Glenn Maxwell admitted he “wasn’t expecting” to hit a record 40-ball World Cup century in Australia’s ICC World Cup 2023 fixture against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Glenn Maxwell, nicknamed ‘The Big Show’ for his flamboyant hitting, clubbed eight fours and eight sixes in his run blitz as Australia piled up 399-8 against the Netherlands in New Delhi.

The stunning assault bettered the record of South Africa’s Aiden Markram who blasted a century off 49 balls against Sri Lanka at the same venue 18 days ago.

“It feels pretty good. I have been pretty cooked today so I wasn’t expecting much but it probably cleared my head a little bit to be able to go out there and play,” said Maxwell.

It was also the fourth-fastest century in all ODIs.

South Africa’s AB de Villiers leads the way with his 31-ball century against the West Indies in Johannesburg in 2015.

New Zealander Corey Anderson reached three figures off 36 balls against the West Indies at Queenstown in 2014 while Shahid Afridi of Pakistan made a century from 37 deliveries facing Sri Lanka in Nairobi back in 1996.

Glenn Maxwell, 35, playing in his 133rd ODI, was eventually out for 104, just short of his career-best 108 made against England in Manchester in 2020.

It was also comfortably his best score of this World Cup — his highest before Wednesday was 31 not out against Sri Lanka in Lucknow.

“I was just trying to get a read on the bowlers because I felt like I had enough time to change and adapt. Generally I am just trying to get any reverse sweeps over the infield.

“I thought the Netherlands were outstanding. It felt like they saved some certain boundaries in the first 25-30 overs.

He added: “It is a rock hard outfield. The ball can travel around here so if you get early wickets and get into the middle order, you can put run-rate pressure on them.”

READ: Glenn Maxwell smashes fastest World Cup century

DELHI: Australia’s hard-hitting batter Glenn Maxwell on Wednesday, rewrote history as he struck the fastest World Cup century in his side’s ICC World Cup 2023 fixture against Netherlands.

Maxwell smashed the fastest World Cup century, conceding just 40 deliveries to achieve the milestone.

He finished at a 44-ball 106 that featured nine boundaries and eight sixes.

Glenn Maxwell is the first batter in ODI history to score a century after having faced the first ball after the 40th over.

The right-handed all-rounder went after his Dutch counterpart Bas de Leede and played a pivotal role in pushing the latter to register the worst bowling figures in ODI cricket.

Coming out to bat at number six when Australia were 266/4 in the 39th over, Glenn Maxwell batted sensibly in the early phase of his sensational knock before switching gears.

He baton-charged the Dutch bowlers with belligerent hitting, the highlight of which was the 28-run 49th over, bowled by Bas de Leede.

For the unversed, the previous record was held by South Africa’s Aiden Markram. He scored his century in just 49 balls against Sri Lanka at the same venue in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.

Prior to that, Australia had a shaky start after winning the toss as they lost Mitchell Marsh in the fourth over at a meagre total of 28.

However, David Warner, fresh from his 163 off 124 against Pakistan, joined hands with Steve Smith and knitted a solid 132-run stand for the second wicket.

Both batters completed their fifties during the partnership before Aryan Dutt sent Smith back to the pavilion.

Smith scored a 68-ball 71, with the help of nine boundaries and one six.

David Warner, played an anchor role during his 84-run partnership with Marnus Labuschagne, dominated by the latter, who scored 62 in 47 deliveries.

Labuschagne’s 47-ball 62 featured seven boundaries and two sixes before he was caught in an attempt to clear mid-on off Bas de Leede.

Meanwhile, David Warned completed his 22nd and second consecutive ODI century in 91 balls but got out two balls later leaving Australia to 267-5 in the 40th over.

Meanwhile, captain Pat Cummins stayed with Maxwell on the other end of the partnership dominated by Maxwell’s onslaught. Cummins scored a mere 8 runs in the partnership of 103.

Glenn Maxwell’s 44-ball knock came to an end in the final over, before Cummins hit the last ball for four to end the Australian innings at 399.

DELHI: Netherlands’ all-rounder Bas de Leede on Wednesday, broke Mick Lewis and Adam Zampa’s joint record of the worst bowling figures in ODI cricket in the 23rd match of the ICC World Cup 2023 against Australia.

Bas de Leede was taken to the cleaners by the Australian batters in the 23rd match of the ICC World Cup 2023 here and consequently conceded a whopping 115 runs in his quota of 10 overs and bagged two wickets.

De Leede went for six sixes and 13 boundaries during Australia’s late onslaught which also included a 28-run 49th over against Glenn Maxwell, who recorded the fastest World Cup hundred, breaking Aiden Markram’s record.

Bas de Leede’s dismal bowling figures were the most expensive in the history of ODIs, surpassing Mick Lewis and Adam Zampa’s dubious records.

For the unversed, Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa joined the unwanted list, last month when he went for plenty against South Africa.

Zampa was ruthlessly dominated by in-form South African hard-hitting batters Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller.

The leg-spinner conceded 113 runs in his 10 overs and could not pick up a single wicket.

Notably, Adam Zampa’s haul of nine sixes was the joint-second worst by a bowler in an ODI and only behind Rashid Khan, who conceded 10 sixes against England in 2019.

Most expensive ODI bowling figures

Bas de Leede 115-2 (15)
Adam Zampa 113-0 (10)
Mick Lewis 113-0 (10)
Wahab Riaz 110-0 (10)
Rashid Khan 110-0 (9)

Meanwhile, Australia, after opting to bat first, racked up a mammoth total of 399/8 in the allotted overs, courtesy of a quickfire century by Glenn Maxwell after David Warner’s 93-ball 104.

Besides the two centurions, star Australian batter Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne made notable contributions as both scored sensible half-centuries.

Logan van Beek was the pick of the bowlers for the Netherlands, picking up four wickets for 74 in his 10 overs.

DHARAMSALA: South Africa sustained a second upset at the hands of the Netherlands as they fell to a 38-run defeat against the spirited Dutch side in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.

Set to chase 246, the strong South African batting lineup, which racked up the highest World Cup total against Sri Lanka in their campaign opener, bundled out for a paltry 207 in the 43rd over.

Proteas openers Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma started off cautiously with a 36-run partnership, which ended in the eighth over when Colin Ackermann got the former caught behind on 20.

Bavuma (16) soon followed in his footsteps after being castled by Roelof van der Merwe in the 10th over.

South Africa then sustained two more blows to their pursuit as Aiden Markram (1) and Rassie van der Dussen (4) perished cheaply, resulting in the side slipping to 44/4 in the 12th over.

Experienced David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen attempted to anchor the run chase as they added a cautious 45 runs to the total before Logan van Beek dismissed the latter to open the floodgates.

The right-handed batter scored a run-a-ball 28 with the help of four boundaries.

Miller then put together a brief 20-run partnership with Marco Jansen, who could score a 25-ball nine.

He then stitched a gutsy 36-run stand with Gerald Coetzee before both fell in quick succession to leave South Africa reeling at 147/8 in the 34th over.

David Miller remained the top-scorer for South Africa with a cautious 43. His 52-ball knock featured four boundaries and a six. Coetzee, however, could score a 23-ball 22.

Tailender Keshav Maharaj added valuable runs for South Africa at the backend but his 40-run knock was insufficient to avoid the upset defeat.

Logan van Beek led the bowling attack for the Netherlands with three wickets, followed by two each from Paul van Meekeren, Roelof van der Merwe and Bas de Leede while Ackermann struck out a batter.

Put into bat first, the Netherlands posted a commendable total on the board in the rain-affected match, reduced to 43 overs per side, courtesy of notable contributions from their lower-order batters.

The Dutch got off to a dismal start to their innings as Kagiso Rabada broke the 22-run opening partnership between Vikramjit Singh and Max O’Dowd (2) by getting the former caught at slip.

His opening partner O’Dowd, soon followed him back to the dugout in the next over, falling victim to Marco Jansen. He scored 18 in 25 balls, hitting four boundaries.

The Dutch kept losing wickets at regular intervals and consequently slipped to 140/7 in the 34th over.

With the side in heaps of trouble, captain Scott Edwards was joined by experienced all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe and the pair turned the game on its head.

Edwards and van der Merwe counterattacked South Africa with clean hitting.

The duo added 64 runs for the eighth wicket, conceding just 36 deliveries before van der Merwe was caught behind off Lungi Ngidi in the 40th over.

He played a crucial 29-run cameo, taking only 19 deliveries and smashed three boundaries and a six.

Netherlands’ number 10 Aryan Dutt made sure that his side did not lose momentum and supported Edwards with his quickfire 23. His nine-ball unbeaten knock featured three sixes.

Scott Edwards remained the top-scorer for the Netherlands with 78 not out in 69 deliveries, laced up with 10 boundaries and a six.

A late counterattack by the Dutch side put South Africa under immense pressure, which resulted in several fielding errors and yielded 32 runs.

Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen bagged two wickets each for South Africa while Gerald Coetzee and Keshav Maharaj struck out a batter apiece.

HYDERABAD: Mitchell Santner recorded the first five-wicket haul of the ICC World Cup 2023 to power New Zealand to a resounding 99-run victory over the Netherlands on Monday.

Set to chase a daunting 323, the Netherlands could score 223 despite Colin Ackermann’s half-century.

Ackermann waged a lone battle for the Netherlands with a gutsy half-century.

The right-handed batter put on notable partnerships with Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede and Teja Nidamanuru before finally perishing in the 33rd over, resulting in the Dutch side slip to 157/7.

He top-scored for the Netherlands with a 73-ball 69 which featured five boundaries.

Captain Scott Edwards (30) was the next notable run-getter for the Netherlands, followed by Sybrand Engelbrecht (29) while the rest of their batters failed against a strong New Zealand bowling attack.

Mitchell Santner spearheaded New Zealand’s attack with the ball, taking a five-fer while Matt Henry bagged three.

Put into bat first, New Zealand posted a commendable total of 322/7 in the allotted 50 overs, courtesy of Will Young, Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham’s half-centuries.

New Zealand got off to a flying start after being invited to bat by the Netherlands as they raced to 67 runs in 12 overs before losing Devon Conway (32).

Opening batter Will Young was then joined by Rachin Ravindra and together they knitted a solid 77-run stand in 84 balls.

Paul van Meekeren broke the partnership in the 27th over, as Will Young departed after scoring 70 off 80 with the help of seven boundaries and two sixes.

Rachin Ravindra (51) was the next man to depart after a 41-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell, who was then joined by the captain Tom Latham on the crease.

Mitchell (48) and Latham then scored 53 off 47 for the fourth wicket before Paul van Meekeren returned and broke another partnership as he bowled the former at a total of 238.

The Dutch bowlers took two quick wickets to reduce the Kiwis to 254-6, however, Latham stayed firm on his end to score 53 runs off 46 deliveries with the help of six boundaries and one six.

Latham departed after being out stumped off Aryan Dutt leaving New Zealand at 293-7, however, Michael Santner’s quick cameo helped New Zealand to 322 runs in their allocated 50 overs.

Santner gave a huge push to the total on the final delivery of the innings when he smoked two sixes off the no-ball and then on the free-hit bowled by Bas de Leede.

He scored 36 off 17, while Matt Henry remained not out at 10 off four.

Meanwhile, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe picked two wickets for the Netherlands.
