Against India, Maxwell could not bat well. But with the ball, Maxwell was the main spinner, as he ended up with figures of 0/33 in his 8 overs, where Adam Zampa went for runs. Against South Africa, where other bowlers went for runs, Maxwell bowled a dream spell in Lucknow. In his 10 overs, Maxwell claimed 2 wickets and conceded only 34 runs. 

Against Sri Lanka, Maxwell scored an unbeaten 31*(21) and claimed 1/36 in his 9.3 overs. Against Pakistan, Maxwell was dismissed for a duck. With the ball, Maxwell conceded 40 runs in 5 overs.
