Australia’s Glen Maxwell played what is being described as one of the best ODI innings ever on Tuesday night, wrestling victory from Afghanistan just when the Asian team seemed poised to chalk up a historic win.
The Afghanistan team seemed to dominate Australia, sending seven kangaroo players back to the pavillion with only 91 runs on the board while chasing 292, but after that, Glenn Maxwell took charge. He got injured several times while batting but did not pause the relentless onslaught on runs.
He played an unbeaten inning of 201 runs on 128 balls with 10 sixes and 21 fours and led his team to victory.
Australia’s victory against Afghanistan has helped Pakistan to keep their hopes alive of reaching the semi-finals. Afghanistan was also a contender for semis alongside Pakistan and New Zealand. Now Afghanistan is almost out of the semis race because their NRR (Net Run Rate) is too low and their last match is against South Africa.
Maxwell201 and #QudratKaNizam started trending on social media after Australia’s win has opened the door for Pakistan to reach the semis. Social media users are sharing hilarious reactions after Maxwell’s unbelievable inning.
Here are some reactions:
