Men's ODI WC: I Just Wanted To Be Positive And Get My Movement Back, Says Maxwell After Winning Match Despite Cramps
MCA International Stadium: After Australia slumped to 91/7 in the 19th over, Glenn Maxwell told skipper Pat Cummins, who came into bat, should hang in around for a few overs to get the fightback going against Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.
Surely and painstakingly, Maxwell, who was adjudged the Player of the Match, and Cummins dragged Australia back into the game, capitalising on every chance that came their way.
Unable to move with severe cramps setting in, Maxwell again told Cummins that they should stay at the end where they were for a little bit until he could get some movement back. Treated by the Australian physio, Maxwell played one of the greatest One-day innings, hitting an unbeaten 201 off 128 balls and raising 202 runs for the unfinished 8th wicket partnership as Australia reached 293/7 in 46.5 overs, chasing Afghanistan's 291/5 in 50 overs.
