We've gone all in for the World Cup semi-finals, something new for BBL Supercoach & Wicky's podcasts train rolls on
You can find all our data tools and content across all sports as well as our social media profiles and Discord community?right?here.
The 2023 Cricket World Cup final is now in sight - the day after India qualified for the final showdown, we're set to find out which of Australia and South Africa will join them at Ahmedabad on Sunday.
We've been all over the World Cup knockout games, with a podcast and an article covering vital numbers, talking points, and key players, and if you're keen on cricket, you don't want to miss what we have in store.
After the World Cup, we march on to the home summer of T20 cricket & we've got a major update on our plans for the BBL and the 2023/24 BBL Supercoach season.
Our BBL efforts are part of a larger push for more content across multiple sports, and after an encouraging response in their first week, our five (!) podcasts are back for more in week two.
Read on to catch up with all things Wicky from the past week.
Australia to make their 8th World Cup final or South Africa their first? It's a preview of the 2023 Cricket World Cup semi-finals on Wicky's Cricket Podcast!
With India having emerged victorious from the first semi-final at Mumbai & qualified for the final at Ahmedabad, we now turn to the Kolkata semi-final between Australia and South Africa to find out who will face the hosts on Sunday.
Earlier in the week, we recorded episode 14 of Wicky's Cricket Podcast previewing the World Cup semi-finals and if you haven't already, there's no better time to catch that episode.
In the latest episode, we look at Australia's chances against a fearsome South Africa side and the importance of the toss to the outcome. We also break down what Australia might take note of in India's defeat of South Africa at the same venue and there's some tactics chat too - we explore why Australia's lineup might force a change of approach mid-game.
There's also time for some WBBL analysis in the last quarter of the show: using our Women's T20 Portal, we spotlight the Brisbane Heat seamer Courtney Sippel and the truly curious season she's having - although if you look at the numbers as we do, maybe it's not that surprising.
We've also collected some interesting numbers and insights in our preview article for the semi-finals - if you're looking for the key players & battles in Australia v South Africa, remember to check out the piece linked below!
This week's cricket podcast is available in video here.
