The left-handed opener contained his natural aggressive self before swinging his arms free to build a 166-run knock, which steered Australia to a mammoth 381 for five, their second highest score in World Cup.
David Warner, who had hit a hundred against Pakistan as well, added 121 runs with his skipper Aaron Finch (53) in a risk-free opening partnership and then raised a 192-run stand with Usman Khawaja (89).
He completed his 16th ODI hundred, his sixth 150-plus knock, which came off 147 balls with 14 hits to the fence and five over the ropes.

Faced with a daunting task to chase down the massive target, the 'Tigers', as expected, took the fight to the rival camp but ended up with 333 for eighth in stipulated overs.
