The Cricket Podcast cover both matches with their reaction and analysis of the contests. The England v Australia contest could decided the winner of Group 1 as both sides go into the contest with a record of played 2, won 2. Will Warner maintaing his form, or will England prove a step up? Can Morgan's men win again virtually seal top spot, and put themselves in a great position to win the T20 World Cup? In the earlier game, both Sri Lanka and South Africa will be desperate for a win. The loser will almost certainly be eliminated, whilst the winner will have a slim chance of catching second place.  And, because we had a day off yesterday we haven't covered the game of the tournament so far. As Afghanistan and Pakistan thrilled us all in the game of the tournament so far. Pakistan's Asif Ali was key as his side beat Rashid Khan's Afghanistan to put themselves in full control of Group 2.  And there will be a bit of chat about India tomorrow. Gonna be a packed show!

Today at the T20 World Cup, Australia overcame a Sri Lankan side that promised much but fell apart with the ball. Sri Lanka set a competitive score in the 150s but Australia's opening duo of Warner and Finch rolled back the years to chase it down with ease. Chameera and the other Sri Lankan quicks lost the plot, as Stoinis saw the Ausseis home with overs to spare.  And, after all of that, Jack and Ross have time to discuss the IPL. The BCCI released their retention rules this week, so the pair debate the impact this will have on the IPL and what they think this will mean for the tournament.
