Cricket World Cup 2023: Best XI of the fourth week
Noting some superb performances between October 26 to November 1, it's time to prepare the best XI of the tournament’s fourth week.
5. Glenn Maxwell
After struggling with the bat in initial matches, Glenn Maxwell has regained his form. In Australia's biggest World Cup victory (by runs) against the Netherlands in Delhi, the right-handed batter scored the fastest World Cup ton in just 40 balls. Maxwell carried his fine form to Dharamshala and took New Zealand’s bowling attack to the cleaners.
Against the Black Caps, the 35-year-old showed his relentless side with the bat again. Following the sensational performances from the top-order batters, Maxwell wreaked havoc on bowlers and contributed 41 runs to his team in 24 deliveries with five fours and two sixes.
Maxwell also supported Adam Zampa with the ball to reinforce Australia’s spin attack. The veteran picked up the prized scalp of New Zealand’s middle-order batter Glenn Phillips, who could’ve supported James Neesham in pulling off the humongous target.
