Australia were reeling at 91\/7 in a run-chase of 292 at the Wankhede Stadium, when Glenn Maxwell smashed an astonishing 201 not out off 128 balls while putting on a stand of 202 runs with captain Pat Cummins to cruise to their sixth straight win of the competition and into the knockouts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI just can\u2019t quite work out this Australian side. I just don\u2019t know how they are going because they are getting the job done and have been unbeaten since those first two losses. They have not been convincing (in their wins) so can they click and bring it all together? Are they peaking for that I wonder?\u201d said Healy on SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Opener Ibrahim Zadran scored Afghanistan\u2019s first ever World Cup century as the team posted 291\/5 in their 50 overs after electing to bat first. But Healy questioned if batting first was a wise decision made by Afghanistan at the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWho ever would\u2019ve thought that Afghanistan would get that close? Afghanistan batted really, really well and then their bowling (was outstanding). They were bowling brilliantly at the top of the order.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI just thought that they got the toss wrong. Why would you (bat first)? It seemed to be having success until Glenn Maxwell took it away from them. You don\u2019t want to bowl when it\u2019s dewy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Afghanistan\u2019s next match is against South Africa in Ahmedabad on Friday while Australia are slated to face Bangladesh in Pune on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mens-odi-wc-i-just-cant-quite-work-out-this-australian-side-says-ian-healy.jpg", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: I just can\u2019t quite work out this Australian side, says Ian Healy", "alt_title": "Mumbai: ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match between Australia and Afghanistan", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: I Just Can\u2019t Quite Work Out This Australian Side, Says Ian Healy On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: I Just Can\u2019t Quite Work Out This Australian Side, Says Ian Healy, Opener Ibrahim Zadran: Despite Australia getting a three-wicket win over Afghanistan to seal their place in the semifinals, legendary wicketkeeper-batter.", "seo_keywords": "ODI WC, Ian Healy, Despite Australia, Pat Cummins, Wankhede Stadium, Glenn Maxwell, SEN Radio, Opener Ibrahim Zadran, World Cup, But Healy, South Africa", "tag": "", "tagging": "ODI WC, Ian Healy, Despite Australia, Pat Cummins, Wankhede Stadium, Glenn Maxwell, SEN Radio, Opener Ibrahim Zadran, World Cup, But Healy, South Africa", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-i-just-cant-quite-work-out-this-australian-side-says-ian-healy", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1016", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-08 13:46:04", "updated": "2023-11-08 13:46:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "ODI WC, Ian Healy, Despite Australia, Pat Cummins, Wankhede Stadium, Glenn Maxwell, SEN Radio, Opener Ibrahim Zadran, World Cup, But Healy, South Africa", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-08 13:46:04", "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-i-just-cant-quite-work-out-this-australian-side-says-ian-healy-131923" }
