Glenn Maxwell's Record-Breaking Performance Guides Australia to World Cup Semi-Finals; Expected to Play Against Bangladesh Despite Cramps

Maxwell's unbeaten double century, hailed as the greatest one-day international innings of all time, secures Australia's semi-final spot as he continues to inspire a new generation with his powerful batting.

Glenn Maxwell's extraordinary performance, scoring an unbeaten double century in a World Cup match against Afghanistan, has been hailed by Australia coach Andrew McDonald as an inspiration for the next generation of cricketers.
Maxwell's powerful batting, which included 10 sixes and 21 fours, helped Australia secure a spot in the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, averting a potential shock defeat.
Despite suffering from cramps during his landmark innings, Maxwell is expected to play in Australia's final round-robin match against Bangladesh, according to teammate Josh Hazlewood.
Maxwell's approach to the game is likened to cricket stalwarts Ricky Ponting and AB de Villiers, with McDonald noting that he 'stretches the boundary' in similar fashion.
Though Maxwell considered retiring mid-way due to intense physical discomfort, he continued the innings and has since been praised for his resilience and determination.
