Describing Glenn Maxwell: Describing Glenn Maxwell's unbeaten 201 off 128 balls as the greatest ODI innings he has ever seen, Australia captain Pat Cummins said survival was the only thing on their mind when he came in to bat after Afghanistan had reduced them to 91/7 in the 19th over of their ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 match at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.

With Maxwell blasting 21 boundaries and 10 maximums and Cummins raising 202 runs off 170 balls for the unfinished 8th wicket partnership, Australia scored 293/7 in 46.5 overs and grabbed an improbable three-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat, chasing Afghanistan's score of 291/5 in 50 overs built on a first World Cup century for his country in World Cups by Ibrahim Zadran (129 not out off 143) and an 18-ball 35 by Rashid Khan.

But at the start, surviving the next few overs was top most on Cummins' mind as he joined Maxwell in the middle.
