Australia’s dominance in ICC tournaments is on display once again in the ICC ODI World Cup match against New Zealand.
David Warner and Travis Head displayed a remarkable performance at Dharamshala. Head reached his century in just 59 balls, setting a new record.
Their partnership was explosive, scoring 118 runs in the first ten overs, just one run shy of the world record set by West Indies in 2003.
Even the Kiwi bowlers’ attempts, including spinners, couldn’t halt Warner and Head.
Warner, with 81 runs off 65 balls, surpassed Virat Kohli as the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 1391* runs.
Head achieved a century on his World Cup debut in 59 balls, making it the fourth fastest century by an Australian in ODI cricket.
Australia’s dream run was interrupted in the 20th over when Glenn Philipp claimed the first wicket for New Zealand. Warner and Head’s partnership of 175 runs came to an end.
