Is this T20 World Cup the best yet? With Mark Watt and Kumar Sangakkara

Yas Rana, Ben Gardner, Katya Witney and Mark Butcher reflect on the T20 World Cup group stage and look ahead to the Super Eight phase.

There’s chat about a rare tournament failure for New Zealand, England’s narrow escape at the expense of Scotland and whether the new format has been a success.

Scotland spinner Mark Watt joins the show to discuss their performances, their frustrations at not progressing to the next round and wanting to become a full member nation.

Elsewhere in the show there’s a T20 Blast round-up, cricket technology in Euro 2024, Kumar Sangakkara on his return to club cricket and much more.
