In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which was played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between the Black Caps of New Zealand and the 2024 champions India. We start with our instant reactions to India's dominant performance that made them the first team to win back-to-back titles at the Men's T20 World Cup. It's a tough one as Black Caps fans, but all credit to India for the way they played without fear in three crucial matches to finish the tournament and go all the way. There's praise for Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan at the top of the order, as we wonder what - if anything - the Black Caps could have done to stop the Indian batting blitz. For New Zealand there was a brief moment of joy when Jimmy Neesham grabbed three wickets in an over, but Shivam Dube's flurry to finish meant the home side took all the momentum into the innings break. Tim Seifert made a nice start, but once Axar Patel struck with the key wickets of Finn Allen and then Glenn Phillips, it was always going to be tough work for the Kiwis. Jasprit Bumrah finished with 4-15 to claim the player of the match, while Sanju Samson was named player of the tournament. So there we have it - a month of high-quality cricket and plenty of fun for us on the show. New Zealand hearts broken again and India well deserved back-to-back champions in this edition of the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

T20 World Cup Daily, 2026, Final Preview – India/New Zealand: India face New Zealand in an ICC final for the third time since 2021 and will not only be desperate to make that a 2-1 scoreline, but to go some way towards shedding themselves of the memories of 2023 in this same stadium.

From on the ground at the T20 World Cup, Daniel Beswick joins Nick Skinner to share the views of the Associate sides at the tournament, and his brush with a fan club of the EC Pod!
The T20 World Cup final awaits but the real question is - should this tournament continue to be staged every two years?! Sure, there's a Finn Allen century to marvel at and a Jacob Bethell performance to savour, but what is the care factor here in Australia.So as well as ponder whether New Zealand might be set for their all time cricketing moment against a red hot India on home soil, Corbin and Ed debate if Australian cricket fans care about a trophy that comes around every five minutes. And more broadly, will the Aussie obsession for test cricket ever translate to similar fandom for the T20 variety beyond the four months over Summer.There's plenty more on the agenda too including an intriguing Sheffield Shield round on right now with Travis Head and Matthew Renshaw opening for their states, Adam Zampa hasn't been being retained by the Renegades and Pakistan players being fined for their sub par World Cup.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda, the latest in live fixtures with a hit of cricket banter.Catch every episode of ‘The ABC Cricket Podcast,' hosted by Corbin Middlemas on ABC listen or wherever you get your podcasts, and get in touch with them on social media via @abc_sport This podcast was formerly known as ‘The Grandstand Cricket Podcast'

Henry Moeran is alongside Michael Vaughan and Prakash Wakankar at a Holi celebration to look ahead to England's T20 World Cup semi-final against India in Mumbai. Plus, Sam Curran gives his thoughts ahead of the match at the Wankhede Stadium.
Miguel is joined on the podcast by Priyansh, a University of Toronto PhD candidate and new co-host of The End of Sport Podcast. In this episode, Priyansh outlines cricket's spread through British colonialism, elite club patronage, and later mass popularity in India via television and commercialization, noting the earlier prominence of field hockey and persistent class and regional inequalities. Furthermore, Miguel and Priyansh discuss Modi-era Hindu nationalist institutional capture of Indian cricket (BCCI), symbolic nationalism around stadium naming, and cricket's geopolitical implications, including Bangladesh being removed from the T20 World Cup amid tensions and Pakistan's threatened boycott of the India match, later reversed after talks. Priyansh connects this to state-capital consolidation, Indian corporate power in global cricket leagues, India's Olympic ambitions, and revisits C.L.R. James to stress fans' marginalization under capitalist sport.Links:* India-Bangladesh tensions rock cricket, as sport turns diplomatic weapon by Tauseef Ahmad and Sajid Raina/AlJazeera * Bangladesh firm on not playing T20 World Cup in India despite risk of exclusion by ESPNcricinfo * BCB accuses ICC of double standards over T20 World Cup venue issue by ESPNcricinfo * How India's politics is reshaping international cricket by Priyansh/360Info * PSL signs record broadcast deal until 2029 by Danyal Rasool/ESPNcricinfo * Donate to the Comrade Brotha Amp Da Truth* RU Spring 2026 Cuban Legal Studies Donation Drive Miguel Garcia and Comrade E produced this episode.

They discuss the prospects for the two semi finals, how England could surprise India in Mumbai, whether bowlers should just keep it simple and bowl at the stumps rather than use so many variations, and who will be champions on Sunday.
