Maxwell 201* (128) runs riot against Afghan bowlers, propels Australia into semifinals

Glenn Maxwell's record-breaking double hundred scripted an epic 3-wicket victory for Australia against Afghanistan

Glenn Maxwell put up a stunning show with the bat in a crucial ICC World Cup 2023 fixture against Afghanistan, propelling Australia to secure a three-wicket win at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India, on Tuesday.

He came to bat when his side was 49-4 and terrorized Afghanistan’s bowlers, hitting them all over the stadium alongside skipper Pat Cummins, smashing a record 201* (128).

After being 91/7 in chase of 292, Maxwell’s brilliant knock secured a win for Australia with a confirmed semi-final spot.

Double hundred with one leg when the team was 91 for 7 while chasing 292 runs, it’s now history mate!

Glenn Maxwell now goes past Kapil Dev’s 175*, making it the highest score while batting at No.6 or lower in men’s ODIs.

It will be considered the best innings in 48 years of World Cup history.

Glenn Maxwell also became the first-ever batter to score a 200 in a chase in ODIs.

Take a bow! Possibly the greatest ODI innings of all time.
