Australia has secured a record win in Delhi this morning after beating the Netherlands by 309 runs in the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

The Netherlands were bowled out for 90 in response, to suffer a 309-run loss.

Australia have now won three consecutive games, after starting with three defeats, and are starting to consolidate their place in the top four, with this huge victory boosting their net run rate.

The Netherlands' only win came against South Africa last Tuesday, and they are now bottom of the 10-team table.

Australia will now try their chances of reaching the semi-finals with games against New Zealand, England, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to come.

England will play Sri Lanka at 8.30pm tonight.
