Australia is placed tenth on the list of highest team totals in ODI cricket. The Kangaroos managed to score 417 for six against Afghanistan on March 04, 2015 at WACA in Perth.

In the ODI number 3,623, during the 2015 ICC World Cup Australia posted their second-best team total in ODI cricket.

Batting first, David Warner accelerated the innings before registering brilliant 178 off just 133 balls.

On the other hand, Steven Smith falls five runs short of his well-deserved century.

Well, it was Glenn Maxwell, whose pyrotechnics entertained the Perth crowd. He smashed seven sixes during his blazing 39-ball 89-run knock.

Owing to a pale shadow, Afghanistan was bundled out at the paltry total of 142 in 37.3 overs. Speedster Mitchell Johnson starred with the ball after bagging four wickets. Mitchell Star and Josh Hazlewood picked two wickets apiece.
