Glenn Maxwell is an x-factor player for whichever team he plays for and is once again playing a key role for Australia in their bid to lift sixth 50-over World Cup title. In a crucial game World Cup 2023 game against Afghanistan at Wankhede, he displayed his magic with the ball, producing an important breakthrough for his side when Afghanistan seem in full control.

Maxwell broke a crucial 83-run stand between Rahmat Shah and Ibrahim Zadran on a pretty flat deck. He got the better of Rahmat Shah who has been in great form and has played a big role in Afghanistan's successful run-chases in this World Cup.

 He was looking in good touch in this game too and got a fine start before holding out at long off, in a bid to get one over the fence. It was the 25th over of the game and Rahmat Shah charged down the track, to loft it over long off with a straight blade. However, he failed to get enough power behind his shot and ended up hitting it straight to  Josh Hazlewood at long off.

He took an easy catch and Maxwell was seen pumped up, even splitting out some heavy words in process. Actually, the shot from Rahmat Shah was a repeat of the lofted drive he played some overs back against Maxwell. At that time, the fielder was inside the 30-yard circle and Rahmat got a boundary, but this time the fielder was at deep and it would go down as a false shot from Shah.

Afghanistan are still in a good position but they need a big score as the pitch is quite a belter and Australia have a powerful batting line-up.
