with an average of 31.87 and a brilliant strike rate of 180.85.
While the 27-year-old scored only a single half-century this season, he had three additional 40+ scores in the tournament, including a 49 in the Eliminator against the Super Giants.
7) Will Jacks
The English all-rounder played for the newly named MI London this season. The franchise was formerly known as the Oval Invincibles and saw Jacks emerge as their leading run scorer in a season where they barely missed out on the playoffs.
Will Jacks played eight matches this season and scored 263 runs at an average of 32.87 and a strike rate of 156.54. He also bowled quite regularly this season, despite not taking any wickets to show for it.
Jacks scored three half-centuries in a row in The Hundred 2026, of which MI won two. His best innings this season was most definitely the 31-ball-62, which came in a massive victory against eventual champions Manchester.
6) Joe Clarke
English wicketkeeper/batter Joe Clarke was a standout performer for the Birmingham Phoenix, a team that finished at the bottom of the league table. In fact, he is the only Phoenix player in the top 10 lists of run scorers and wicket takers this season.
Clarke, in eight matches in 2026, scored 291 runs at an average of 36.37 and a strike rate of 149.23. In context, the second-highest scorer for Birmingham this season was Sean Dickson, who scored 158 runs in eight games.
Joe Clarke scored three half-centuries this season and was the Player of the Match in the only match Birmingham Phoenix won this season, scoring 68 off 33 as his team made 214 runs in 100 deliveries.
5) Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler took over as the captain of the Manchester Super Giants after regular skipper Aiden Markram had to leave the tournament midway. But it has to be said that Jos, who has previously led England to a T20 World Cup victory in 2022, was a fantastic replacement.
Buttler played all 10 matches for his team in The Hundred 2026 Men’s competition and scored 334 runs at an average of 55.6 and a solid strike rate of 173.05.
The veteran wicketkeeper/batter scored four half-centuries this season, three of which were unbeaten. However, his best innings would most likely be the 50-ball-90 he scored against the Birmingham Phoenix.
4) Ben Duckett
Opener Ben Duckett was the highest run scorer this season for the Trent Rockets, the team that finished as the runners-up and could have very well lifted the title.
Duckett played an anchor role at the top of the order, standing on the crease like a rock while his teammates slogged to put up high scores. He scored 337 runs in nine matches this season at an average of 42.12 and a strike rate of 132.67.
Ben Duckett scored three half-centuries this season, all of which came in either low-scoring games or in matches where he had to anchor the innings. His best innings this season was the 75 runs he scored in a win against the London Spirit.
3) Ryan Rickelton
South African wicketkeeper/batter Ryan Rickelton truly had a season to remember. He finished the 2026 Hundred men’s competition as the highest run scorer for the Sunrisers Leeds, a team that finished third in the competition.
Rickelton played nine matches this season and scored 345 runs at an average of 49.28 and a strike rate of 173.36. He also scored three 50s this season.
Ryan Rickelton’s best innings in this tournament was his 94* in 42 deliveries against the London Spirit. Not only was this the highest individual score this season, but it was also the backbone of the highest-ever team score made in The Hundred’s history, as the Sunrisers made 241 runs against the Spirit.
2) Tim Seifert
New Zealand wicketkeeper/batter Tim Seifert was the highest run scorer for champions Manchester Super Giants in the 2026 season of The Hundred Men’s competition and was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament for having played a massive role in his team winning their maiden title.
Seifer had a memorable season, as he scored 394 runs in 10 matches at an average of 49.25 and a strike rate of 168.37. He also had the joint-highest Player of the Match awards with three.
Tim Seifert played some great innings this season. He scored the most half-centuries this season with five. His best innings was arguably his 40-ball-80* against the Sunrisers.
1) Mitchell Marsh
Australian T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has had a fantastic 2026 as far as franchise cricket goes. Earlier this year, he scored 563 runs in 13 matches for the Lucknow Super Giants. And now, he has ended The Hundred 2026 Men’s competition as the highest run scorer of the tournament while playing for the Sunrisers Leeds.
Marsh was the only player to score over 400 runs this season. In the nine games he played, he scored 416 runs at an average of 46.22 and a strike rate of 169.79. He also holds the joint record for the most Player of the Match awards won this season with three.
Mitchell Marsh scored four half-centuries in this season of the Hundred, with his best innings arguably being the 37-ball-76 he scored in that record-breaking game against the London Spirit.
