9. 13 runs scored in total, with 10 extras

It happened during the qualifiers of the 2008 ICC Women’s World Cup. The match being played between the teams from South Africa and Bermuda saw what world cricket had never seen before. The incident unfolded in a manner that no one would have ever imagined to be.
Batting first, the women from Bermuda were able to put up a total of only 13 runs on the board. But, the twist was that only three of those runs came off the bat. All of the rest of them were extras thrown away by the Proteas women. But, when the team from South Africa came in to bat, they chased the total in just 4 balls. In their total of 15 runs, they got 10 extras. Those extra runs, which seemed to have burst into that scoreboard, came in the form of nine wide deliveries and a no-ball.
This meant that at the end of the match, which was won by the South Africans, only 8 runs were scored off the bat. The rest of the 20 runs, which amount to 71.4% of the total came in the form of extras. World cricket had never seen such thing happening on the field and in all probabilities will never do.
