NDTV
Glenn Maxwell broke several records as he scored an unbeaten knock of 201 runs form 128 balls to take Australia into the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup 2023.
The Cricket World witnessed the Maxwell Mayhem on Tuesday as the Australia all-rounder set the stage on fire with his unbelievable unbeaten knock of 201 runs against Afghanistan in a World Cup match. Record books underwent a major re-writing as Maxwell helped Aussies script a miraculous win over Afghanistan, securing a place in the semi-finals of the tournament. Maxwell's unbeaten 201 came in 128 balls, with the help of 21 fours and 10 sixes. He struck at a strike rate of over 157. In the process, he went on to make history, achieving several new milestones in his illustrious cricketing career.
- This is Australia's first-ever ODI double century and overall the 11th instance of a double hundred in 50-over cricket. Maxwell overtook Shane Watson's 185* against Bangladesh in 2011.
- This is also the highest individual score in an ODI run-chase. Here, Maxwell toppled Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman, who smashed 193 against South Africa in 2021.
- Maxwell's double ton has surpassed Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry's 194 against Bangladesh in 2009 as the highest score by a non-opener in ODI cricket history.
- Maxwell's 201* is only the third instance of a double hundred in ODI Cricket World Cups, with Chris Gayle (215 against Zimbabwe in 2015 for West Indies) and Martin Guptill (237 against West Indies in 2015 for New Zealand) being the other two instances.
