ICC World Cup Australia vs Afghanistan: ODI World Cup 2023 continues to enthrall the viewers. Many records were broken at the tournament, some were broken even twice, but yesterday’s match surpassed all expectations.
The phrase “wrest victory from the jaws of defeat” was created precisely because of the phenomenal match played between Australia and Afghanistan at the World Cup. The two teams faced off in game 39 on November 7 and etched their names in the history books forever.
Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first. The Afghans scored a brilliant 291/5 on the scoreboard. Australia had to chase 292 runs, an achievable target given their skillful batting line-up. However, the Afghan spin attack reduced the Australians to 91-7 in 19 overs.
The chances of victory looked almost impossible, but Glenn Maxwell continued to bat as Australia’s last hope. And he put on the show of a lifetime. Even after the debilitating spasms, which at one point resulted in severe convulsions, Maxwell kept hitting. He had no leg movement, every hit was a pain, and he couldn’t even walk to perform a single.
But Maxwell’s fighting spirit was not to be underestimated. Captain Pat Cummins supported Maxwell as the pair steered Australia from trouble to victory. Maxwell scored his 11th ODI double-century and remained unbeaten on 201 runs in 128 balls. Australia beat Afghanistan by 3 wickets to advance to the semi-finals.
