With his scintillating unbeaten knock of 201 off 128 balls, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell scripted multiple records to his name. Thanks to Maxwell smashing 21 boundaries and 10 maximums and skipper Cummins scoring 202 runs off 170 balls for the unfinished eighth wicket partnership, Australia scored 293/7 in 46.5 overs and pulled an unlikely three-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat, chasing Afghanistan's score of 291/5 in 50 overs.

Here are all the records the Aussie shattered in the process: 

Glenn Maxwell's 201* is the highest ever for Australia in the men's format, the highest ever for a non-opener, and the highest in an ODI run-chase. In addition, it was the third double century in World Cup history and the eleventh in ODIs. At the 1983 World Cup in Tunbridge Wells, against Zimbabwe, Kapil Dev's 175* was the highest score from a player ranked No. 6 or lower in ODIs.
