- England lose 3 wickets in third ODI, Maxwell’s 3,000 fastest races in ODI
Sports reporter It was difficult for the visitors to Australia to win the third and final ODI of the series in Manchester on Wednesday night. The Australians lost 5 wickets by just 63 runs to reach the whopping goal of 303 runs awarded by England. But a pair of wicketkeeper-batsmen Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell finished the innings with two balls to spare as Australia won by three wickets. As a result, they won the ODI series 2-1. On this tour, the visitors took revenge for a 2-1 loss in the T20 series. Carrie-Maxwell’s record partnership of 212 runs for the sixth wicket was behind the first ODI series win against England since 2015. Maxwell returned to the locker room with 4 fours of 90 balls, 106 of six sixes and Carrey was 104 of 114 balls with 114 balls. Maxwell played the fewest balls and set a record for hitting the 3,000-run milestone in ODIs. Earlier, Johnny Bearstore hit first in a flawless 112-run inning and England was 302-of-7 in the 50 allotted overs. In response, Australia won by 305 runs for 6 wickets in 49.4 overs.
The Australians couldn’t have chased as many runs against the hosts on English soil before. They won in 2009 chasing 300 runs given by England at Nottingham. That was the best record to chase an Australian race against the hosts on English soil. This time the record has been broken by the Carrey-Maxwell double century. The match was full of emotions and drama. It all started after England won the toss and chose to hit. Fast pitcher Mitchell Starc picked up the wicket on the first two balls of the inning. Two essential hitters like Jason Roy on the first ball and Joe Root on the second returned to the locker room with zero runs. But then Captain Eoin Morgan made a 6-run partnership with another Bairstow starter. The English overcame the situation. Although Joss Butler returned for 6 runs, Sam Billings returned to the locker room after playing a grand inning of 58 runs on 57 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes. Bairstow’s 114-race position with him for fifth place led England to a great collection. Bairstow achieved the tenth century of his career. However, he quickly returned to the bathroom. He was the victim of Pat Cummins by 112 of 127 balls with 12 fours and 2 sixes. Legspinner Adam Jumper pitched brilliantly and the English hitters suffered in the middle of the innings. However, Chris Oakes was undefeated in a stormy 53 inning with just 39 balls and six fours. England scored 302 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs. Starc and Jampa took 3 plots each.
Oak trees and uneven bowling route made Australia start horrible going down to answer! They lost 5 wickets in 18 and scored just 63 runs. David Warner (24) and Mitchell Marsh (2) took the wrong batting route. Aaron Finch (12) and Marcus Stones (4) were the victims of Oaks. And Marnus Labushan (20) was left without. So instead of fighting, Carey-Maxwell attacked the English bowlers. Hope for a weakened victory was rekindled in his devastating hitting. The English bowlers couldn’t stop these two. Carrie hit half a century with 57 balls and Maxwell half a century with 27 balls. In the end, they both scored centuries. Maxwell hit a century with 64 balls and Carrey hit a century with 108 balls. When Maxwell, who scored 106 after falling victim to Adil Rashid, returned to the locker room, Australia still needed 16 of 15 balls to win. The sixth 212-race wicket partnership was broken. This is Australia’s new record for the pair. Previously, Brad Haddin-Mike Hussey posted 175 for sixth field against the West Indies in Kuala Lumpur in 2006, which was the best. Maxwell reached 3,000 runs on this day playing just 2,440 balls. No one else could score 3,000 runs that fast. The record was held by Butler of England, who hit 2,500 balls and 3,000 runs. Shortly after Maxwell’s departure, Joffra Archer also fired Carrie, who scored 108 runs. Australians need 10 8-ball runs. As a result, tension is re-created. But Starc hit Adil six-four and gave the team the victory with 4 balls. Australia won by 3 wickets with 2 balls in hand. They also won the series 2-1. Maxwell has been named Player of the Match and Best Player of the Series.
