25 Oct, 2023 Sanjeev Waliaa

The ICC Cricket World Cup, Australia thrashed Netherlands by 309 runs. This is the biggest ever win in World Cup history by number of runs and second biggest ever in ODIs.

Australia opted to bat first and scored a massive 399-8 led by centuries from Glenn Maxwell and David Warner. In return, Netherlands bundled out for just 90 runs in 21 overs. Adam Zampa was pick of the bowlers clinching 4 wickets for just 8 runs in the 3 overs he bowled. Maxwell was named Man of the Match for his blitzkrieg innings of 106 off just 44 deliveries. Australia has further cemented their place at the 4th spot in the table with a healthy NRR after a rather poor start to their World Cup campaign.

India remains on top the table. They are the only undefeated team in the World Cup so far, having won 5 of their 5 matches so far. They are set to play defending champions England next on 29th October in Lucknow.
