ICC World Cup 2023: Glenn Maxwell's incredible 201*(128) leads Australia (293/7) to a fantastic 3-wicket win against Afghanistan (291/5)

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries for Maxwell.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can Maxwell pull off something like Kapil dev's 175?

 

[Ali Active]

Normally I'd be overjoyed but this will hurt Pak's chances. Some so called fans are even wanting it more than Pak.

this will not hurt pakistan Sa will smash afghanistan so their nrr will always be low than pakistan

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Normally I'd be overjoyed but this will hurt Pak's chances. Some so called fans are even wanting it more than Pak.

don't think pak need to worry. AFG NRR is bad and not sure how much they can pull by winning this game. If they lose to SA, they will still be out.

 

[7sins]

Desperately need Maxwell stonis special atleast get close to 200 or soemthing

 

[FearlessRoar]

Unbelievable stuff from Afghanistan. They are challenging big sides.

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 bad balls in a row.. All put away.

 

[batandballbattle]

If he can't pick up thte spinners he is going to be in trouble sooner than you think.

yeah looked lost against rashid

 

[Champ_Pal]

This pair is Aus last hope.

 

[7sins]

don't think pak need to worry. AFG NRR is bad and not sure how much they can pull by winning this game. If they lose to SA, they will still be out.

I think if they win by 150+ runs they can goto +0.100

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Australia should bat carefully for the next 10 overs. Run rate is not a problem

 

[Major]

They have but they will lie down. possibly a little cough 'gift' to ensure it.

Plz bring provide evidence that matches are fixed.

post being reported

 

[7sins]

Both of them are going for it. I hope they can smash 80-100 runs atleast

 

[FearlessRoar]

Behind the stumps, Gurbaz is putting pressuring on Aussie batters

 

[Kroll]

6 down

Edit - review

 

[Asif321]

Oh yeah get off !

 

[Major]

rashid khan gets stoinis

 

[Ali Active]

Gone i think

 

[jnaveen1980]

Matter of time. Clueless. Who would play reverse sweep against Rashid khan.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Gotta say the Indian local in the crowd has been fab after the initial few matches. Most Neutral matches had very good crowds. Good support for Afghans from locals in all the matches. Pak, BD have got good cheering too from the locals.

 

[Asif321]

Behind the stumps, Gurbaz is putting pressuring on Aussie batters

It’s ikram

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol kangaroo's lol

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pathetic from Stoinis. What was that sweep?

 

[sweep_shot]

Review time. That looked out.

 

[Mas-LFC]

RASHID KHAN STRIKES!!!

 

[soso_killer]

What a silly shot by Stoinis under the circumstances

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think it is stone dead.

 

[Asif321]

Damm one sided wins against Pakistan Srilanka England Dutch and now this

 

[rhony]

You clearly weren't following. Both were in great form prior to this wc.

When? Starc was flayed in SA. Boult has been avg too

 

[Major]

Why does stonis bat at no.6 or no.7 if he cant play spin. Might aswell bat in the upper order.

Had this been pakistan, they would had been employing pacers against stonis lol.

Infact that is exactly what babar did in the world t20 2021 semi finals

 

[7sins]

Wow people praise Rashid khan but he's having a crap wc only 7 wickets with an average of 45

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a silly shot by Stoinis under the circumstances

Matter of time. He had zero clue about which way ball turns.

 

[aukhan]

 

[Buffet]

Get Maxwell here.

 

[Kroll]

this will not hurt pakistan Sa will smash afghanistan so their nrr will always be low than pakistan

SA lost to part time Dutch postmen and delivery drivers. Not guaranteed by all means but hope so.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good job Rashid.

Now get the big show, please.

#GoAfghansGo

 

[sweep_shot]

Stoinis is gone.

AUS - 87/6.

 

[Ali Active]

honestly if afghans beat australia they deserve more than nz and pak to go through semis

 

[Sunzi]

Said it all tourney; if the openers (Warner) doesn't get off to a flyer, Australia has a soft underbelly which keeps getting exposed.

 

[Buffet]

Poor shot here.

 

[rhony]

That was a stupid shot. Beating Eng and Aus in a world cup. That's a phenomenal achievement for Afg

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow people praise Rashid khan but he's having a crap wc only 7 wickets with an average of 45

Now 39. Look at the ER. 4.65. They try to see him off mostly.

 

[aukhan]

Congrats Afghans.

Babar should be sacked after the England.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Woah. Facing Afghan brothers would be exiting in SF.

 

[MMHS]

This is blasphemous that Aussies have dropped Smith to accommodate this fraud all-rounder!!!

 

[Devadwal]

Gone . Australia six down .now only threat is Maxwell remaining

 

[7sins]

Lol that was coming stonis is awful player but he gets into the ipl team and Australian team on I don't know what basis

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

What a silly shot by Stoinis under the circumstances

Why are they attacking the spinners? Looks suicidal...

Aus vs Sa semi final I thought would be an easy win for Aus but looking at this match, SA should be favourites for that semi final

 

[soso_killer]

What a silly shot by Stoinis under the circumstances

What on earth was he thinking? A reverse sweep against a leg spinner

 

[Ahmed216]

Pak's loss to Afghan doesn't feel that bad now

 

[Major]

This is blasphemous that Aussies have dropped Smith to accommodate this fraud all-rounder!!!

he was unfit. Guy was very dizy and had vertiigo

 

[Asif321]

Noor hasn’t bowled yet lmao . What a humiliation

 

[Thephenom]

Australia loosing, surprise surprise

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some times stupid shots are a result of series of good balls. Stoinis just couldn't pick which way the ball was going.

 

[BaaliSoda]

This is blasphemous that Aussies have dropped Smith to accommodate this fraud all-rounder!!!

He is having Vertigo issues for the past 3 days.

 

[7sins]

Can they atleast get to 160-180

 

[soso_killer]

Matter of time. He had zero clue about which way ball turns.

Yeah, he was at sea

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are they attacking the spinners? Looks suicidal...

Aus vs Sa semi final I thought would be an easy win for Aus but looking at this match, SA should be favourites for that semi final

Asking rate is 6.11. All Afghans have are spinners.

 

[Buffet]

Blindly applying End template for flat pitch. If ball is doing something then it's a bad idea.

 

[Major]

i forgot all about noor ahmad

 

[7sins]

Some times stupid shots are a result of series of good balls. Stoinis just couldn't pick which way the ball was going.

Who to blame only Indians can pick these type of spinners out of the hand.

 

[RamLakhan]

The only team which deserves to beat India in knockout (if there's a slip-up by India) is Afghanistan! Which means they go all the way to win it! It will be just fascinating (like Sri Lanka in 1996)

 

[Yati]

Has Australia ever been upset in a world cup match?

 

[jnaveen1980]

English fans like Athers must be feeling better lol

 

[Asif321]

Afghanistan will give their 1000 percent now against SA . Sa are vulnerable Afghanistan should make everything of this opportunity

 

[Mas-LFC]

8 more overs of Rashid Khan. Goodluck with that!

It’s now a matter of how much by the Afghanistan win..

 

[Advaith]

Now match against South Africa comes to life and Afghanistan creating history one after another..

 

[soso_killer]

Why are they attacking the spinners? Looks suicidal...

Aus vs Sa semi final I thought would be an easy win for Aus but looking at this match, SA should be favourites for that semi final

If we get Warner and Head early we should fancy our chances

 

[7sins]

Lol noor comes in and nabi yet to bowl gun spinners

 

[BaaliSoda]

As long as Big show there in the crease Aussies are still with a chance. Need to get him out very soon, before he goes all guns blazing 40 balls 100.

Noor into the attack.

 

[Asif321]

The only team which deserves to beat India in knockout (if there's a slip-up by India) is Afghanistan! Which means they go all the way to win it! It will be just fascinating (like Sri Lanka in 1996)

What a occasion that would be

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who to blame only Indians can pick these type of spinners out of the hand.

Stoinis has been playing IPL for years. playing Rashidh khan as well. Never comfortable in these condtions. Same guy bullied entire Srilankan spinning uni in 2022 world T20 in Australia.

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Afghanistan!

 

[7sins]

If we get Warner and Head early we should fancy our chances

If sa bats first Australia should pack the bags at the toss

 

[jnaveen1980]

As long as Big show there in the crease Aussies are still with a chance. Need to get him out very soon, before he goes all guns blazing 40 balls 100.

Noor into the attack.

But one end is open.

 

[IAJ]

Stoinis is rubbish against good spin

 

[7sins]

Never get the hype with stonis but for some reason he always get in the ipl team and Australia limited over squad

 

[BaaliSoda]

But one end is open.

Hoping that loose end gets cleaned up Afghan spinners soon.

 

[Asif321]

Tbh talent coming Afghanistan is way more than BD Pak Srl

 

[Buffet]

If we get Warner and Head early we should fancy our chances

Aus is not looking good while chasing as well in this WC. It's a question of who bats first , lol
