Maxwell ton powers Australia to T20 win against England

HOBART, Australia, Feb 7 (AFP): Glenn Maxwell slammed a last-ball six to score a masterful century and lead Australia to a five-wicket victory over England in the second tri-series Twenty20 international in Hobart on Wednesday.
Maxwell, who earlier took three wickets in two overs, was man of the match with an unbeaten 103 as the Australians chased down England's 155 for nine in the 19th over. Maxwell, who was controversially dropped from Australia's one-day team for the recent series against England, responded with a 58-ball century including 10 fours and four sixes at Bellerive Oval.
"It was nice to get one over the rope and finish the job," Maxwell said.
Maxwell had a big moment on 59 when his lofted drive found the fingertips of long-off fielder Jason Roy.
