In this episode of the show, Baldy and Raj look back at Day 5 of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, which featured three games: South Africa v Afghanistan, Australia v Ireland and West Indies v England. We start the show by discussing the Super Over mayhem as South Africa survived about a million scares to prevail against Afghanistan in surely one of the best T20 internationals ever. Ramanullah Gurbaz, Lungi Ngidi, Tristan Stubbs, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada and so many more talking points from this wild and emotional game with huge implications for progression to the Super 8 stage. The final game of the day saw the West Indies defeat England thanks to an impressive half-century from Sherfane Rutherford and a collection of wickets from the Windies spin attack, with Gudakesh Motie leading the way. To cap off the last game on the slate we move to Group B, where Australia kicked off their World Cup campaign in style against Ireland, thanks to 4-wicket hauls from Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa. There's talk of Australia's bowling lineup without the familiarity of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood, a nasty injury to Mitchell Marsh and how the batting line up looked without him in it. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to Day 6, which sees two home teams in action in Sri Lanka and India as they face Oman and Namibia respectively, while Italy take on Nepal in between those two fixtures.

The PowettPlay Podcast is back as hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell dive straight into the opening game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup for West Indies. Before breaking down the on-field action, the conversation turns to one of the tournament's biggest talking points so far...Shimron Hetmyer's late arrival to India due to visa issues. With rumours swirling, Kieran cuts through the noise and tells it exactly how it is, offering a clear, honest explanation of the situation and the genuine frustration felt within the West Indies camp. It's unfiltered insight you won't hear anywhere else. Attention then shifts to West Indies vs Scotland, as the Windies get their T20 World Cup campaign off to a winning start. Despite the victory, Kieran is far from satisfied especially with the powerplay performance. He doesn't hold back, stressing just how imperative fast starts are in a tournament where margins are fine, quality opposition is coming thick and fast, and points carry over into the Super 8s. With tough fixtures ahead, Kieran explains why West Indies must raise their intensity early in innings if they're serious about going deep in the competition. As always, it's brutally honest analysis, elite cricket insight, and real talk from someone who's been there at the highest level. A must-listen episode for anyone following West Indies in the T20 World Cup and the stories shaping their campaign.

Send us a textHello and welcome everyone to another episode, in which we look back at the two tests across the Tasman Sea, the WI-NZ test match and the 2nd Ashes test match. I am joined by the usual triumvirate of Sandeep, Ajit and Shounak and we discuss how well Windies managed to save the game, albeit NZ were a couple of players short in the 4th innings. And then we absolutely thrash the lame excuses Eng has made after this loss, look at how they have continued to perpetuate their weaknesses when Australia appears to have put in a better performance. Finally, we also pay our respects to Robin Smith, a legend of the game from the late 980s to mid 1990s, the purveyor of a great cut shot. May he rest in peace.
