Top 3 highest individual scores for Australia in ODI World Cup history

The 5-time World Champions Australia have always played to the best of their potential in multilateral events. The Aussies know how to bring the best out of themselves when the situation demands. We have seen some mind-blowing knocks from Australian batters in the ODI World Cups.

Let’s take a look at the top 3 highest individual scores for Australia in ODI World Cup history:

3. David Warner, 166 vs Bangladesh, 2019

In the group-stage clash between Australia and Bangladesh David Warner unleashed his destructive batting. He took the Bangladesh bowling attack to the cleaners helping Australia put up a massive total. The Aussies batted first and David Warner along with Aaron Finch and Usman Khwaja guided Australia to 381 runs in the first innings. Warner scored 166 runs off just 147 deliveries.

2. David Warner, 178 vs Afghanistan, 2015

David Warner is someone who always steps up on big occasions. In the World Cups, he has been one of the most consistent Australian batters recently. In the 2015 ODI World Cup as well he played some remarkable knocks and this is one of them. The left-handed opener scored 178 runs off just 133 balls to put Australia in a comfortable position batting first. They scored 417 runs in the first innings to put Afghanistan under pressure right from the first ball in their chase. The Kangaroos won this match comfortably by a huge margin of 275 runs.

1. Glenn Maxwell, 201* vs Afghanistan, 2023

This divine innings played by Glenn Maxwell is arguably the greatest ever ODI knock and surely the greatest World Cup knock. At one point Australia was reeling at 91/7 but then the “Big Show” decided to take matters into his hands and stitched an unassailable partnership with captain Pat Cummins. Scoring a double century in an ODI game is a massive feat in itself but this is the first double ton that came in a run chase and too when Glenn Maxwell was struggling due to cramps. This knock mirrors the human will and determination to achieve the unthinkable against the odds.
