Australia's recent 309-run victory against the Netherlands in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 secured them the second position on the list. Australia dominated the Netherlands with ruthless efficiency. They won the toss and chose to bat first, amassing a massive total of 399/8. This was largely thanks to a 93-ball 104 by David Warner and a rapid 106 from Glenn Maxwell in just 44 balls. Half-centuries from Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne also contributed significantly to this impressive score.

In response, the Dutch team struggled as Australia's bowlers dismantled their lineup with clinical precision. Adam Zampa stood out as the top-performing bowler, claiming four wickets. The Netherlands could only manage to score 90 runs in their run chase, resulting in a commanding 309-run victory for the Australian team.
