What You'll Learn
India vs Australia streaming services in India
Cricket fans in India can watch the India vs Australia Test series via the Star Sports Network. The cheapest way to watch is via the Disney Plus Hotstar app, which starts at 499 rupees for its Mobile plan, going up to 899 rupees for its Super tier, and 1,499 rupees for the service's all-access Premium content plan.
The ICC Men's T20 World Cup will also stream for free through Disney+ Hotstar in India. However, this differs from regular Disney+ and requires an Indian phone number to sign up, so people from other countries with Disney+ accounts won't be able to use this.
If you're looking for a streaming-only option without any hardware installations, you can try Sky's Now TV service, which operates on one-month rolling contracts. Prices start at £14.99. This is a good option to pair with a VPN if you're not in the UK.
In the US, the ICC Men's T20 World Cup will be available to stream through Willow TV, which can be accessed through Sling TV and Fubo. Sling's Desi Binge plan carries Willow and starts at $15 a month, with the first month currently going for $10. Fubo is a more expensive option at $79.99 a month, but it comes with a one-week free trial and a lot more channel variety.

Australia vs India streaming services in Australia
Cricket fans in Australia can watch the India vs Australia Test series on the 7Plus streaming service. 7Plus is free to use and has compatible apps with most mobile and smart devices. The series will also be available on Channel 7, 7+, Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
If you're looking to stream the match on a larger display, you can sign up for one of Disney Plus Hotstar's more expensive tier subscriptions. Disney Plus Hotstar starts at 499 rupees for its Mobile plan, going up to 899 rupees for its Super tier, and 1,499 rupees for the service's all-access Premium content plan.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. However, be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone), so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
