He reached the milestone in just 92 balls, featuring 10 elegant fours and three mighty sixes. But that’s not all! Warner has been on fire with back-to-back centuries, including a massive 163 against Pakistan and now 104 against Netherlands.

Adding to the excitement, Warner pulled out his trademark celebration in “Pushpa-Style” which left the cricket world buzzing. With six World Cup centuries, Warner now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with legends like Sachin Tendulkar, trailing only behind Rohit Sharma.

Netherlands Fail to Stop the Run Flow of Australia 

In a high-scoring cricket match, the Netherlands initially showed promise by taking an early wicket in the fourth over against Australia. However Logan van Beek was the top bowler in the Netherlands team as he managed to secure four wickets for his team, Aryan Dutt also chipped in with a single wicket yet the Australian batsmen continued to score freely.

The most unfortunate highlight of the game was Bas de Leede, who conceded a record-breaking 115 runs in his 10-over spell, albeit with two wickets to his name. Despite the Netherlands’ efforts, Australia’s relentless run flow proved too much to handle in this record-breaking encounter.

The Netherlands now needs 400 runs from 50 overs to win the game.
