AUS vs AFG: 'Mata Aayegi' will now head Glenn Maxwell, Virender Sehwag had already predicted this

Glenn Maxwell has registered his name in the golden pages of history by scoring a stormy double century against Afghanistan in the World Cup 2023. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell single-handedly led Australia to victory by 3 wickets and also took them to the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Afghanistan had set a target of 292 runs for Australia, in response to which Australia lost 7 wickets on the score of just 91. After this, Glenn Maxwell thrashed the Afghan bowlers. During this match, when Maxwell was caught on 33 runs and then got life from the review after being given out LBW, Virender Sehwag had predicted that 'Mata Aa Gayi' would happen to Maxwell.

Virender Sehwag had written in the post on X during Maxwell's batting... Wow, Afghanistan is on fire. Maxwell survives LBW. Now you can see her in Mata Aa Gayi mode. The Australia vs Afghanistan match will be interesting to watch. After this tweet by Sehwag, it really felt as if Maxwell had lost his temper. Despite facing problems, they snatched victory from the jaws of Afghanistan.

Facing only 128 balls, Maxwell played an unbeaten inning of 201 runs with the help of 21 fours and 10 sixes, while captain Pat Cummins returned to the pavilion unbeaten after scoring just 12 runs on 68 balls. Maxwell completed his double century with a six and Australia won by three wickets.

Australia has secured its semi-final ticket by defeating Afghanistan. With this victory of Australia, it has also become clear that now a semi-final match will be played between Australia and South Africa. Whereas the second semi-final will be played between India and the team which will finish at fourth position.
