This is also the second-biggest win in the history of ODI cricket. India's 317-run win against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram earlier this year is the highest in the ODI cricket.

Earlier South Africa posted the eighth-biggest victory at the World Cup by beating England by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Australia posted 399 runs after Glenn Maxwell and David Warner scored centuries while Smith found himself finally among some runs. Maxwell not only scored a century but it was the fastest in the World Cup history. Warner scored his record sixth century in the World Cup.

Adam Zampa's four-wicket haul dismantled the Dutches for just 90 in 21 overs. This is Australia's third consecutive victory after they started miserabely in the competition. It' looking like they are finally back at their best and they will face New Zealand next which would be a huge game for both sides.

It's time we give a look at the biggest victories recorded by teams in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
