Michael Clarke and Gerard Middleton are back for the Season finale of Beyond23, wrapping up a massive year of cricket and reflecting on some of the biggest moments from an unforgettable season.

They then look back on the IPL season as a whole, breaking down the major storylines, standout performances, Orange and Purple Cap winners, surprise packets, disappointments, and the players who defined the tournament. The conversation shifts to Australia's ODI series against Pakistan, analysing the early results, key performances, and what the series could mean for players pushing their case ahead of a busy international schedule.
