ICC World Cup 2019: David Warner Overtakes Chris Gayle And Sachin Tendulkar In The List Of Most 150+ ODI Scores

Australia Cricket Team opener David Warner has been in scintillating form right from the start of the ICC World Cup 2019. He kept up his excellent form with another 150+ knock against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. And in the process, Warner leapfrogged West Indies batsman Chris Gayle and India legend Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most 150+ scores in ODI cricket.

Aaron Finch and David Warner got the Aussies off to a flying start after winning the toss. The right-hand-left-hand combination made the life of Bangladeshi bowlers hard rotating the strike while the boundaries kept coming. Both Warner and Finch reached individual half-centuries before Soumya Sarkar provided the breakthrough removing Finch.

Usman Khawaja then joined David Warner in the middle, and they marched towards a massive target. They scored runs at will as Mashrafe Mortaza tried all his options in search for a wicket. Warner, in particular, was spectacular as he brought his second century of this World Cup and the 16th ODI century. Soon after, Khawaja also completed his half-century as Australia looked in line for a target close to the 400-run mark. Warner pressed the peddle soon after reaching the three-figure mark to make it counting crossing 150 runs in style before Sarkar provided the much-needed breakthrough after a well-made 166 runs.
