That catch by Suryakumar Yadav! 👏👏👏

Very tense last couple of overs. But South Africa just fail in the run chase and India win the 2024 T20 World Cup 🏆🏏

4 overs to go, only 26 runs needed. South Africa impressively attacking the spin bowling. But as I type this Hardik takes the wicket of Klaasen 😬🏏

Also keeping an eye on the football ⚽️

South Africa 🇿🇦 v 🇮🇳 India 🏏

Interval. India recovered that well! Going to need some good batting by South Africa against the Indian bowling attack 😧

South Africa having a good start 🏏

Settling down on a Saturday afternoon to watch the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final South Africa 🇿🇦 v 🇮🇳 India 🏏📺🍺

My first viewing of the live broadcasts from Glastonbury this year. Paul Heaton with Rianne Downey on the Pyramid Stage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎵

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v 🇮🇳 India T20 World Cup semi-final now underway 👏🏏

Brilliant and entertaining evening 🙏 🎵

Instead of the usual one 1¼ hrs it took us over 2½ hrs to drive to Bristol last night - delays leading up to the Brynglas Tunnel and an accident on the Severn Bridge 😔

But it was made worthwhile by fish and chips at The Hatchet Inn and my first visit to St. George’s. An impressive venue.
