As the planet's two best red-ball teams do battle at The Oval in the 2023 World Test Championship final, we'll explain how to watch Australia v India live streams
The 2023 World Test Championship final sees two of international cricket's biggest super powers do battle at The Oval. And you can watch every session with our guide below on live streaming Australia v India.
For India, it's a chance to show why they're number one in the official ICC test rankings and make up for their defeat to New Zealand in the final two years ago. Coming off a home series win against the Aussies in March will only bolster the confidence of Rohit Sharma's men further.
For the returning Pat Cummins and Australia, it serves as a double whammy: WTC final and a truly competetive Ashes warm up. Josh Hazlewood is the only player likely to miss out through injury, with an otherwise full strength squad at Cummins' disposal.
All eyes will be on the World Test Championship final this week and we'll explain below how you can watch Australia v India live streams anywhere. Including TV channel information around the globe and even how to watch using a VPN if you're trying to stream your own country's coverage while abroad.
Note that the start time at The Oval is earlier than most normal Test matches in England, with play commencing each morning at 10.30am BST. Daily coverage starts each day on Sky Sports at 10.00am from Wednesday, June 7 through to Sunday (with Monday being held in reserve in case of rain).
Play starts each day at 7.30pm AEST in Australia, and that's 3.00pm IST in India.
For cricket lovers in the US, play commences at 5.30am ET / 2.30am PT each day streamed as cheaply as $7 thanks to a special offer from Sling TV.
