On a thrilling Sunday at the Adelaide Oval, Australian batter Glenn Maxwell equaled the monumental T20I achievement of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma by notching an outstanding unbeaten 120 against the West Indies during the second game of their tri-match series. In doing so, Maxwell not only matched Sharma’s historic performance but also broke the record previously set by Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav, propelling Australia to a formidable score of 241 for four.
In this memorable match, Maxwell’s explosive innings of 120 not out came against the West Indies in the series’ second T20I. The early dismissals of Josh Inglis by Jason Holder, followed by Mitchell Marsh and David Warner’s departures after brief but impactful contributions, set the stage for Maxwell. He quickly found his rhythm, aggressively scoring with boundary after boundary against every bowler he faced, reaching his fifty in just 25 balls.

In the middle overs, Marcus Stoinis played a supportive role alongside Maxwell, contributing to an 82-run partnership, though Maxwell was the driving force behind the scoring. Stoinis’s dismissal came as he tried to accelerate the pace, but Tim David stepped in to provide even better support. Together, Maxwell and David finished the innings with flair, underlining the dominance of Australia’s batting lineup.
