Maxwell reaches 179, the new highest World Cup score for an Australian, surpassing David Warner's 178 vs Afghanistan in 2015.
Back-to-back sixes. Afghanistan out of ideas, the wheels are well and truly off.
And Maxwell makes it a double-century as he wraps up the match. Genuinely astonishing innings, you have to hand it to him and say it's the greatest played in a World Cup, if not in the whole format. Third-biggest knock in World Cup history (tenth-biggest in ODIs overall), but the biggest ever in a chase. Feel for Afghanistan, they should have had him on 33, but they were guilty of dishing up shite and waiting for him to hole out, and it just never happened.
