Australia certainly dominated the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final to win their fifth title. Not as competitive a match as their game with India earlier in the tournament suggested it would be, but impressive to watch. 🏏

Watching the 3rd T20I 🏏 between South Africa and England, the final and decisive T20 match of England’s tour of South Africa. I have really enjoyed this series, the Test matches, ODIs and T20 games have all been competitive and entertaining to follow, both on TV and radio (unexpectedly because coverage was on TalkSport rather than BBC TMS).
