The incident occurred during a day off in Ahmedabad, where the Australian squad was enjoying a round of golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Maxwell\">Maxwell should return later in tournament<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the team has confirmed that there are no additional injuries, and they remain hopeful that Maxwell will be able to return to play later in the tournament. Maxwell had recently made headlines with a remarkable 40-ball century, setting a new <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/cricket-world-cup\">World Cup <\/a>record, during a match against the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the tournament, Maxwell has demonstrated his prowess with a total of 196 runs at an impressive average of 39.20, in addition to taking four wickets with his off-spin. It&#8217;s worth noting that this setback follows a previous injury when the 35-year-old cricketer broke his leg in an unusual accident at a birthday celebration last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While England&#8217;s chances of reaching the semi-finals are all but over, Australia are riding high with four consecutive victories, currently occupying the fourth spot in the standings. A win in the <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/cricket-world-cup\/england-vs-australia\">upcoming match in Ahmedabad<\/a> would significantly enhance their prospects of securing a semi-final berth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Maxwell&#8217;s absence, there may be an opportunity for players like Cameron Green or Marcus Stoinis to step into the breach. Stoinis, however, has been contending with a calf issue, which may impact his availability for the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Betting\">Betting Implications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia are 3\/1 second favourites to win the tournament with <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/betting-sites\/bet365\">bet365<\/a>, but they still have to ensure that they seal qualification after their superb recent form. Maxwell\u2019s absence against England will be a blow, however, given the respective form of the two sides, the Aussies should still have enough to get a win. <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/betting-sites\/betway\">Betway<\/a> have Australia at 8\/15 and England at 7\/5.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mt-8 wp-block-top-list \" id=\"sports-book\">\n\n\t\n\t<section\n\t\tid=\"block_13c305d44261b0b892316c5205950f44\"\n\t\t\t\t\tx-data=\"block_13c305d44261b0b892316c5205950f44\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"@container\"\n\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1  gap-8\" x-ref=\"container-block_13c305d44261b0b892316c5205950f44\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/go.betting.com\/go\/betway\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\trel=\"nofollow noopener\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Betway Review 2026 : \u00a330 Matched Free Bet if your first Acca loses\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-grow flex-row items-center bg-white p-2 shadow group hover:no-underline \"\n\t\t\tdata-bt=\"tiles-betting-site-sm\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-180x95.webp 180w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-180x95.jpg 180w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-360x189.webp 360w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-360x189.jpg 360w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.webp 400w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.jpg 400w\"\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"120px\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.jpg\"\n\t\talt=\"Betway\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"120\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"62\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"object-cover object-center bg-cover bg-center flex-shrink-0 w-[120px] lg:w-[100px] aspect-casino\"\n\t\tstyle=\" \"\n\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col px-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-sm font-semibold !leading-4 text-black duration-300 group-hover:text-red-100 lg:text-base\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-bt=\"tiles-betting-site-sm-title\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\tBetway\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-1 flex flex-row items-center gap-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"star-rating h-auto w-[60px]\"\n\t\t style=\"--bt-star-percentage: 91.3084%; \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-xxs text-gray-60\">(4.5\/5)<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ml-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"right-0 flex h-6 w-6 items-center justify-center border border-red-100 bg-white duration-300 group-hover:bg-red-100\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"w-3 h-3 text-red-100 rotate-180 duration-300\n\t\t\t\t\tgroup-hover:text-white\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 16\"><path d=\"M.29 7.315a.94.94 0 0 0 0 1.36l6.874 6.562a.937.937 0 0 0 1.293-1.356l-5.18-4.949h13.285c.52 0 .938-.418.938-.937a.935.935 0 0 0-.938-.938H3.277l5.184-4.945A.937.937 0 0 0 7.168.756L.293 7.32l-.004-.004Z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the UK\u2019s best <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/cricket-world-cup\">Cricket World Cup<\/a> betting sites and the best online sportsbooks for <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/cricket\">cricket <\/a>with Betting.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get all the info on <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/cricket-world-cup\/england-vs-australia\">England vs Australia <\/a>with Betting.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s Glenn Maxwell will be sidelined for the upcoming World Cup match against England following a concussion sustained in a mishap involving a golf buggy.
