The T20 World Cup kicked off on Sunday, with two Group B fixtures; Oman vs Papau New Guinea and Bangladesh vs Scotland. We are joined by Scouting Cricket's Ronan Alexander to understand how Scotland upstaged Bangladesh causing the first upset of the tournament on the very first day and we reflect on an impressive 10 wicket opening victory for Oman over Papau New Guinea.  Scotland and Oman both played with positive intent, getting Scotland out of jail when they were 53-6 whilst Oman's net run rate was boosted rather nicely. Papau New Guinea looked starstruck and it was an unfortunately silly run out that saw a promising middle order stand crumble. Bangladesh let complacency creep into their game and their lack of firepower with the bat saw them flail.  Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our sponsor: https://woodstockcricket.co.uk/ Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1njF-8tUuQVbTZVyUaoBcQ/join Our website: www.thecricketpod.com #T20WorldCup Learn more about your ad choices.

Chennai Super Kings overcame the Kokata Knight Riders to win the 2021 IPL final. In fine style CSK dispatched their opposition, posting a mammoth before strangling the KKR innings in the middle overs. Chennai Super Kings posted an intimidating total of 193 thanks to Faf Du Plessis' great knock. Narine was the only bowler to produce any magic for KKR on this occasion, as Morgan's, Kolkata Knight Riders, bowlers were sent round the park by Moeen and Uthappa.  After a good start in the chase KKR were unable to keep up with CSK as eventually Shoni's boys ran away with it.

In the second match of the IPL play-offs Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the ELIMINATOR. The Cricket Podcast record a live show to cover the action, providing analysis and reaction to the contest.  RCB finished with 9 wins in the group stages, good for third place overall, one place above KKR. This made them slight favourite for this match, but around the halfway stage they had become bogged down with Bharat and Kohli struggling to find the boundary.  Will they be able to set a competitive total, to set up a final for Kohli's final match as captain? Will specialist Captain, Eoin Morgan, finally score some runs? Are KKR's spinners too good?

Jack and Max are joined by TMS's Daniel Norcorss to review the latest two games in the IPL: Mumbai Indians v Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. As we approach the final stages, Mumbai are in need of a huge NRR swing, and theywere given the perfect opportunity against a hapless Royals side on a pudding of a wicket. RCB then had the chance to sneak into the top two, but somehow managed to blow it by losing to bottom side Sunrisers Hyderabad. Where does that leave things as we head into the final four fixtures? Who do we think will make it? And what are the white things on Jack's headphones? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
