2024 T20 World Cup, Day 27, second semi-final: India v England
It wasn't the biggest margin, but it was an outclassing in all departments. India ran the game in Guyana, seeing off every challenge with enough versatility to brush off England. Rohit Sharma led the way again, while Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah continued to be unhittable. Another final beckons. Matt Roller joins Geoff Lemon.

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 26: South Africa v Afghanistan
No sense being vague here - it was an absolute thrashing. South Africa's quicks took apart Afghanistan's top order and that was the game. But it was played on a dreadful pitch in Trinidad that made even a tiny chase into a dangerous prospect - in medical as well as in sporting terms. Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff.

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 24.2: Afghanistan v Bangladesh
Another knockout in the group stage, with three teams having a chance based on the result, and Afghanistan did everything they could to not win it, until the point where they started doing things to win it. In the meantime, Bangladesh seemed equally confused about whether winning was actually a good thing. Strange, scrappy, and at times comical, but a tense finish sees the Afghans through.

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 24.1: India v Australia
What a performance from India’s captain. With Australia needing to win to realistically keep their hopes alive, he never let them settle with a bombastic display of power play hitting. From there, everything needed to go right for Mitch Marsh’s team and it didn’t. Geoff watched live it in the flesh at St Lucia; he’s with Adam who has a fever. Fun!

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 23.2: South Africa v West Indies
It was effectively a knockout, so the spectre of a South African choke was always on. They bowled well, restricted the scoring, then saw the rain come down and change the equation. Andre Russell wasn't letting the game go, nor was Alzarri Joseph, but could Marco Jansen flip the script?
