Australian openers David Warner and Travis Head provided a blazing start after they were sent to bat first by New Zealand. The duo racked up a quickfire 175-run partnership in just 19.1 overs. However, wickets tumbled at regular intervals as Australia slipped to 274-5. Mitchell Santner ended Mitchell Marsh’s scratchy (36 off 51), after which Maxwell entered the scene and played a blistering cameo of 41 off 24 balls. Fresh from scoring the fastest World Cup ton off just 40 balls against the Netherlands, Maxwell smocked a gigantic maximum, stealing everybody’s attention.
At the end of the 42nd over, Australia were 306-6. Coming to bowl the next over, Santner was treated with disdain. He bowled the third ball full, just outside off. Maxwell shimmied forward to come close to the line of the ball and swiped it for a monstrous six down the ground, dispatching it over the Dharamshala roof. The distance reads 104 m, the longest in the ongoing tournament. Shreyas Iyer follows next with a 101 m six against Afghanistan.
Later in the innings, Pat Cummins’s whirlwind 37 (14) took Australia to 388 before they were bowled out in the last over.
