Playing in an ODI for the first time since December 2020, Glenn Maxwell propelled Australia to a thrilling two-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in their rain-affected first ODI on Tuesday.
Smoking an unbeaten 80 off 51 balls, Maxwell rescued the injury-hit Australia after walking to the crease with the total at 189-5 and 93 runs required from 84 balls. And what he did next was something unbelievable. He pulled off Australia's greatest chase against Sri Lanka and hastened the victory with three-quarters of his runs coming from boundaries, which included six sixes and six fours.
