Australia captain Pat Cummins said on Wednesday that the five-time champions are slowly getting into a rhythm and have now started playing to their potential in World Cup 2023. After losing the first two matches against India and South Africa in the World Cup, the Australian team then defeated Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the Netherlands. “It was a complete game,” Cummins said after the 309-run thrashing of the Netherlands. I am very happy. We have started playing to our potential. Once again a great performance by the batsmen.
“It was a tremendous innings,” he said of Glenn Maxwell, who scored a new record century in just 40 balls. Australia will now face New Zealand on October 28 in Dharamsala. Cummins said, “The New Zealand team is good. He has played in Dharamshala before. It’s a World Cup match and we’re looking forward to it.” Player of the match Maxwell said the innings boosted his confidence. He said, “I continued to play according to the match situation. Thought nothing and came down. Some decisions were good. Gave myself time and gained confidence.
Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said his bowlers failed to impress. He said, “The Australian team is very good. We should have done well but the bowlers didn’t. The full credit of this win goes to Australia. After scoring 399 runs for eight wickets, Australia reduced the Netherlands’ innings to 90 runs in 21 overs. This is the biggest win in terms of runs in the World Cup and the second biggest in ODIs. The record for the biggest win is held by India who defeated Sri Lanka by 317 runs this year.
