Australia were at their fluent best in the ODI World Cup contest on Wednesday (Oct 25) after they whipped the Netherlands by a massive 390-run margin. With David Warner (104) and Glenn Maxwell (106) putting up a spectacular show, Australia registered the biggest win in the history of the tournament at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The win has seen Australia register three consecutive wins in the tournament as they look set for a place in the semifinals.

“Really happy, complete game. To put 400 on board and then defend well, couldn't be happier. Crazy innings. I think we both contributed equally in that hundred partnership (chuckles). Fantastic innings, the cleanest hitting I've seen. We played the style we liked to. Pleased with Smithy getting runs. We were aiming for powerplay wickets and bowled quite well without a lot of luck. Zamps with another four-fer,” skipper Pat Cummins said in the post-match interview.

Chasing 400, the Netherlands were bowled out for just 90 after they surrendered against a resolute attack led by Adam Zampa and Co. The spinner scalped four while every other bowler got at least one wicket including Mitchell Starc, skipper Pat Cummins, and others.

ODI World Cup 2023: Pat Cummins pleased with team's overall show, says 'we played the style we liked to'

Australia romped past Netherlands by 309 runs in match 25 of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition on Wednesday (Oct 25) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. This became the biggest win for any side, in terms of runs, in WC history. Opting to bat first, the Aussies rode on David Warner's 104 and Glenn Maxwell's 44-ball 106, laced with 9 fours and 8 sixes, to post a mammoth 399 for 8. In reply, the Netherlands were bundled out for a paltry&nbsp;90 in 21 overs due to Adam Zampa's 4 for 8.

After the match, former Indian batter Sanjay Bangar lauded Maxwell for his record knock.&nbsp;

While speaking to Star Sports in the post-match analysis, Bangar was in awe of Maxwell's innovative shots -- as his inning was filled with reverse hits,&nbsp;cuts, pull and he&nbsp;even slammed a reverse-sweep-scoop -- and said, "He practices them a lot. When all batters do knocking before the match, he first comes and plays the sweep, then the reverse sweep, and once that is done, he switches his hands and practices the switch hit."

"To hit that six over third man off a bouncer, it means he has special ability. You shouldn't expect consistency from his bat because he plays such high-risk cricket, but whenever he plays, he will do something where the world will ask where he has been thus far and why he can't do that consistently," added Bangar.

After the game, Player-of-the-Match Maxwell said at the post-match presentation, "I was just trying to give ourselves a good platform at the end. You can certainly cash in on this ground with bat (batting first towards the end) and it seams under lights. Nice to get some rhythm finally in the tournament. Huge confidence booster. Some doubts do creep in when you are consistently not making runs. Hopefully I can ride forward from this. Pretty much the perfect game with bat and ball for us. Three wins now and certainly starting to get that momentum as a team."

Pat Cummins-led Australia have now secured their third win on the trot after losing their opening two games. They are at the fourth place and will now face third-positioned New Zealand on Saturday (Oct 28) in Dharamsala.

CWC '23: 'Maxwell makes match one-sided when his bat fires': Ex-India batter on Aussie star's record ton

Australia humbled the Netherlands by 309 runs in match 24 of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on Wednesday (Oct 25) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Opting to bat first, Pat Cummins &amp; Co. rode on David Warner's 104, Glenn Maxwell's 44-ball 106 (laced with 9 fours and 8 sixes at 240.91) and fifties from Steve Smith (71) and Marnus Labuschange (62) to post a mammoth 399 for 8. In reply, Scott Edwards &amp; Co. only managed 90 in 21 overs (thanks to Adam Zampa's four-fer) to lose by 309 runs, the biggest-ever World Cup loss by runs. Thus, Australia are now on a roll with three back-to-back wins after defeats in their opening two encounters.&nbsp;

Steve Smith attended the post-win media interaction and was asked about the CWC 2023 edition's current top two teams, i.e. India and South Africa. Rohit Sharma's India and Temba Bavuma-led Proteas have 10 and eight points, respectively, and look set to seal their place in the semi-finals sooner than later.&nbsp;Thus, the right-hander was all praise for India and the Proteas.

While responding to WION's question on India and SA, Smith said, "I think both are playing really good cricket. SA play like we played today. They are trusting their top five batters to go out and build a platform before Klaasen and Miller to smack it at the backend. Obviously, they have played on very good batting surfaces as well, one here (in New Delhi) and two at the Wankhede. India are favourites in the tournament, they are playing very well and are playing at home. They are a very good side."

Meanwhile, Australia, now with a Net Run Rate of +1.142, are also catching up. They remain at the fourth spot, one below New Zealand.

<h2>Australia on show in Delhi</h2>

With two consecutive wins, Australia were in full mode ahead of the clash and wreaked havoc as David Warner (104) and Steven Smith laid the foundation. Later Maxwell joined the party as he smashed the fastest hundred in the tournament in just 40 balls. His performance coupled with Marnus Labuschagne’s (62) knocks helped the Aussies score a massive 399 runs before they pounded misery on the opposition.

Chasing 400, the Netherlands were bowled out for just 90 after they surrendered against a resolute attack led by Adam Zampa and Co. The spinner scalped four while every other bowler got at least one wicket including Mitchell Starc, skipper Pat Cummins, and others.

Earlier, Maxwell was on show as he smashed 106 off 44 to put Australia in the ascendency, his knock included 8 sixes and 9 fours and struck at a strike rate of 240. Logan van Beek’s 74/4 would prove to be just a consolation in front of the Aussies bowling attack.

World Cup 2023: Australia thrash Netherlands by 309 runs on record-breaking day after Maxwell blitzkrieg

Match 24 of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 edition will see five-time winners Australia lock horns with the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday (Oct 25). While the Dutch are coming to this game on the back of a five-wicket loss to Sri Lanka, Australia have revamped with two back-to-back wins and will aim for their third.&nbsp;

Talking about Pat Cummins-led Men in Yellow, the Aussies had an indifferent start to the ten-team tournament with two successive losses. However, they have rejuvenated in style with two consecutive wins and will now be beaming in confidence. The Aussies&nbsp;will&nbsp;take the Netherlands lightly at their own peril given the fact that they defeated South Africa by 38 runs (DLS method) just last week. Can the Dutch pull off their biggest win by beating the most successful side in ODI World Cup history? Only time will tell...

Pitch conditions and result prediction: The pitch is expected to be conducive for the batters. Thus, expect a high scorer, especially if the Aussies bat first. The surface can remain the same with some dew kicking in later. Thus, chasing is certainly an option but scoreboard pressure can play a part. Despite some big upsets already happening in the tournament, expect Australia to beat the Dutch on Wednesday.&nbsp;

Australia could be handed a major boost in their ODI World Cup campaign as they look to register their third win on a bounce when they take on the Netherlands. Travis Head, having missed the opening four matches of the ODI World Cup could return for the Wednesday (Oct 25) clash. Head having missed the India series in September was picked for the 15-member World Cup squad despite being unfit for the first phase of the tournament.

<h2>Head optimistic over return</h2>

"I had a really good hit yesterday. I think each session is getting better but again we've got to be mindful of the fact that I think it was five weeks [since the injury] a couple of days ago, and I sort of got told [around] that six-week mark,” Head said on Sunday in Delhi before the Netherlands clash.

"Everything keeps going well, but again, it's [about] how I woke up this morning. It's how I can potentially back up tomorrow and train.

"Still a few things I need to tick off but I'm optimistic. We'll see what happens. If it continues at this rate, who knows? Keep doing things day-by-day to hopefully give yourself the best chance,” Head added.

<h2>Australia’s good headache</h2>

Australia could have a good problem at their helm ahead of the upcoming clashes with Mithcell Marsh, Head’s designated replacement, scoring a hundred against Pakistan. He scored 121 runs in the 62-run win against Pakistan with David Warner also hitting a ton. The pair put up 259 runs for the opening partnership and helped them register 367/9 in their 50 overs. In case the Netherlands clash comes early for Head, he could return for the high-octane game against New Zealand.

Australia have so far won two matches and lost the same number from their opening four matches. They were beaten comprehensively by India and South Africa but have since beaten Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Pat Cummins’ men will then take on New Zealand and England in a tough run. The Dutch on the flip side have lost three and won one in their four matches. However, their solitary win came against South Africa in a giant-killing run.

ODI World Cup 2023: Travis Head set for return to Australian side ahead of Netherlands clash in Delhi

A rare history awaits two-time defending champions Australia as they chase a record hat-trick of titles, taking on the Netherlands in the semi-finals of the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/hockey-world-cup">men's hockey World Cup</a> at the Kalinga Stadium here on Saturday.&nbsp;

The world number one Australia is second only to four-time champions Pakistan, having won the world title thrice before, which includes back-to-back gold medals in the last two editions of the tournament in 2010 and 2014.&nbsp;

Come Saturday, the Kookaburras will be chasing their third consecutive world crown. But it would be easier said than done as in world no.4 Netherlands a tough contest awaits Australia.&nbsp;

The Dutch, who have won the title thrice before - the last time being in 1998, too would be desperate to break their 20-year-old jinx.&nbsp;

The Netherlands would be high on confidence especially after their hard-fought 2-1 win over home favourites India in the quarter-finals on Thursday.&nbsp;

Going by form and world ranking, it is expected to be an edge of the seat thriller between the two teams, who prefer to play a totally contrasting style of hockey.&nbsp;

While attacking hockey is the backbone of Australia, the Dutch mostly prefer to play waiting for the game with a compact defence and relying more on counters to surprise their opponents.&nbsp;

There is hardly anything to differentiate between the two sides going by recent head-to-head record.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Since 2013, Australia and Netherlands have played each other 11 times with the Kookaburras winning five and losing four while two ended in draws.&nbsp;

The Australians made a slow start but grew in confidence as the tournament progressed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After a hard-fought 2-1 win over Ireland in their opener, Australia stepped on the gas and registered convincing wins over England (3-0), China (11-0) and France (3-0).&nbsp;

The Dutch, on the other hand, started with a bang and mauled Malaysia 7-0 before losing 1-4 to Germany.&nbsp;

They defeated Pakistan 5-1 in their last pool match before beating Canada 5-0 in the cross-overs and eking out a close 2-1 win over India in the quarter-finals.&nbsp;

The Australia-Netherlands match has all the makings of a classic. In 2014 at The Hague, Australia came out on top against Netherlands 6-1 in front of home crowd to lift their second consecutive World Cup.&nbsp;

And Saturday's encounter will provide the Dutch an opportunity to avenge their loss four years ago.&nbsp;

But in the last four years since they met in the final of 2014, much has changed.&nbsp;

The likes of Jamie Dwyer, Mark Knowles and Glenn Turner have retired but the Kookaburras have rebuilt brilliantly under coach Colin Batch since the disappointment of Rio Olympics and have returned to the top of the world rankings.&nbsp;

The Dutch, on the other hand, are unquestionably much tougher under Max Caldas now than they were four years ago.&nbsp;

Australia's Daniel Beale too agreed that it would be a tough, exciting battle on Saturday for a place in Sunday's summit clash.&nbsp;

"We are into the crucial stage of the tournament. We got to watch last night's match between Holland and India. So we have learnt a lot from that. We are expecting a very tough match tomorrow," he said.&nbsp;

"We have very proud history. There is no special formula. We work hard, we train hard. We are fiercely competitive. Every tournament we go we go to win."&nbsp;

Beale said what happened four years ago will hardly have any impact in Saturday's must-win game.&nbsp;

"In 2014 Australia had great success in the final but that was a long time ago and this group has changed immensely. So we are looking to create a bit of history," Beale said.&nbsp;

"Holland are a very tough team. They have quality players. Billy (Bakker), (Robert) Kemperman, (Valentin) Verga. We wil do our homework and try to nullify them."&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Olympic silver medallist Belgium too would be looking to create history by making their maiden World Cup final appearance when they take on England in the first semi-final earlier in the day.
