The win also sealed a semi-final berth for Australia.

Talking about the Australia vs Afghanistan game, recalled all-rounder Maxwell was dropped soon afterwards on 33 when Mujeeb Ur Rahman somehow floored a simple chance at short fine leg off fellow spinner Noor Ahmad.
Maxwell ended the match in style with nearly three overs to spare when he slammed Mujeeb for another six. The 35-year-old's highest one-day international score was just his fourth century in 136 matches at this level, but second of the tournament after he scored the fastest hundred in men's World Cup history, off just 40 balls, against the Netherlands.
