This Week in Cricket #74: Australia win the T20 World Cup

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

The T20 World Cup ended with Australia being crowned the champions of the world as New Zealand were heartbroken again in another white-ball tournament. We re-live the emotions of the final and some incredible batting from Kane Williamson, David Warner and Mitchell Marsh.

• Did the toss decide the game?
• Could the Black Caps have done anything differently?
• Did anyone see Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazelwood having such a starring role for Australia at this World Cup?

We also look back at the tournament as a whole to discuss the format, schedule, key players and our favourite moments. It was a tough episode for the Kiwis - but Baldy kept the gloating to a minimum and saved his shoeys for after the recording.

We'll be back again later this week (Saturday morning NZ time) with two episodes on the evolution of T20 cricket, before we preview the upcoming New Zealand vs India Test series (Monday afternoon NZ time).
