Even though Warner’s century against the Netherlands was impressive, his stay at the crease was short-lived as he got dismissed by Logan van Beek in the following over at 104 runs.
Notably, he had previously scored three centuries in the 2019 tournament, building on his first World Cup ton in 2015 against Afghanistan. In the previous match, Warner’s 163 against Pakistan had played a pivotal role in Australia’s victory, as they reached a commanding total of 367 for nine.
