In 1997, Belinda Clark set a record by scoring the first-ever double century in an ODI, making history in both women’s and men’s cricket. She scored 229* runs against Denmark, a record that remained unbeaten for 21 years. As the captain of Australia, Clark led by example, inspiring many young cricketers.
In 2018, Amelia Kerr, at just 17, broke Clark’s record with a score of 232* runs against Ireland. Kerr’s performance included 31 fours and 2 sixes, making it one of the highest-scoring innings in women’s ODI history. She is also the youngest woman to score a century in any format of cricket.
