How to Watch India vs. Australia Cricket World Cup Match Live Online

By NDTV Correspondent | Updated: 26 March 2015 16:58 IST

India are playing Australia in the second semi final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in Sydney on Thursday. The winner will go on to meet New Zeland in the final at the MCG on Sunday.

Just before the start of Cricket World Cup, the Indian cricket team had been touring Australia. The team couldn't win a single match after four test matches and tri-series. The poor run of form ended with the start of the World Cup, in which India is unbeaten.

The Indian cricket team has performed exceptionally so far in this edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. The Indian bowling unit, comprising Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and R Ashwin as the frontline bowlers, has taken 70 wickets in seven matches so far. India will be looking to take another 10 wickets against Australia, but it will be a far more challenging task due to the sheer strength of Australia's batting lineup. Australia has lost just one match this World Cup, which was a nail-biting encounter against New Zealand in the group stage.

This India vs. Australia fixture promises to be competitive and Indian fans will be hoping for a victory against Australia in the semi final. If you're not going to be sitting in front of a TV screen, you can use social media or apps to track the latest updates from the match, but those options aren't as good as live video.

You can catch the game live from the moment it begins - 9 am IST. If you're stuck in office or don't have a TV, you can still watch India vs Australia live online. This guide will help you watch the match live video online no matter where you are in the world.
