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.

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.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 18: West Indies v Afghanistan
It was all about the flexing in the final group game in St Lucia, as West Indies' top order created mayhem through the first six overs, Nicholas Pooran did more at the end, and Gulbadin Naib tried to match them with his wardrobe choices. A high-octane night in front of a sensationally animated crowd.

Season 16, Episode 20: The research is clear: the effects of the climate emergency on cricket will be significant and the horrible floods and storms in Florida last week, ruining three World Cup games in the process, is but one example. It's not a fun topic but one that demands ongoing attention. In happier news, how does Scotland go about making the next step to Full Member status? We take a closer look. Our focus on associate cricket in Europe is a theme we return to, from Italy with Joe Burns' ton to the fastest T20i ton ever in Estonia's win over Cyprus.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 17: New Zealand v Papua New Guinea, Netherlands v Sri Lanka
Baseball has the shut-out. Ten-pin bowling has the perfect game. Cricket never really has, but perhaps that will change. Far more rare than a hat-trick was Lockie Ferguson's world record feat, as Trent Boult announced his NZ retirement. In the double-header the night before, Nepal once again nearly pulled off a shock that would have left the Dutch with a path to the next stage.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 16: Pakistan v Ireland; Australia v Scotland
A shocker of a game ends the Group A adventure, Pakistan doing marginally less worse with the bat than Ireland to take the points in Florida. Far more interesting was the stoush last night in St Lucia where Scotland couldn’t quite get the job done against Australia, desperately unlucky to be going home having so nearly topped their group. Adam has Daniel Norcross with him and they’re both pretty grumpy.
