Belinda Clark was the first woman to score a double century in an ODI. On December 16, 1997, she scored 229* runs against Denmark during the Women's World Cup at the MIG Ground in Mumbai. This was many years before women’s cricket gained widespread attention and even before Sachin Tendulkar's famous double century.
Clark was the captain of the Australian women's team. Her double century led Australia to a massive total of 412 runs. Denmark was all out for just 51 runs due to Australia's strong bowling. This match is one of the most historic moments in women's cricket.
Belinda's career began in 1991, and she retired in 2005. She became captain in 1994 and led Australia to win two World Cups in 1997 and 2005. She also led her team to the World Cup finals in 2000. Clark played 138 international matches and is considered one of the most inspirational figures in women's cricket history.
