Glenn Maxwell’s Performance in ODI World Cup 2023

If we look at the ODI World Cup 2023, Maxwell played a very crucial role and rescued Australia from losing the match against Afghanistan and secured third place in the Semifinals.

When the Aussies were reeling the score for Australia was 91/7, and the score they need to back is 291 as Afghanistan has a score of that. At that time, Maxwell got a chance to take charge. And he has done 201 scores, and 202 as he runs a partnership with Pat Cummins.

Maxwell did not take more runs, as his partner Pat Cummins also felt physically uncomfortable.

At the start, when we see the match between Afghanistan and Australia, there is no hope for Australia as Travis’s head was dismissed due to a duck Shan Marsh fell victim to Naveen, and Omarzai took two wickets in two deliveries, and all this took Australia into disappointment.

But at that time Maxwell’s performance kept the team in 3rd place in the semi-finals.
