Innings break What an innings from Glenn Maxwell! He lifted them up to a competitive total. He tells Fox Sports on interview he targeted Lyon's over and it came off. He says the pitch isn't that easy and it needed someone to bat through. That is a defendable total. They need to do it to make the semi-finals.

James: "It is a joy to watch Glenn Maxwell go about his business. A joy to watch"

Bijaya: "25 balls and 68 run. Oh Maxi you are beastly beauty!"

Cameron : "Maxwell with 65 of the last 67 runs. Including 59 runs in a row which surely must be a record"
