Beth Mooney

Beth Mooney is a modern-day legend and the gold standard for batting consistency, known for her ice-cold composure and ability to deliver on the grandest stages. Born on January 14, 1994, in Victoria, Australia, she is a multi-format centurion and a cornerstone of the world-conquering Australian side. Her 2025 season was a statistical masterclass; she anchored Australia’s ICC Women’s ODI World Cup victory in November, most notably smashing a heroic 109 against Pakistan to rescue her side from a middle-order collapse. Earlier in the year, she made history during the Women’s Ashes by becoming the first Australian woman to score a century in all three international formats. Her dominance continued into the WBBL|11, where she finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 549 runs, single-handedly steering the Perth Scorchers to the final with an unbeaten 94 in the knockout stages.

Recognizing her as their most reliable pillar, the Gujarat Giants retained Mooney for ₹2.50 crore ahead of the 2026 WPL mega auction. After a 2025 season where she led the Giants to their first-ever playoff appearance and finished as their second-highest run-scorer (including a brilliant 96* against UP Warriorz), she enters the 2026 campaign as the undisputed leader of the 'Orange and Black.' For the upcoming season starting in January, Mooney will spearhead a formidable top order alongside Sophie Devine and Ashleigh Gardner. As the top-ranked T20 batter for much of the last few years, she remains the tactical heartbeat of the Giants, tasked with providing the stability and championship-winning mentality required to bring the WPL trophy to Gujarat.
