Australia Are ‘lucky’ To Have World-class Maxwell, Says Captain Mitchell Marsh
Chasing 173 for victory, Australia looked in trouble at 122/6, before the big-hitting Maxwell took charge with an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls, laced with eight fours and two sixes at a strike-rate of 172.22. He held his nerve to strike the winning runs off the penultimate ball of the chase and roared in delight after conjuring up a remarkable rescue act.
“Obviously, it's always nice to win the close ones in T20 cricket, and it was a little bit unorthodox, but I'm very thankful that Max got us over the line. You never know what's going to happen, that's for sure, but he's a world-class player, and he's been so flexible. I think he's batted in three different positions in each game and we're just lucky to have him, he does everything and he was class tonight,” said Marsh.
