WC 23: Why Afghanistan Deserve Semis Berth More Than Pakistan, New Zealand | Sledging Room, Ep 82

The Cricket World Cup 2023 is entering the business end of the league stage and there have been some sensational matches. For those who questioned the absence of close matches, the World Cup is serving some thrillers and magical moments over the last few days. On November 7, 2023, the cricket world witnessed an extraordinary spectacle in Mumbai during a World Cup match between Australia and Afghanistan. The Australian team, led by Glenn Maxwell's phenomenal performance, clinched an improbable victory, sealing their spot in the semi-finals. Maxwell, battling through pain and exhaustion, single-handedly turned the tide of the game with a staggering score of 201 runs off just 128 balls. This feat not only marked his highest-ever One Day International (ODI) score but also set a new record for the highest individual score by an Australian batter in an ODI match. His innings, which included 21 fours and 10 sixes, was hailed as arguably the greatest knock in the history of limited-overs cricket. Produced and Sound Mix By Kapil Dev Singh
