Records are galore; Australia mauls Africa 12-0

Record books are in demand, as Australians go hammer and tongs against hapless Africans. The first match of Day V saw the Oceania champions mercilessly pound African Champions.

Australia defeated Africa by 12-0, a record equalled in terms of one team scoring maximum goals in a match. It was Pakistan's record that stood alone till today, as they defeated New Zealand in Mumbai 12-3 twenty eight summers ago.

This 12 goal margin win is a World Cup record. The previous margin of nine goal-margin has been witnessed in other occasions. Australia it was in 1975 that set the 9-0 goal margin win first time when it deeated Ghana at Kuala Lumpur (1975). Pakistan than equalled this in 1978 (defeating Ireland 9-0).

Luke Doerner was today declared Man of the Match while Mark Knowels got the Steel defender of the match.
