ICC Men's T20 World Cup Day 20: Markram's men stay undefeated & India's dominant win

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at Day 20 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which was a huge day for Group 1 in the Super 8s, featuring South Africa against the West Indies and India taking on Zimbabwe. We start the show with a bang, then it's straight into the action to discuss a South African victory against the West Indies that leaves them as the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and the one grabbing the tournament favourites tag. There's plenty of praise for Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Corbin Bosch with the ball, plus Aiden Markram and friends with the bat, but Baldy is slightly concerned by the amount of chances they are shelling in the field. For the West Indies, they simply never got going today, and all eyes turn to the final game of the Super 8s, which has essentially become a quarterfinal against India. In the second game of the day, India made a couple of changes to their lineup, and then that batting lineup fired to post a score of 256. Everyone made contributions, from Abhishek Sharma at the top to Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya at the finish, in a reminder of how destructive they can be as a group when they get going. For Zimbabwe, Brian Bennett starred again, his unbeaten 97 littered with some fantastic cricket shots in a performance that deserved a hundred. But in the end, thanks in part to another excellent spell from Arshdeep Singh, India got the chocolates and keep their World Cup dreams alive. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to the Black Caps' game against England, in which a win will see them secure a semifinal spot and top Group 2. It's not likely to be easy, though, with spin expected to play a big part again in Colombo and with the threat of England in their way.
