NEW DELHI: Afghanistan's coach, Jonathan Trott, described Glenn Maxwell's phenomenal double century as a "bitter pill to swallow" as Australia executed a remarkable comeback to deny Afghanistan a significant World Cup victory.
Trott's Afghan side had already claimed victories over formidable teams like England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in the tournament and were on the cusp of another monumental success when they had Australia reeling at 91/7 while chasing a target of 292 in Mumbai on Tuesday.
