Australia to beat AFG by 3 wickets.
Chasing a target of 292 runs, Australia lost seven wickets in quick succession, but Glenn Maxwell’s unbeaten and unbelievable double century led Australia defeat Afghanistan by 3 wickets in the ongoing ICC World Cup match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on 7 November.
Batting second, the five-time world champions lost wickets of Travis Head (0), Davis Warner(18), Mitchell Marsh (24), Marnus Labuschagne (14), Josh Inglis (0), Marcus Stoinis (6) and Mitchell Starc (3) to Afghanistan bowlers in quick succession.
But Glenn Maxwell (201*) held his ground well and kept maintaining the run-rate by hitting boundaries and SIXES, despite facing issues with leg sprain. He even scored a double century in just 128 balls (twenty one 4s and ten 6s) and became the first Australian to do so in an ODI.
Supporting him on the other side was skipper Pat Cummins, who remained unbeaten, scoring just 12 runs in 68 balls, but didn’t let any more wickets to go in Afghanistan’s hands.
