The highlight of her career in the league came on August 14, 2023, when she scored 118 runs off 61 balls against Trent Rockets at Sophia Gardens — the first century in The Hundred’s history (men’s or women’s). That season, she scored 290 runs, finishing among the top batters of the tournament. From 2021 to 2025, she represented two teams and accumulated around 825 runs, continuing as captain of Welsh Fire.

Women’s Big Bash League
Tammy Beaumont joined the WBBL in 2016, signing with Adelaide Strikers as an overseas marquee player. Across different teams, she became one of the league’s most reliable international batters. After two strong years with Adelaide, she joined Melbourne Renegades in 2019, filling in for Amy Satterthwaite, and later moved to Sydney Thunder, where she partnered with Heather Knight.
Her standout performance came on October 22, 2022, when she scored an unbeaten 77 off 59 balls for Sydney Thunder against Perth Scorchers — her best WBBL innings. Across her WBBL career, Beaumont has played over 68 matches for three clubs, contributing both stability and experience to each side.

Domestic career
Tammy Beaumont began her domestic journey with Kent in 2007, making an early impression as a teenager. She started as a middle-order batter and part-time wicketkeeper, recording runs, stumpings, and run-outs in her debut season. The same year, she earned selection for the England Development Squad at the European Championship, establishing herself as one of Kent’s most promising young players. Over the years, Beaumont became a pillar of Kent’s dominance in English women’s cricket, contributing heavily to multiple County Championship titles throughout the 2010s.
When England introduced the semi-professional women’s franchise structure, Beaumont joined Surrey Stars (2016–2017) and later Southern Vipers (2018–2019) in the Kia Super League, transitioning fully into a top-order role. Her move to the Vipers marked a new phase of consistency, with regular match-winning innings in both the 50-over and T20 formats.
Following the ECB’s 2020 regional reorganisation, Beaumont joined Lightning, later renamed The Blaze, representing the East Midlands in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy (RHFT) and Charlotte Edwards Cup (CEC). In the 2023 season, she amassed 317 runs in the RHFT (average 52.83, top score 83) and 191 runs in the CEC, leading The Blaze to several key victories, including a standout 83 (62) against Northern Diamonds.
Her domestic achievements extend beyond England. In Australia’s WBBL, Beaumont has played for Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Thunder, and Melbourne Renegades, gaining recognition as one of the league’s most experienced overseas professionals.
In The Hundred, she first played for London Spirit (2021) before becoming captain of Welsh Fire (2022–present). Her 118 off 61 balls against Trent Rockets in August 2023 remains the highest individual score in The Hundred’s history and the first century by a woman in the competition.
