Australia are going head-to-head with New Zealand in a Trans-Tasman rivalry at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

While he reached the half-way mark off 25 balls, scoring the fastest fifty in the ODI World Cup 2023, his century came in just 59 balls. It is to be noted that the Aussie opener is coming on the back of an injury he sustained in the ODI series against South Africa. The top-order batter fractured his thumb, ruling him out of the first five games of the World Cup.

Soon after the century, Head gave a bump to Mitchell Marsh as the players in the dugout stood up to accolade the important knock of the batter. Marsh even gave a tight hug to his teammate for this brilliant knock.
However, after a few balls stay in the middle post his ton, Glenn Phillips gave the important breakthrough as he dismissed the centurion, dismissing him at 109 off 67 balls.
