    Here come the Windies - T20 World Cup Daily 21.2

    2024 T20 World Cup, Day 21.2: West Indies v USA
    We have seen signs over the last week that the Windies are emerging as one of the biggest contenders for this World Cup, a suggestion that will grow yet further after becoming the first team to beat up the USA. In a first for Final Word Daillies, it's Daniel Norcross as the solo host (blame Ben Jones' wifi) and he does a terrific job of explaining why the biggest loser out of tonight is actually South Africa.

    Harry Brook v South Africa - T20 World Cup Daily 21.1

    Harry Brook v South Africa - T20 World Cup Daily 21.1

    2024 T20 World Cup, Day 21.1: England v South Africa
    It was back to Group 2, for the unbeaten South Africans taking on the newly awakened English. Quinton de Kock was a coaled-up train, but the rest of his heavy hitters found it hard to ride along. Jofra Archer was bad, then great, then better. Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone had the game in their hands, but the breeze kept ruffling those palms. A game down to the line in St Lucia, with Matt Roller and Geoff Lemon.

    Patrick hat-trick - T20 World Cup Daily 20.2

    2024 T20 World Cup, Day 20.2, Super 8s, Australia v Bangladesh
    Bangladesh scraped into the second stage of this tournament after a poor group stage, and had an opportunity to show that they could lift to the next level in Antigua. They didn't do it. Australia, meanwhile, produced one of the most quintessential Australia performances you can imagine. At least we saw a big snail. Henry Moeran joins Geoff Lemon.

    SKY goes blue - T20 World Cup Daily 20.1

    2024 T20 World Cup, Day 20.1: India v Afghanistan
    Not everything is going easily for India. Rohit and Kohli are having their troubles at the top. Dube isn’t making an impression. But with Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav in your side, there is always some fun to be had, and that’s before Jasprit Bumrah comes on. Afghanistan, meanwhile, brought back a heavy hitter in Hazratullah Zazai, but they don’t have long to get their heads back in the game.

    Bairstow is annoyed - T20 World Cup Daily 19.2

    2024 T20 World Cup, Day 19.2: West Indies v England
    After England scraped through the group stage and West Indies battered Afghanistan on the same ground two nights prior, the stage was set for some heavy hitting on the first day of the Super 8s. But some parts were not as heavy as anticipated, and the biggest influence might have been down to the spinners like Akeal Hosein and Adil Rashid, before Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow took the spotlight. Matt Roller joins Geoff Lemon in St Lucia.

    Respect the USA - T20 World Cup Daily 19.1

    T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 19.1: South Africa v USA
    The Americans are the story of this tournament. And sure, they weren't good enough to get over the Proteas at Antigua to begin this Super 8s stage, but they came ever so close, showing again why they really do belong at this level. Bharat Sundaresan was at the game and he's with Adam Collins.
