2024 T20 World Cup, Day 22.2: 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?

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 23.1: England v USA
Despite it being not even eight days ago, it feels an eternity since England were on the brink of being bounced out of this tournament early. Well, they're now the second team qualified for the semi-finals and hitting the best form as we enter the games that matter most. Which isn't to say there wasn't plenty riding on this: not only did Jos Butter's side have to beat the USA, they had to do it quickly... and did they ever, the captain blasting 83 not out to make sure of an early bath. Daniel Norcross saw it all at Kensington Oval in Barbados and he's with Adam Collins.

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 20.2: Australia v Afghanistan
After their all-timer in Mumbai at last year's one-day World Cup, and the boycotting of bilateral series, this encounter was always going to have some extra interest. And on a difficult track in St Vincent, Afghanistan showed up to the party ready to dance. Gurbaz and Ibrahim started it, Gulbadin finished it off, but along the way they had to confront and shut down the Glenn Maxwell machine. A night for history.

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 22.1: India v Bangladesh
After a polished performance against Bangladesh, this increasingly feels like the question – can anyone match India when they are close to their best? What’s certain is they have every base covered and are hitting their high notes at just the right time. Adam and Geoff are back together to review the favourites and reflect on another poor showing from Bangladesh, who have well and truly run their race.

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.

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.
