A masterclass double century by Glenn Maxwell, the first for his country in international cricket, helped Australia secure a semifinal spot in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as they defeated Afghanistan by three wickets in a crucial match. Maxwell's blitzkrieg in which he scored 201 runs came in 128 balls and comprised 21 fours and 10 sixes. Maxwell came to the crease when Australia were 49 for four chasing Afghanistan total of 291, and saw more wickets falling quickly with his team's score reading 91 for seven. Following the match, an Australian fan spoke to ANI and said, “Maxwell had some serious back problem and he was in pain...but like a true Aussie, the star that we love, he just got like I'm not walking off injured...it was a classic Australian fightback…”

"I was being bullied. I was angry, but I was not drunk," superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said, finally speaking about last night's incident at the Wankhade stadium. He says he is owed an apology. The actor has been banned from the stadium by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), which has also filed a police complaint accusing him of being drunk and misbehaving, abusing, manhandling, using filthy language against guards and abusing a woman. Shah Rukh says his children were "physically manhandled in the name of security," and he will file a written complaint against the MCA, which, he says, needs a lesson in polite behavior.
