#2: Belinda Clark, Australia (229* off 155 balls)
Deciding to bat first in a league match of the 1997 World Cup against Denmark, the Australian captain demoralized the Denmark bowling line-up.
Batting on a docile Mumbai track, Belinda dominated the Danish bowlers notching up 22 boundaries with amazing foot-work and stroke-play. The marathon innings of 229* from 155 balls which lasted for 3 hours, propelled Australia to their highest ever score of 412-3.
With a mammoth total by their side, Australian bowlers dismissed the Denmark team for a paltry score of 49, thereby registering a victory by a huge margin of 363 runs.
Milestone: With this special knock, Belinda became the first cricketer to register a double hundred in ODI cricket (both Men's and Women's division) and held the record for highest score in women's cricket for over two decades
