Glenn Maxwell Powers Australia To World Record 263/3 in T20Is And Big Win 

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to field

T20 Debut - Sachith Pathirana(SL)

Glenn Maxwell scored an unbeaten 145, the second highest individual score in T20Is(after Aaron Finch's 156 Runs Vs England in 2013)to help Australia score 263/3, the highest ever team total. Sri Lanka could manage 178/9 in 20 overs and lost by 85 runs 

Put into bat by Sri Lankan skipper Dinesh Chandimal, the visitors went off to a blazing start as Glenn Maxwell along with his opening partner David Warner added 57 runs for the first wicket off meagre 29 deliveries.

After David Warner's departure, Usman Khawaja joined in as the duo put together 97 runs for the second wicket off just 51 balls.

Following Usman Khawaja's dismissal, Travis Head joined in and ably complimented Maxwell with his aggressive shots.

Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell raced to his hundred when he scooped Suranga Lakmal's full toss, which turned out to be a no-ball. He achieved the milestone off just 49 balls which included 11 boundaries and five sixes.

Glenn Maxwell did not stop here and ended up with an unbeaten 145, including 14 boundaries and five sixes.
