Glenn Maxwell’s phenomenal 120-run knock against West Indies in the 2nd T20 match at Adelaide Oval not only powered Australia to a monumental 241-4 but also drew him level with Rohit Sharma’s T20I century record.
Maxwell displayed his exceptional hand speed and bowler-dominating abilities during his blazing performance, which included 12 boundaries and 8 sixes. Together, he and Tim David scored 92 runs, which strengthened Australia’s dominant lead.
Rovman Powell’s resilient 63 off 36 and Andre Russell’s stunning 37 off 16 gave West Indies optimism despite a rocky start. However, the relentless pressure from Marcus Stoinis (3-36) and debutant Spencer Johnson (2-39) ultimately stifled their chase, restricting them to 207-9 in 20 overs. With the wickets of Josh Inglis, Marsh (29 off 12), and David Warner (22 off 19), Australia’s batting suffered early blows, falling to 64-3 in 6.4 overs.
Nevertheless, Maxwell’s heroics and contributions from other batsmen powered Australia to an imposing total. Australia is ready for the T20 series to be successful after winning the opening game in Hobart by 11 runs. The third game between the two clubs is scheduled for Perth, and it should be an exciting one.
