Australia vs Afghanistan World Cup 2023 Highlights: Player Of The Match
Australia’s batter Glenn Maxwell was named player of the match for his splendid double hundred, which booked his team’s spot in the ICC World Cup 2023 semi-finals.
“I was very lucky. I wish this inning could have been chanceless. I was given a couple of chances and I had to make the most out of it. At one stage, Australia were down at 91/7, staring at a likely huge defeat against Afghanistan. However, Maxwell stitched a 200-run partnership with skipper Pat Cummins to turn the game around. I was trying to remain positive and attack the bad balls. I had to jump on the chances that I got”
