So, an enormous 275-run win for the Aussies, their biggest ever in terms of runs. Big scores for David Warner, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell amid a record World Cup total of 6-417. Afghanistan fought hard, batting out 37.3 overs in reply with No.3 Nawroz Mangal top-scoring with 33. Mitchell Johnson finished with 4-22 and Mitchell Starc continued his good form with 2-18.
