Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins registered the highest eighth wicket in World Cups in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 match between Australia and Afghanistan at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The Australian duo put on 202 runs in 170 balls and led the five-time champion to a come-from-behind three-wicket win. Maxwell became the first male Australian cricketer to score a double-hundred in ODIs and his contribution in the 202-run stand was a whopping 179 runs, while Cummins eked out 12.
The pair beat the previous best of 117 runs, set by Zimbabweans Iain Butchart and Dave Houghton against New Zealand in 1987. However, the Kiwis went on to win that game by three runs.
