Glenn Maxwell brought his A-game to the fore after a couple of poor outings in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup smashing the fastest century of the tournament in just 40 balls against the Netherlands in Delhi. The all-rounder, however, wasn't pleased by the light show at the venue.
Glenn Maxwell scored the fastest ton in ODI World Cup history against the Netherlands in Delhi. He took just 40 deliveries to reach the milestone. South Africa's current stand-in skipper Aiden Markram previously held the record with a 49-ball ton.
Australia achieved their maiden win in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup after beating Sri Lanka by five wickets. The five-time champions are on the board and the man who took them to the finishing line, Glenn Maxwell, achieved a special world record of six-hitting on way to his 21-ball 31* cameo.
AUS vs SA: Glenn Maxwell impressed with the ball, taking two wickets in 10 overs for 34 runs, but he could not find the same mojo with the bat as he scored just three runs. The Aussie all-rounder was later caught vaping an e-cigarette in the dressing room after the fall of his wicket.
Team India ran out of fuel losing seven wickets for 53 runs as Australia won the third and final ODI of the series by 66 runs. This was Australia's first win after five consecutive losses in the format as they denied India of a historic whitewash.
