In a stunning display of batting prowess, Australia scripted history by achieving the highest successful run-chase ever recorded against India in T20 Internationals. This remarkable feat unfolded during the third T20I clash in Guwahati on Tuesday.
Guided by the sensational performance of Glenn Maxwell, who struck a breathtaking hundred off just 47 balls, Australia secured a thrilling five-wicket victory on the last ball of the match. Maxwell’s aggressive yet calculated innings not only propelled Australia to victory but also set a new benchmark for successful run-chases against the Indian team.
This achievement surpassed the previous record held by South Africa, which successfully chased down a target of 212 runs against India in Delhi last year. The fact that Australia managed to surpass a formidable target of 223 runs adds to the significance of this victory.
Glenn Maxwell’s spectacular century not only steered Australia to victory in this specific match but also underscored his exceptional form and match-winning capabilities. This innings further solidified his reputation as a key player in the Australian cricket lineup.
This successful run-chase against India stands out as Australia’s second-highest in T20I history, with their highest being a memorable five-wicket win against New Zealand in 2018. During that encounter, Australia chased down an imposing target of 244 runs in Auckland.
The outcome of this match is bound to be remembered as a remarkable chapter in T20I cricket, showcasing the unpredictability and excitement that the format often brings. Australia’s ability to chase down such a substantial target speaks volumes about their batting strength and resilience, making them a formidable force in T20 cricket.
