Australia needed 12 runs off the last two overs and Maxwell ensured his side secured the win with nine balls to spare, hitting Dushmantha Chameera for back-to-back sixes.
Maxwell was involved in two crucial partnerships with the lower order to see Australia over the line. He had been given out leg before wicket to Chamika Karunaratne on 10 but successfully overturned the decision after reviewing. From thereon, there was no stopping him as he brought up his 23rd ODI half-century with a reverse hit for four.. Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc are not available for selection with injuries while Kane Richardson and Sean Abbott have returned home.
