Victoria‘s Glenn Maxwell ignited fan celebrations with a spectacular unbeaten 102 against Queensland at Allan Border Field in Brisbane on September 17 2025, showcasing his devastating batting prowess in the Australia One-Day Cup 2025-26. The explosive century came as Victoria chased Queensland’s challenging total of 310 in a thrilling encounter that captivated cricket enthusiasts.

The 36-year-old all-rounder delivered a masterclass in aggressive batting, smashing 102 not out from 75 balls with an impressive strike rate of 136.00. His innings featured eight boundaries and seven maximums, including a crucial six off Gurinder Sandhu that brought up his century and sent the Allan Border Field crowd into raptures. Maxwell reached his half-century milestone off just 37 balls before accelerating to complete his hundred in spectacular fashion.

This marked Maxwell’s first century in Victoria colours in the 50-over format, a significant achievement for the veteran who had previously scored seven fifties but never breached the three-figure mark for his state team in One-Day cricket. The innings came just months after Maxwell’s retirement from international ODI cricket, making his domestic return even more special for Victorian supporters.

Glenn Maxwell on his 50 over return, batting at his usual No.7 scored 107 (82) for Victoria against Queensland while chasing 311. He came in at 104-5, took them to 255 and fall 55 short.
