Allrounder smashes ton in only 40 balls while David Warner also reaches three figures in 309-run victory
Allrounder reaches three figures in only 40 balls in DelhiAustralia’s World Cup campaign is gathering momentum after they demolished the Netherlands by a record 309 runs in Delhi on the back of Glenn Maxwell blasting the fastest century in tournament history.It was the biggest win in terms of runs in World Cup history, bettering Australia’s 275-run thumping of Afghanistan in 2015.
But it was the enigmatic Maxwell who will rightfully hog the headlines for days to come after putting together an innings remarkable even for him. Living up to his old nickname of “The Big Show”, Maxwell smashed the previous record for fastest World Cup century, set by South Africa star Aiden Markram at the same ground just 18 days ago.
The Victorian’s fireworks overshadowed David Warner becoming Australia’s outright leading century-maker in ODI World Cups after blasting 104. The left-hander survived a missed run-out chance when he was on 32 after Warner and Steve Smith ended up at the same end.
