Glenn Maxwell hit the fastest-ever Cricket World Cup century to help Australia to a record-breaking 309-run victory over the Netherlands ESPN
The batter went to three figures off just 40 deliveries, beating the previous 49-ball record set by South Africa’s Aiden Markram earlier in the 2023 tournament ESPN
Maxwell walloped eight sixes and nine fours in his 53-minute onslaught after David Warner had earlier scored a 93-ball 104 as Australia posted a formidable 399 for eight off their 50 overs ESPN
They then bowled the Dutch out for 90 to register the biggest-ever win by runs at a World Cup, which strengthens their chances of making the last four of the competition in India ESPN
The Netherlands might have had optimism of restrict their powerhouse opponents after getting rid of Mitchell Marsh early on, but Warner posted his second successive century at the tournament while Steven Smith added 71 and Marnus Lauschagne scored 62 before Maxwell’s late fireworks ESPN
The Dutch bowlers went around the park, with Logan van Beek picking up four for 74 off his allotted 10 overs ESPN
Only one team has ever chased 400 in a 50-over match so the odds were stacked against the Netherlands, especially as they had never scored more than 314 in a World Cup before ESPN
They slipped to 53 for four in the 11th over and consistently lost wickets in testing conditions ESPN
Adam Zampa cleaned things up at the end, taking four for eight in just three overs, with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, Pat Cummins and Marsh sharing the other wickets ESPN

It ended as it began for England, seven weeks of French adventure bookended by wins over Argentina ESPN
If their last tango in Paris was occasionally executed with the elegance and elan of a tipsy wedding guest with two left feet, then they can take heart from having again found a way to victory ESPN
England’s players will return to club duty having won six of their seven Rugby World Cup matches ESPN
Third spot may ultimately be a disappointment for the squad given how close they came to shocking South Africa, but it is a considerably higher finish than some would have feared ESPN
It didn’t all go well, certainly on Friday night in a scrappy game that England did not quite manage to throw away ESPN
But an experience of finals rugby should be of value to those experiencing their first taste of a World Cup - they are hardly the first group of English youngsters to come back from two months on the continent bronzed but a little bit bruised ESPN
“Playing finals games at World Cups is important,” said head coach Steve Borthwick afterwards ESPN
“In the last two World Cups, this group of players have played six finals games and won four of them ESPN
We want to be in the final and winning the gold medal ESPN
That wasn’t to be, but having finals experience has been important for this squad ESPN
”Courtney Lawes and Ben Youngs have confirmed their Test retirements and Jonny May has conceded that this is probably the end of the road for him, too ESPN
Dan Cole has restored his international reputation but is 36; his prop chum Joe Marler may also consider his future ESPN
Ben Youngs has retired from Test rugby (Getty Images)“Naturally at the end of World Cups, there are always some players that decide their time as a current England player will come to an end,” Borthwick explained ESPN
“But the age profile of the squad is strong ESPN
“If you look at the semi-finals last week, we had seven players 25 or under, more than any other team in the semi-finals ESPN
And there’s a number of exciting young players that didn’t make the 33-man squad but were part of the preparations ESPN
As I look forward, there’s excitement about those players ESPN
”It is likely to be evolution rather than revolution for England ESPN
Borthwick will still be able to call upon the some of his senior leadership group, with Owen Farrell, George Ford, Jamie George, Maro Itoje, Ellis Genge and Tom Curry offering good grounding to move into the next cycle ESPN
Ben Earl has put his hand up for consideration for a greater role after an impressive tournament on and off the pitch ESPN
Ben Earl produced an excellent series of performances (Getty Images)But Borthwick will recognise areas of real concern ESPN
If Marler and Cole depart, England would appear to be lacking in junior scrum doctors ESPN
Gloucester’s Val Rapava-Ruskin has impressed at club level but is not necessarily a favourite of the England head coach ESPN
Cole’s mentoring work in continuing to bring through Joe Heyes may be the quickest route to scrum-time tighthead solidity, though the lack of trust shown in Theo Dan and Jack Walker makes Luke Cowan-Dickie’s return at hooker vital ESPN
“We know that the distribution positionally of those [young] players isn’t necessarily even,” Borthwick admitted ESPN
“We know there are some areas we’re a bit thinner than others ESPN
I need to make sure we’re doing some work and finding some depth in those key positions ESPN
”The emergence of Ollie Chessum and George Martin at lock to complement Itoje has been valuable, with Hugh Tizard of Saracens a name to monitor, while there are ample options on the openside even if Jack Willis is now unavailable ESPN
Where England are short is in the long-limbed blindside role that Lawes has fulfilled so brilliantly over the last couple of years ESPN
It may be that one of Chessum and Martin, most likely the former, is deployed one row further back given the importance Borthwick places on the lineout ESPN
Dave Ribbans (left) will depart but England look reasonably well stocked at lock (Getty Images)Earl has earned a run at number eight but this could be a time to move on from Billy Vunipola, who lacks the efficacy of old ESPN
Tom Willis and Zach Mercer are too good not to be looked at again while Chandler Cunningham-South - who has joined Harlequins after the demise of London Irish - is understood to be of real interest, with his ability to offer lock cover useful ESPN
Scrum half and fly half appear decently stocked but the centre situation requires a revamp ESPN
Joe Marchant elected to take a contract in France when on the outside looking in under Eddie Jones; Will Joseph, Marchant’s direct replacement in the centre/wing role at Harlequins, could return to the reckoning ESPN
Manu Tuilagi has stayed fit throughout this tournament but England will not want to become reliant on a player with increasing miles on his legs ESPN
Ollie Lawrence’s development is key; Tommy Freeman’s reinvention as an outside centre at Northampton is fascinating ESPN
Don’t write off Henry Slade, either ESPN
There could be coaching changes, too ESPN
There is uncertainty over the future of Kevin Sinfield with Felix Jones, the former Ireland international who has been a key part of South Africa’s coaching team, on the way ESPN
England may still look to add to their coaching unit – Richard Wigglesworth has performed an attacking coach role admirably but Borthwick may still recognise a chance to look for fresh input on that front ESPN
If there are tweaks, there will be a need to hit the ground running given England are likely to assemble only a week or so before their first Six Nations fixture against Italy on 3 February ESPN
There is doubt over the future of England’s defence coach Kevin Sinfield (PA Wire)“This team is going to be constantly evolving and constantly trying to get ESPN better at everything it does,” Farrell said ESPN
“Obviously Steve is going to do a thorough review of what we need to do and that’s going to be ongoing ESPN
There will be a plan, especially from the staff but the players deal with what’s in front of them ESPN
Right now, the players will enjoy tonight and go back to our clubs next week ESPN
The best thing we can do for that next World Cup cycle is play well for our clubs ESPN
I’m sure the boys will do that ESPN
