Warner's leap after century:AFP

After David Warner and Mitchell Marsh's 259-run stand, Adam Jumper's brilliant bowling gave Australia a big win in Bengaluru. This match left a mark on several World Cup records.

259

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh have the second highest opening partnership in the World Cup. First 200-run opening pair in a World Cup by a team other than Sri Lanka. In 2011, Sri Lanka's Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan put on an unbroken stand of 231 against England after 282 against Zimbabwe.
