NEW DELHI: Afghanistan could not have imagined losing the game after reducing five-time champions Australia to 91/7 after putting up a challening 291/5 on the board, but Glenn Maxwell had other ideas.
Battling cramps while batting at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, Maxwell scripted an unthinkable comeback from a precarious situation to hit a 128-ball 201 not out as the Aussies not just chased down the target for a three-wicket win and a place in the semi-finals, but also had 3.1 overs to spare.
