In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu discuss a range of topics from IPL 2026 at the halfway stage. Who has impressed? What predictions did we get wrong? And what did we get right? We also touch on the current overseas tours involving the Black Caps and NZ A, plus check in on the England Test contenders now that the County Championship season is underway. We start the show by discussing the flurry of runs we've seen at the IPL over the past few days. Shreyas Iyer and the Punjab Kings chased down the Delhi Capitals' 264, and Sunrisers Hyderabad made light work of a 220+ run chase against Rajasthan Royals. We saw hundreds for Sanju Samson, Sai Sudharsan, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and KL Rahul, but many of those players ended up on the losing side. As the conversation continues, we wonder whether bowlers can ever turn the tables on quality batters, compare Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to Wayne Gretzky, dismay at the struggles of the Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans and look back in horror at some of our pre-tournament predictions. There's also praise for RCB and the unbeaten Punjab Kings, who sit atop the table at the halfway point of the season. To round out the show, we move away from the IPL to talk about two Wills from the Black Caps - the return of Will O'Rourke and the form of Will Young. We also shine a spotlight on some of England's leading contenders for Test spots now that the County Championship is underway, such as Zak Crawley, Jamie Smith and James Rew.

In this episode of the show, Stu and Raj discuss the current overseas tours involving the Black Caps and NZ A, plus some key emerging questions as the third week of IPL 2026 comes to a close. We start the show by discussing the many Black Caps on tour in various parts of Asia in the month of April - primarily the NZ side in Bangladesh and the NZ A team in Sri Lanka. We highlight names to watch such as Curtis Heaphy and Tim Pringle, as well as the form of familiar faces like Henry Nicholls, but then wonder whether there will be opportunities for any of them in the year ahead as we look forward to key series against England, India and Australia. As we turn our attention to the IPL, the middle orders get their time in the spotlight. The openers dominate the headlines - and the orange cap leaderboard - but can you win the tournament without a reliable middle order? Shreyas Iyer and his Punjab Kings come in for praise, while questions are raised about the Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans despite their impressive performances so far. To round out the show, we debate whether it is time to put a line through the Mumbai Indians' chances and talk through the most recent games on the calendar, which saw costly missed opportunities, the highest IPL team score of the season, more runs for Cooper Connolly & a first win of 2026 for KKR.

In this episode of the show, Stu and Raj discuss the second week of IPL 2026, focusing on RCB v MI, GT v LSG, RR sitting at the top of the ladder and a few other things that have caught their eye so far. We start the show by discussing RCB's most recent victory over the Mumbai Indians. Did Stu make a huge mistake leaving RCB out of his pre-tournament top 4? It's certainly looking that way after Phil Salt joined Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Tim David and friends in finding the middle of his bat. Josh Hazelwood has returned too, but how much will he play? For Mumbai, is it time to sound the alarm? Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult aren't taking wickets, Mitchell Santner's bowling in the powerplay, Rohit Sharma is injured and they find themselves near the bottom of the ladder despite their star-studded lineup. Can they bounce back? Or are these losses a sign of things to come? As we turn our attention to GT v LSG, we also look back at Gujarat's final-ball thriller against the Delhi Capitals, which saw Prasidh Krishna and Jos Buttler combine to thwart David Miller's late flurry. We discuss Rashid Khan's early form, then agree that GT is on the improve and LSG are a good but not great side. Next, it's the table-topping Rajasthan Royals in the spotlight, particularly their openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and the moustachioed Yashasvi Jaiswal. Is it realistic to think they could they finish the season as the best openers from an impressive collection in IPL 2026? Finally, Raj asks Stu's thoughts on the Sunrisers Hyderabad's start to the season and we bounce around a few quick notes, including Sanju Samson's impressive hundred that saw CSK capture their first win of the season. We'll be back in your feed again soon with more cricket news, including plenty of IPL coverage and the upcoming NZ tours.

In this episode of the show, Stu and Raj discuss the first week of IPL 2026, focusing on the things that reinforced their pre-tournament views and the things that have surprised them so far. We start the show with another shout out to Amelia Kerr, after her stunning 179* guided the White Ferns to a record-breaking chase against South Africa, before moving on to the IPL coverage and the most recent match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Kolkata Knight Riders.. For SRH, it was a story of two innings on the batting side of things, with the Travishek combo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head getting them off to a flyer, before a flurry of wickets meant Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy had to rebuild, but they did it in fine style. With the ball, run outs proved to be the most important factor, as we talk about some positive signs from Nitish Kumar Reddy & Angkrish Raghuvanshi and the pressure starting to build on Cameron Green. As we start to look back to the week that was, it's Cooper Connolly who takes centre stage after he starred in Punjab's win against Gujarat. We examine why people are so excited about his potential, and what this means for the PBKS season. Next, attention turns to the Rajasthan v CSK game, which saw Nandre Burger & Jofra Archer blast out the CSK top order before Vaibhav Suryavanshi and a moustachioed Yashasvi Jaiswal made light work of the chase. Are RR better than we expected? Or are the Chennai Super Kings fans in for a tough, tough season? The Delhi Capitals bowlers are the next group to receive praise from the Top Order team, after their performance against LSG. Lungi Ngidi's slower ball, Kuldeep Yadav's trickery and Axar Patel's craft all played a huge role in knocking off the LSG firepower before an impressive partnership from Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs saw them home. To round out the show, we highlight strong starts from RCB and the Mumbai Indians, who look set to challenge for the title yet again in 2026 with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma & Ryan Rickelton all looking in top form. We'll be back in your feed again in another week or so with more cricket news, including plenty of IPL news and the upcoming NZ tours.

Who is the team to truly fear in IPL 2026? Just five games into the season, the league hierarchy is already looking like a total rollercoaster. In this episode of The Cricket Podcast, we break down a whirlwind opening week that has left some giants reeling and others looking absolutely lethal. We dive deep into the tactical shifts and standout performances defining the early narrative of the 2026 tournament, analyzing whether these trends are here to stay or just a flash in the pan. We start with the Rajasthan Royals masterclass against Chennai Super Kings. Nandre Burger's dismantling of the Yellow Army has propelled the Royals to the top of the IPL 2026 points table with a staggering +4.171 net run rate. Not far behind, Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a massive statement at the Chinnaswamy with Jacob Duffy leading a clinical victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, proving their bowling unit finally has the bite to match their superstar batting. The fireworks continued at the Wankhede as Mumbai Indians pulled off a high-octane chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, spearheaded by Shardul Thakur. We also analyze Cooper Connolly's ice-cold debut for Punjab Kings and the tactical clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu discuss an interesting week in the world of cricket, which saw the IPL begin with RCB's win over SRH, New Zealand Cricket approve (in-principle) the formation of a new T20 franchise league & more details emerged about England's post-Ashes review. We start the show with game 1 of IPL 2026 - the Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on the defending champion RCB. The match played all the hits - big sixes, quality catches and big names - but it was a big Kiwi who stole the show with Jacob Duffy grabbing three quick wickets in the powerplay for RCB and then earning himself a well-deserved rest after 7 overs of the contest. We discuss the impact player rule, Virat Kohli's shot of the tournament, bowling concerns for SRH, Phil Salt's catching and a scattering of other IPL news including an injury to MS Dhoni and Ben Duckett's withdrawal. As we move to New Zealand, we breeze past South Africa's white-ball tour only really name-checking Ben Sears & Amelia Kerr, and spend the majority of this segment wondering how the proposed NZ20 franchise league would work and whether there's enough time to get things up and running for January 2027. To round out the show, we discuss England Cricket's post-Ashes review, which has seen the Stokes/McCullum combination retained . . . at least for now. We talk about whether anything is likely to change, whether it needed to change and why the Bazball style might not have suited the current England squad in the same way that it seemed to energise the group only a few years ago.

We're cutting through the PR and "process" talk to look at the high-stakes gambles defining IPL 2026. This is a tactical breakdown of three franchises that have completely nuked their old identities to build something more volatile. Lucknow Super Giants have officially killed off the KL Rahul era. By handing the captaincy to Rishabh Pant and pulling off a blockbuster trade for Mohammed Shami, LSG has gone full "vibes and violence." We debate whether Pant's chaotic leadership is the spark this sterile franchise needed, or if a lack of batting anchors will lead to a total car crash. Sunrisers Hyderabad made the shock move of the off-season by trading Shami away. It's a massive middle finger to traditional bowling balance, proving they are obsessed with outrunning every target. With Pat Cummins leading a thin domestic pace attack, the pressure on Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen to post 240-plus scores every night is astronomical. Gujarat Titans have created the most terrifying opening partnership in the league by pairing Shubman Gill with Jos Buttler. While their top order looks like a cheat code, the real intrigue is in the middle. We look at why they dropped ₹8.4 crore on uncapped sensation Auqib Dar and whether this "top-heavy" blueprint can survive a long season. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Raj and Stu are back in the same room again (almost all of us) to kick off the IPL 2026 coverage with a bumper preview show in two parts. This is part two, in which we previewing the fortunes of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru & Mumbai Indians. We're straight into it this time around to discuss an SRH side that was much hyped in 2025, but never really found a run of performances to get themselves in the playoff picture. Once again, though, the team looks built around power, with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen set to lead the way. But can the bowling hold up until Pat Cummins arrives? Next up is CSK, a team that Stu was surprised to see ranked so highly. We talk about the youthful look to their potential lineup, which could include the likes of Ayush Mhatre & Dewalt Brevis to supplement the old heads like offseason recruit Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad & Shivam Dube. We also wonder whether Matt Henry will get an extended run of games, and how many MS Dhoni moments we might see in 2026. For GT it looks like business as usual. Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan & Jos Buttler at the top, with stars like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna with the ball. There was some debate about who might fill out the overseas roles, with Kagiso Rabada, Glenn Phillips, Jason Holder & Tom Banton all in the mix, but all in all they look a team set to be hard to beat again in 2026. RCB return to the IPL as defending champions, but potentially without the services of Josh Hazlewood for a decent chunk of the tournament. We talk about how much his absence could hurt them, the impact of Bhuvi Kumar and Krunal Pandya in 2025, plus whether they'll find room for Jacob Bethell and which overseas player might have to sit out as a result. There's also a bit of Virat Kohli chat, given his excellent form in recent times. The Mumbai Indians are short-priced favourites, and it's hard to find many flaws in their potential lineups. They're stacked with Indian stars like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, & Tilak Varma, and the overseas players aren't too bad either. We talk about the questions facing their side. Quinton de Kock or Ryan Rickelton? Can they fit both Will Jacks & Mitchell Santner into the lineup? And how fun is it to watch Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah bowl in tandem? To round out the preview, we make our predictions! Overseas MVP, local MVP, purple cap, orange cap, top 4, bold predictions and our picks for who will be calling themselves champions come the end of the season. We'll be back in your feed again at the end of the week to discuss the start of the tournament and a few other things going on in the world of cricket.

IPL 2025 is now in its final stage. Therefore, there is intense competition for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the three teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs race. The remaining seven teams are fighting for four spots. So, the excitement has increased. If Lucknow Super Giants want to advance, they will have to win all their matches. This is only possible if Rishabh Pant regains his form. It is also important from the perspective of India's England tour. Kagiso Rabada has returned to Gujarat Titans after a one-month ban. What is the exact reason for that, and many such topics have been discussed by Aditya Joshi of 'Sports Katta' with Sumedh Naik. Sumedh is making his debut on 'Sports Katta'. For many years, he has been writing about cricket for various websites and also runs his own channel."

We start this week by talking about Sunday's double-header, which saw KKR seal a nervy 1-run victory against RR to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, and Punjab Kings take a big step towards the semi-finals with an impressive victory against LSG. We spend a long time discussing Vaibhav Suryavanshi's cover drive, as well as the skill and quality of Arshdeep Singh as the battle for the Top 4 heats up. From there, we move to Stu's claim that this tournament is tracking towards a Mumbai Indians v Gujarat Titans final. Ryan Rickelton joined Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav in the runs this week, while Trent Boult continues to take wickets alongside Jasprit Bumrah. For GT, it's the top 3 of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler who continue to shine alongside their balanced bowling attack led by Prasidh Krishna. We discuss how IPL form could lead to Test opportunities, and whether the upcoming match between these two sides could be a preview of the big dance. One side who haven't been flying high in 2025 is Sunrisers Hyderabad, and despite their tiniest of tiny chances of sneaking into the playoffs, we decide it is time to bite the bullet and discuss what went wrong this season. The short answer is everything, but without Baldy there to defend him somehow the conversation turns to whether Pat Cummins is a marquee player in T20 cricket and how SRH could look to improve their bowling attack in 2026. We round out the show by talking some Test cricket, thanks to England naming their first squad of the summer to take on Zimbabwe in a one-off fixture. The boys evaluate the squad, noting Ben Stokes on the comeback trail, an injury to Jordan Cox, a potential debut for Sam Cook, Shoaib Bashir's inclusion and what bearing any of it could have for an exciting summer to come.

In this episode of the show, Raj, Baldy and Stu look back at week 5 of IPL 2025, which saw Mumbai and RCB make their moves, CSK start looking to next season and New Zealand Cricket invest in Major League Cricket in the USA. We start this week with a check in about RCB. It's been a strange season for them so far - less hyped than previous years, struggles at home, but with a lot of the players in key positions all delivering on what's required. We talk about Virat Kohli's quietly impressive stats, Josh Hazlewood doing the business, Tim David's finishing, Krunal Pandya's key moments and whether it's time to load up on RCB stock before it is too late. From there, we move to Mumbai's charge up the table thanks to Rohit Sharma's return to form, Suryakumar Yadav's consistency, a bag for Trent Boult and a bowling attack that looks so much more complete now that it features Jasprit Bumrah. Then it's time to bounce around a few different topics - from the top 6 teams putting a gap between them and the rest, to left-handed openers like Priyansh Arya and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and the contrasting fortunes of teams like the Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. We round out the show with a discussion about New Zealand Cricket's investment in MLC in North America. Is international investment in franchise cricket a glimpse into the future of the game? How will it work in reality? Who could it benefit? Could we ever see something similar in the IPL? We'll be back in your feed again soon with more IPL coverage.

Indian intelligence agencies have traced the digital footprints of the Pahalgam attackers to safehouses in Muzaffarabad and Karachi, India has summoned Saad Ahmad Warraich, Pakistan's top diplomat in Delhi, and handed over the formal persona non grata note for its military diplomats, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that Russia has agreed to a deal to end the war in Ukraine, while lashing out at his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, for prolonging the conflict by resisting ceding Crimea, Several Pakistani celebrities, including Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Mawra Hocane, have joined voices to condemn the Pahalgam terror attack, Former India cricketers Virender Sehwag and Navjot Singh Sidhu had contrasting views on Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Ishan Kishan's bizarre dismissal in the match against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at week 3 of IPL 2025 through a stock market lens. Who are we buying? Who are we selling? And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start this week with an injury update - and it's not been good news both on the field for the Kiwis Lockie Ferguson and Glenn Phillips, and in the podcast studio, with almost all of us suffering from one ailment or another. Once things do turn positive, it's the Gujarat Titans who are first to receive praise - in particular Sai Sudharsan and the consistency he's shown throughout the tournament so far. We also talk about Punjab's Indian core and the golden duck to century turnaround for Priyansh Arya. Dr Jamie takes us through the mindset needed to succeed across a long tournament like the IPL, in which you're bound to fail along the way - perhaps more often than you do succeed. Next we talk about the Sunrisers Hyderabad after Abhishek Sharma's outrageous 141, which saw them chase down almost 250 and maybe kick-start their turnaround. Is it time to load up on SRH stock? Or are there still worrying signs? Things get dark when discussion turns to CSK - the intent has disappeared, no one is scoring runs and not even MS Dhoni cameos can really get the crowd excited any more. Can they turn it around? Or is it already time to sell all our stock despite it reaching an all-time low? To round out the show, we detour briefly to talk about Harry Brook's appointment as England captain, we talk Digvesh Rathi's celebrations, Vipraj Nigam establishing DC's spin trio & Nicholas Pooran's six-hitting prowess as LSG continue to impress. We expect to be back in your feed later in the week with more IPL coverage.

And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start on a positive note with praise for the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals for their performances this week, as well as a shout out to the mega auction player reshuffle that has led to an unpredictable start to the 2025 edition of this tournament. As we move through the episode we hit on a number of other topics: Can DC keep up their good form? What's happened to Travis Head and the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup? Are the Chennai Super Kings confused? And is MS Dhoni part of the problem? Is the impact player rule leading to fewer competitive games? Will the return of Jasprit Bumrah change the fortunes of the Mumbai Indians? Why isn't the fielding better? Is it time to reinvest in pace bowlers? And much more!

They went big in the auction for Venky Iyer, will that pay off with another trophy for Dre Russ, Narine and the lads. ​​www.pitch-mag.co.uk/ - use code Pitch+CricketPod15 for 15% off your first order Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Stumped with Nikesh Rughani, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta is an Indian T20 franchise special.The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League starts on 22 March, and the team discuss the major talking points heading into the tournament, including Kolkata Knight Riders selecting Ajinkya Rahane as captain and if this could be the year for Virat Kohli's RCB to win their first title?We reflect on Mumbai Indians winning the Women's Premier League for the second time in three years.Plus, we chat to cricket bat restorer Barney Morris about the rare and growing trade in cricket bat repairs.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie, Baldy and Stu kick off the IPL 2025 coverage by previewing the fortunes of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. We start with a Baldy explainer, and a quick chat about the impact of the mega auction, before moving straight into the team previews. We discuss what excites us about our chosen teams, whether that's particular players or team storylines, and whether they'll be in title contention come the business end of the tournament. First up is KKR, in which Binksy asks why they aren't favourites with the betting agencies, highlights the importance of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine again, as well as the talented Indian bowling core featuring the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora. There's also a word on Ajinkya Rahane taking over as captain. Next is Sunrisers Hyderabad, in which Stu gets excited about songs, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, the power-packed batting lineup and bowling reinforcements, before asking whether this team can go one better in 2025. For the Rajasthan Royals, the absence of Jos Buttler is the question on our minds. Without him and others, they look weaker and the betting agencies have written them off. But can Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and co. make those odds look silly when the winners medals are handed out at the end of May? The Mumbai Indians are up fourth, and Baldy proceeds with caution when discussing their favouritism with the bookmakers. Will the star-studded batting lineup featuring Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and friends deliver in 2025? Or will the absence of Jasprit Bumrah - for how long? - be too difficult to overcome with the ball in hand? To round out part one of our preview, Jamie takes a look at CSK, highlighting the plethora of options their allrounder-packed squad provides them. What role will Rachin Ravindra play? Will MS Dhoni continue his six-hitting exploits? And when the team does settle on a best XI, will it be strong enough to take them to the final? We'll be back in your feed again at the end of the week with the second episode of our IPL 2025 Preview.

Krieket: Heinrich Klaasen van Suid-Afrika het die duurste speler in die geskiedenis van die Indiese Premierliga geword met wie 'n kontrak gesluit is. Sunrisers Hyderabad het die paaltjiewagter en kolwer vir 48-miljoen Namibiese dollar aangestel vir die 2025-seisoen, saam met kaptein Pat Cummins en Travis Head van Australië. Nog 'n Suid-Afrikaner, Faf du Plessis, is nie deur Royal Challengers Bengaluru gekontrakteer nie. Die verdedigende kampioene, Kolkata Knight Riders, het sy kaptein, Shreyas Iyer, laat gaan. Klaasen sê hy is opgewonde om steeds vir die Sunrisers te speel.

Die Kolkata Knight Riders het ʼn oortuigende oorwinning van agt paaltjies teen die Sunrisers Hyderabad behaal en spog met hul derde Indiese Premierliga-titel. Andre Russell het drie paaltjies laat kantel en die Sunrisers was op 113 almal uit met die laagste telling ooit in ʼn IPL-eindstryd. In antwoord daarop het kaptein Shreyas Iyer geskitter met die kolf en ʼn onoorwonne 52 aangeteken terwyl Kolkata die teiken in slegs 10,3 boulbeurte bereik het. Iyer sê die span het reg deur die toernooi beïndruk:

Simon Mann is alongside Abhishek Jhunjhunwala & Nikesh Rughani for reaction to KKR's comprehensive win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to win their third IPL title.Hear the thoughts of Kolkata's Andre Russell and Varun Chakravarthy after the thumping win, plus KKR's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar who Russell was keen to express him admiration for.They also look back at the tournament as a whole, discussing the ‘impact player' which was brought into the competition this year and whether it effectively rules out the role of an all rounder in the format.

It's here! The big one! The IPL Final is upon us as KKR take on SRH. Lucky for you the boys from The Cricket Podcast are on hand to deliver their expert analysis and reaction to Kolkata Knight Riders versus Sunrisers Hyderabad. Who will the IPL Final? Will it be all conquering Pat Cummins? Will Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma go balistic? Will Sunil Narine and Andre Russell bring their West Indian brand of carnage to the game?

In IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 Rajasthan Royals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad. The winner will get a place in the 2024 IPL Final. SRH's batters were only able to post 175, with Klaasen top scoring with 50. Rajasthan's bowlers were able to tame the SRH beast, with Avesh Khan taking 3 wickets, as well as Trent Boult picking up another 3. However, with Rajasthan in the drivers seat, the pitch came into play. Suddenly Abhishek and Shahbaz were Murali and Warne, and the Sunrisers are on their way to the IPL final. This sets up a SRH v KKR final for the IPL. Which of the two powerhouse franchises will come away with the trophy?

Rajasthan Royals het Royal Challengers Bengaluru met vier paaltjies verslaan in die uitklopwedstryd van die Indiese Premierliga. Rajat Patidar met sy 34 het die meeste lopies aangeteken terwyl RCB tot 172 vir agt beperk is. In antwoord daarop het aanvangskolwer Yashasvi Jaiswal 45 gemoker en Rajasthan die teiken bereik met ses balle wat oorbly. Rajasthan speel Vrydag teen Sunrisers Hyderabad om te bepaal wie Sondag in die eindstryd met Kolkata Knight Riders kragte meet. Rajasthan se kaptein, Sanju Samson, sê die span het nou meer selfvertroue:

Mitchell Starc was in form early for Kolkata Knight Riders as he took 3 wickets in his first 3 overs to blow Sunrisers Hyderabad's top order away. After posting a modest total, SRH were crushed as KKR marched into the IPL 2024 final.

Four IPL games on our latest weekend reaction show. Earlier today Will Jacks smashed an amazing century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with Virat Kohli watching on in awe.  Earlier in the weekend Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants, with Sanju Samson cashing in. And Delhi Capitals won AGAIN, as they all but eliminated Mumbai Indians from the tournament.  Finally, Chennai Super Kings are taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chennai posted a big score thanks to Ruturaj Gaikwad, but will it be enough to stop Heinrich Klaasen.  Head to Serious Cricket to find your cricket gear for 2024: www.serioussport.co.uk/cricket?af=the-cricket-podcast Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Want to create live streams like this?

two IPL 2024 games to talk about on this episode of The Cricket Podcast. First up we talk about Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally winning a match, as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad to snap a long losing streak. Will it be too little too late for Virat Kohli and RCB? And today, KKR went massive, smashing 260+ runs v Punjab Kings. Will that be enough for the Kolkata Knight Riders, to take them into a great position to make the IPL play-offs. However, Punjab Kings had other ideas, as they orchestrated the greatest chase in T20 cricket, with Bairstow and Shashank leading the charge.  Head to Serious Cricket to find your cricket gear for 2024: www.serioussport.co.uk/cricket?af=the-cricket-podcast Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Three games in the 2024 IPL for us to talk about this weekend. Yesterday Lucknow Super Giants beat the Punjab Kings of comedy, thanks to Mayank Yadav bowling 97mph and Nicholas Pooran blasing the ball into orbit.  Today we say the Gujarat Titans overcome the Sunrisers Hyderabad thanks to a combination of Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed.  Then later Delhi Capitals posted a score of 190 v Chennai Super Kings and thanks to some tight bowling put the pressure on Gaikwad, Dhoni and the boys to pull off a difficult chase. Rishabh Pant scored his first 50 since his car accident.  Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Want to create live streams like this?

On our midweek 2024 IPL reaction we discuss three games, featuring: Sunrisers Hyderabad v Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans v Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings v Royal Challengers Bangalore.  The main story is Sunrisers Hyderabad who, led by Klaasen, Head and Abhishek Sharma blitzed their way to the IPL record score of 275. Mumbai Indians were caught in the headlights as their bowlers were punished by the Sunrisers who were in amazing form.  Earlier in the week Chennai Super Kings overcame the Titans with ease, as MS Dhoni took a great catch along the way. And Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of the year as they jumped all over mistakes from the Punjab Kings.

NOTE - In the episode we say there will be 5 teams previewed in this episode, however things got out of hand - so we chopped the episode up and there will now be 4 IPL Team Preview episodes! The next episode will drop on Thursday (13/3) with parts 3 and 4 coming on Saturday and Monday. It is IPL 2024 preview time! This two part preview will cover every team in the competition in detail. Starting with the captain and coach, then moving on to strengths and weaknesses, the boys also throw in a comparable car, probable XI and season prediction. Rajasthan Royals are up first, what are their chances during this season. They feature an explosive batting line up, including Jaiswal, Buttler, Samson and Hetmyer, as well as quality bowlers like Boult. However, might they be exposed at the death? Mumbai Indians have a god squad. The sky is the limit for Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Tim David, Rohit Sharma, etc. But will a captaincy change cause trouble? Sunrisers Hyderabad finished bottom last season, but they went shopping in the auction and now things could change. Lead by Pat Cummins the team also features Hasaranga and Klaasen, but their domestic core is not as exciting as other sides.
