New Delhi [India], October 25 (ANI): After a difficult start to the campaign, David Warner has reached the levels he had hoped for, striking back-to-back centuries to pass one ODI icon, Ricky Ponting, and tie another, Sachin Tendulkar, for World Cup hundreds.
Australia beat the Netherlands by 309 runs thanks to his 104 and Glenn Maxwell's 44-ball 106, securing a place in the top four as the drive to the semifinals continues.
Warner was also overjoyed to have equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record of most hundreds in ODI World Cups.
"For me it's about going out there and doing my best. We live for those World Cups, every four years, we really have to shine in those. I try and emulate what I do in the bilateral series. To be in the same category and class is special for us," David Warner told the official broadcaster after the game.
"They're greats of the game. For us, we grew up watching those guys. In this moment, we're just staying present. In probably 20 years' time or 30 years' time, I might sit down and enjoy that," he added.
Explosive Aussie hitter discusses how he improved his form during the competition.
Talking about the four consecutive boundaries he hit off Aryan Dutt, Warner said, "They were getting close and closer to the bat, try and work out where to pierce the gap. I wanted to reverse sweep and he kept pitching it shorter and it was a handy start to get myself in rhythm. For me, it's about going out there and doing my best.
Meanwhile, Warner was overjoyed for his good friend Glenn Maxwell as the all-rounder hit form just in time in Australia's big 309-run victory.
Maxwell was adjudged the Player of the Match for a truly astonishing innings in Delhi. Maxwell lived up to his nickname 'The Big Show' with his flamboyant hitting, blasting eight fours and eight sixes in Australia's 309-run victory over the Netherlands in New Delhi, ending his lean patch in the ongoing tournament in India.
Warner also emphasised that Maxwell's century celebration was dedicated to his newborn baby.
"It was a special day for him (Maxwell). The rock the cradle celebration was special as well. We spoke about it during the IPL, it is about timing and rhythm," Warner said.
Coming to the match, Glenn Maxwell's masterclass in Delhi and David Warner's wonderful century followed by Adam Zampa's brilliance helped Australia register the highest-ever win by runs in World Cup history, beating Netherlands by 309 runs here at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.
The Aussie side looked in supreme touch as they torched Nethreland with both bat and ball. The winning margin of 309 runs is the largest ever at a Men's Cricket World Cup and the second largest ever in ODIs. (ANI)
