6.10pm What sort of response will Netherlands put up from here? Join us soon for the chase.
Stat alert: Maxwell's 40-ball century is now the fourth fastest ODI century of all time too. He got his second fifty in 13 balls!
John: "Everyone forgets about Rashid Khan's bowling in 2019 when it comes to the most expensive ever. OK, he 'only' went for 110, 5 less than de Leede, but that was off 9 overs!! 12.22 rpo compared to 11.5 for de Leede!!"
6.04pm Australia pump 131 in the last ten overs. Maxwell hammers a 40-ball century. And Netherlands need 400 to win.
When Warner, Smith and Labuschagne were going strong, Australia looked set for 350+. Then when three wickets tumbled in the middle overs, it looked like Netherlands had dragged the innings back. But then arrived Maxwell, and the rest is history. He smashed the WC record by nine balls, a massive effort to shave so many deliveries off it.
For Netherlands, they'll wonder why Ackermann bowled only 4 overs for 19 runs. van Beek finishes with 4 for 74. de Leede now holds the forgettable tag of bowling the most expensive ODI spell in history.
Glenn Maxwell: (reverse sweeps) Just about getting a read of the bowler. For those who bowl quick, my hands have to be faster. Some may go for six but generally I'm trying to get it just over the infield. Netherlands saved a couple of certain boundaries. (Summary) Could've been a better score but they were outstanding in the field. The ball seems to travel here."

Mick Lewis once conceded 113 in one ODI innings. Shares the record with Adam Zampa. de Leede in danger of getting that record
