Watch every match of The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Live with no ad breaks in play on Kayo Sports.Maxwell’s 106 off 44 balls laced with nine fours and eight sixes fired Australia to 399-8, a total their bowlers defended easily as the Dutch were dismissed for just 90 in 21 overs in New Delhi.
Their 103-run partnership was from just 43 deliveries — the biggest total for a seventh-wicket partnership for Australia at the World Cup.Maxwell was in mind-boggling form. When Cummins arrived at the crease, Maxwell was 11 from eight — and then went on to club an unforgettable innings. It’s fair to say Maxwell was in the zone and there aren’t too many who would say he didn’t do the right thing — no matter how brazen it was.
