The World Cup had never seen anything like it before since it commenced in 1975.

One man, Australian batter Glenn Maxwell changed everything and created history in a way none expected.

At 91 for 7 needing a further 201 from 31.3 overs the Australians were staring at defeat with Afghanistan breathing down hard all poised to bag another goose to add to three more already in the basket with England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka falling victim.

Like a miracle on the pitch the one-legged Maxwell made the exact number against his name, 201 the first double century by an Australian in ODI cricket.

The one-legged Maxwell battling cramps finished like a wounded animal taking Australia to victory.
28-1
