While the first scores of 400+ in ODIs were scored in 2006 in the men’s game, they happened twice as far back as 1997 in the women’s game. New Zealand made 455-5 in 50 overs against Pakistan in January 1997. They bowled Pakistan out for 47, winning by a mind-boggling 408 runs, another record in all ODIs. It goes to show the great disparity in talents available to women’s teams in various countries.
