Watch: Brainfade moment from Mitchell Starc, fails to review despite non-contact dismissal

In a surprising turn of events, Mitchell Starc found himself departing the crease, seemingly unsure of the circumstances leading to his dismissal. Facing a deceptive delivery from Rashid Khan, Starc instinctively went back in defence, unintentionally flicking the ball onto the off-stump. The resulting sound led to a moment of confusion, with Starc engaging in a brief discussion with Maxwell before accepting his fate. Despite not making contact with the ball, the dismissal left him puzzled, as subsequent replays confirmed his misjudgment.

Here's Mitchell Starc's dismissal: 

The catch by Ikram showed incredible athleticism by the player as he juggled the ball and dived full stretch to eventually catch the ball. 

Glenn Maxwell snatches victory from the jaws of defeat

Australia orchestrated a remarkable comeback, clinching a sensational victory against Afghanistan at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, courtesy of an extraordinary performance by Glenn Maxwell. Amid a challenging situation, with Australia faltering at 75 for 7, Maxwell's resolute batting display transformed the game. Despite grappling with a hamstring injury during the match, Maxwell's exceptional double-century propelled Australia to an astonishing triumph.

Displaying an exceptional blend of power and precision, Maxwell amassed a staggering 201 runs off a mere 128 deliveries, masterfully steering the chase of a daunting 291-run target in just 46.5 overs. His breathtaking innings left the cricket fraternity in awe, with many hailing it as one of the most exceptional displays witnessed on the international stage. Maxwell's resilience, coupled with his unwavering determination, turned the tides dramatically, solidifying his reputation as a dynamic force in the world of cricket.

All however is still not lost for Afghanistan. The Asian team can still qualify for the semi-final after winning their last group-stage match against South Africa. They would however need luck to be on their side as both New Zealand and Pakistan would need to either lose or drop below Afghanistan in terms of net run rate.
