Chasing a target of 292, Australia were 91/7 at one stage. They were so close, yet so far as Maxwell hit an unbeaten 201 to pull off one of the most unbelievable run-chases in the history of the tournament. Maxwell stitiched an unbeaten 202-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins, who scored just 12 runs off 68 balls during the epic stand.

Their four victories came against defending champions England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Netherlands.

Ravindra also contributed to the team's victory with a solid knock of 42. Chasing a modest 172 for victory, New Zealand rode on an opening stand between Devon Conway (45) and Ravindra to achieve the target with 160 balls to spare in Bengaluru. During the knock, Ravindra registered two massive records to his game.
Pakistan on Thursday found themselves staring at an improbable situation for a semifinal spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023, after New Zealand's five-wicket win over Sri Lanka with 26.4 overs to spare. Barring massive wins for Pakistan and Afghanistan against England and South Africa respectively, nothing can stop the Kiwis from locking the fourth and last semifinal berth.
