Five wickets in an over in Hobart, three World Cups in Cape Town

Season 13, Ep 25: While the Women's T20 World Cup final might have gone entirely as expected to complete a hat-trick, the domestic WNCL final did not - an astonishing game of cricket even before the five-wicket final over. Meanwhile, the first women's IPL edition is gearing up for its start. Elsewhere, England and New Zealand set up an intriguing final day that got even better than expected after we finished recording this podcast. And there's a return for Happy Birthday Sachin, with a story via Bollywood actor Saiyama Kher.
