Australia, five-time champions, found themselves at 91-7 while chasing 292 in Mumbai. They appeared to be on the brink of joining the list of notable teams beaten by Afghanistan in this edition, alongside title-holders England, 1996 winners Pakistan, and 1992 World Cup champions Sri Lanka. However, Maxwell, who was given a reprieve when dropped on 33, responded magnificently under testing conditions. He concluded the match with his 10th six, achieving a World Cup double hundred and becoming only the third batsman in history to reach this milestone in the tournament.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/icc-world-cup/news/it-would-have-been-nice-if-it-was-a-chanceless-knock-double-centurion-glenn-maxwell-after-stunning-win-over-afghanistan/articleshow/105048451.cms
