Through his whirlwind knock, he broke the record of fastest ODI World Cup century held by South Africa\u2019sAiden Markram, who reached three-figure mark off just 49 deliveries against Sri Lanka at the same venue and co-incidentally at the same pitch on October 7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell\u2019s 40-ball hundred, eventually making 106 runs off 44 deliveries, hitting nine fours and eight sixes, to score what is now overall the fourth fastest century in men\u2019s ODI cricket.He reached his fifty in 27 balls and then took only 13 balls to get a record-breaking century in a breath-taking assault over Netherlands\u2019 bowling attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Just about getting a read of the bowler. For those who bowl quick, my hands have to be faster. Some may go for six but generally I'm trying to get it just over the infield. Netherlands saved a couple of certain boundaries. Could've been a better score but they were outstanding in the field. The ball seems to travel here,\" said Maxwell in a mid-inning chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell\u2019s heroics, along with David Warner\u2019s sixth ODI World Cup century meant Australia made 399-6 in 50 overs, their second highest total in the history of the tournament. The carnage also meant Netherlands fast-bowling all-rounder Bas de Leede now holds the recordof bowling the most expensive ODI spell in history, with his figures of 2-115 in ten overs going past the 113 runs conceded by Mick Lewis and Adam Zampa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/10\/mens-odi-wc-australias-glenn-maxwell-smashes-fastest-century-in-odi-world-cup.JPG", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Australia\u2019s Glenn Maxwell smashes fastest century in ODI World Cup", "alt_title": "New Delhi: ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Australia and Netherlands", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Australia\u2019s Glenn Maxwell Smashes Fastest Century In ODI World Cup On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Australia\u2019s Glenn Maxwell Smashes Fastest Century In ODI World Cup, ODI World Cup: Australia\u2019s big-hitting all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has smashed the fastest hundred in Men\u2019s ODI World Cup history when.", "seo_keywords": "Glenn Maxwell, ODI World Cup, New Delhi, Arun Jaitley Stadium, South Africa, Sri Lanka, David Warner, Mick Lewis, Adam Zampa", "tag": "", "tagging": "Glenn Maxwell, ODI World Cup, New Delhi, Arun Jaitley Stadium, South Africa, Sri Lanka, David Warner, Mick Lewis, Adam Zampa", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-australias-glenn-maxwell-smashes-fastest-century-in-odi-world-cup", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1834", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-10-25 18:24:04", "updated": "2023-10-25 18:24:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Glenn Maxwell, ODI World Cup, New Delhi, Arun Jaitley Stadium, South Africa, Sri Lanka, David Warner, Mick Lewis, Adam Zampa", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-10-25 18:24:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-wc-australias-glenn-maxwell-smashes-fastest-century-in-odi-world-cup-131127" }
