In a history-making performance at the World Cup, Australia delivered a resounding 309-run victory over the Netherlands in Delhi, marking the largest winning margin ever recorded in the tournament's ODI history. The match's standout moment came in the form of Glenn Maxwell's remarkable century, the fastest in World Cup history, achieved with an astonishing century off a mere 40 deliveries.
Australia set the stage for their remarkable triumph by posting a formidable total of 399 for eight after winning the toss and choosing to bat. The team's remarkable innings featured centuries from both David Warner (104) and the explosive Glenn Maxwell (106).
The Australian batting display was nothing short of spectacular, and it was Maxwell's exhilarating century that left cricket enthusiasts in awe. His breathtaking performance showcased his extraordinary talent and ability to dominate the game. His century off just 40 balls was a remarkable feat, securing his place in the tournament's history books.
The Netherlands, tasked with chasing down this imposing target, faced an uphill battle from the outset. As wickets continued to tumble, it became clear that they were struggling to maintain any momentum in the run chase. Australia's Adam Zampa played a pivotal role in their demise, securing his third consecutive four-wicket haul. His relentless performance played a crucial part in bowling the Netherlands out for a mere 90 runs.
