ICC Men's T20 World Cup: South Africa reach historic final
South Africa men have reached their first ever World Cup final after beating Afghanistan
South Africa have reached their first ever Men's World Cup final after beating Afghanistan in the ICC T20 World Cup. They have previously lost two T20 semi-finals, most recently in 2014 against India and lost five 50 Over World Cup semi-finals. Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma debate if they can lift the trophy after going unbeaten so far in the competition. Plus they discuss Afghanistan reaching their first ever World Cup semi-final and their journey through the competition.
Plus Jim Maxwell shares where it went wrong for Australia after their early exit at the World Cup and whether it was a good tournament for the West Indies who were knocked out in the Super 8s. They ask what is next for Sri Lanka after Head Coach Chris Silverwood resigned.
We hear from Netherlands cricketer Sybrand Engelbrecht who has retired from the sport aged 35.
