Man of the Match Glenn Maxwell of Australia celebrates after reaching his century — the fastest in World Cups — against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Even after two centuries, a total of nearly 400 runs, and a victory of 309 runs, Pat Cummins believes that his Australian team hasn't yet "nailed the 50 overs with the bat."

However, the Australian psyche is typically harsh, aggressive, and unyielding. This Australia was absent from the present World Cup, despite crushing the Netherlands in the Kotla on Wednesday. However, it appears they have made it.

Australia recovered from their early tournament setbacks with a hat-trick of victories led by Glenn Maxwell, who reached the fastest century in World Cup history, and David Warner, who scored his second consecutive century.

Australia amassed 399/8 after choosing to bat after opener Warner, the captain of the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, set the tone with a 93-ball 104. Maxwell then went on a six-hitting binge, scoring 106 off 44 balls. Marnus Labuschagne (62), Steve Smith (71), and others also found their form again.

In two significant partnerships, Warner amassed 132 runs with Smith and 84 with Labuschagne, helping Australia maintain a run rate above six runs per over for the duration of the innings.
