What we witnessed last night was just epic! The sheer madness of Glenn Maxwell 😍🔥👏 he was just brilliant.

It seemed like an impossible win for Australia but Maxwell single-handedly guided Australia to clinch a thrilling 3-wicket win against Afghanistan.

Australia was 91/7 but Maxwell blew away the match with a brilliant unbeaten 201 knock to help Australia qualify for the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup.

Batting with a strike rate of 157, Maxwell took 128 deliveries to reach his double century. He slammed 21 fours and 10 sixes to reach his double ton and thus became the first player to score a double hundred while chasing in ODIs. Among the multiple records that he has shattered, Maxwell has become the first Australian to score a double hundred in the Cricket World Cup.
