India did more than save face with their ODI win in Canberra to finish the series 2-1 down. Will the Manuka Oval prove a happy hunting ground as the tourists head into the T20Is in the final warm up before the Tests begin? Make sure you know how to watch an Australia vs India live stream wherever you are. Game 1; game on.

Australia vs India ODI live stream

BT Sport has the right to air the Australia vs India T20I cricket in the UK. Anyone can enjoy the coverage with a £25 BT Sport monthly pass, even non-BT customers. Those in the US can watch Australia vs India on Willow TV through Fubo or Sling TV. Fox Sports and Kayo Sports offer options in Australia and it's the Sony Pictures Sports Network across India. Don't forget to use a VPN when trying to watch access to your home live stream when travelling abroad.

Three Twenty20 internationals and four Tests remain between these two old cricketing rivals and the fans will be there to enjoy them. Game 1 and Game 2 of the T20Is will be at half capacity and the SCG could be a full house of 48,000 for the final game.

Coming off the back of the IPL, there should be plenty of T20 form from both teams. While Glenn Maxwell wasn't prolific in India, the Aussie looked good in the ODIs and will be itching to get swinging again.

The Indian bowling attack seems to have turned a corner too with paceman Jasprit Bumrah looking sharp in the final one-day game and some blistering IPL form that saw him haul 27 wickets for a 6.73 economy rate.

David Warner is out for the hosts, Pat Cummins will be rested and both Mitchel Starc and Marcus Stoinis are doubts. Matthew Wade or D’Arcy Short will likely step in at the top of the order with Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Ashton Agar further down.

Will 21-year-old Cameron Green get another turn with bat and ball after his less than stellar ODI debut? It seems likely. 

The action begins at 8.10am GMT on Friday with the Game 2 and Game 3 on Sunday and Tuesday. Read on below to find out how you can catch every second of the Australia vs India T20I series wherever you are in the world.

Australia vs India T20I live stream from abroad using a VPN

US, UK and Australian citizens away from home or stuck abroad will need a VPN to access the their TV sports streams from outside their own countries. That means you can have a subscription to any of the services listed below, and watch wherever you are.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as NordVPN.

Nord VPN from £2.86 per month

Nord VPN from £2.86 per month
You can get three months free when you sign up to a two-year plan, bringing VPN access to six simultaneous smart devices including desktop computers, laptops, mobiles and tablets running Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. Nord offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Once you’ve made your choice, all you need to do is sign in to your VPN service through whichever device you’d like to use to watch the match. When prompted to select a server, you need to pick one which is based in the country whose content you’d like to access. Then navigate to the relevant video streaming app or website and you’re in.

Rights to show the Australia vs Inida T20I series in the UK belong to BT Sport and the good news is that you don't need to be a BT customer or BT broadband user to enjoy the action. Existing BT TV customers can add the BT Sport channels for as little as £7.50 per month.

Non-BT customers can buy a no-commitment BT Sport Monthly Pass for £25 and watch on any mobile device, tablet, laptop or any platform with the BT Sport app.

Upgrading to all four BT Sport channels is no big deal if you’re already a BT customer. Those with BT TV already can access the channels for £7.50 per month for the first three months. BT Broadband customers can enjoy the BT Sport app and watch on the go for the same price.

Sky TV users can also add BT Sport to their existing package from £30 a month, but that will not include any 4K viewing. It's also worth looking out for bundled Sky Sports and BT Sport deals.

However you subscribe to BT Sport, though, you will get access to streams via the BT website and BT Sport app, so you can watch on the move within the UK or from abroad, using a VPN.

US : Australia vs India T20I live stream

Cricket rights in the US belong to Willow TV and you can watch all of the Australia vs India T20I series for just $9.99 per month.

It's only available to those in US regions, so any US citizen stuck outside their own country during the second Test will need to use a VPN to get access.

Willow TV is available on a number of platforms including Sling TV and FuboTV, both of which offer free trials. Well worth trying them out and catching a free week of the cricket at the same time.
