"Mad Max Show": Glenn Maxwell's Explosive Double Ton Sends Internet Into Frenzy
Glenn Maxwell produced a sensational performance to guide Australia to a brilliant comeback win over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023 in Mumbai on Tuesday.

England have lost six of their seven matches in a disastrous title defence and play the giant-killing Dutch at Pune on Wednesday. It's the penultimate match for both teams and the Netherlands, who stunned South Africa and Bangladesh in the tournament, still rate their opponents with respect. "England are world champions. So, I think they would do what's necessary. They've prepared just as much," Van Niekerk told reporters. "In South Africa, where I'm from, there's a famous saying of never underestimate a wounded buffalo. So, I think we sit in a position where England's one of the best teams in the world."
