India Vs Australia Live Streaming - 1st T20

India Vs Australia Live Streaming

Match Update: Aus wins by 31 runs
Let us all get ready for a gruelling month and a half for limited version of cricket. Yes after a long test series where India was again presented a white wash, now its time for some colourful and ever exciting T20 cricket action. India being a better outfit recently in the limited overs version would be hoping for a win on this tour.


Australia is riding high on confidence after registering a comprehensive 4-0 win over India in the test series. They would certainly love to repeat the feat in T20 as well as the tri nation ODI series. With T20 world cup down the line this year, none of these teams would like to take these T20 matches lightly.


Something interesting for the Australians would be their new T20 skipper George Bailey. He will be making his international debut with this T20 match and would also lead the Australian side. Not to forget he is Chennai Super Kings team mate of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as well.


With like of David Warner, David Hussey and Shaun Marsh; Australian side will be lightened up with young and energetic batsmen. Brett Lee will add colours to the side along with Brad Hogg who would keep us interested in the bowling department with his chinaman deliveries.


Desperate for a win, Indian side will be playing youngsters like Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, etc. Bowling deparment will see a change with Praveen Kumar sneaking into the team. There is an add on to the excitement when one of the two Irfan Pathan or Ravindra Jadeja will play at no.7 in Indian batting line up.


Will this match change fortunes for team India and give them their first win on this tour? Let us enjoy live cricket streaming online and watch some tumbling wickets and huge sixes.

India Vs Australia 4th Test Live Streaming

Ind Vs Aus 4th Test Live


Since the boxing day, one team has exceeded the expectations whereas the other has given up in all terms. India's best chance of upstaging Australia in Australia now looks India's worst ever performance in Australia. To add to the pain, MS Dhoni has been suspended due to slow over rate in the Perth Test. In his absence, opening batsman Virender Sehwag will anchor the Indian captaincy.

Sehwag has been in a bad form on this tour with just one half ton. Similar is the story of most of the other Indian batsmen. Virat Kohli showcased some resistance in the last test and a lot is expected from him. Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman need to click this time if India has to win.

VVS Laxman has been the most criticized Indian batsman on this tour. His vulnerable batting makes him the first option for the critics to say he should make way for a youngster. Who knows he may click form and hit a ton to silent the critics. On the other hand even Kohli has a brilliant opportunity to continue his good batting and strengthen his position in the test side.

Australia will include Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc will be rested. The other bowlers in the playing eleven would be Siddle, Hilfenhaus and Harris. Indian selectors may not give a chance to Rohit Sharma this time also but it is likely that R Ashwin will make a come back. In absence of Dhoni, Wriddhiman Saha will make an entry as wicketkeeper.

Adelaide Oval offers a lot of support to the batsmen but it also helps the quickies a lot on day 1. Rest of the days it will prove helpful to the spinners as well. Keeping in mind the stats that Sehwag has two wins out of 3 as a captain and Australia has one just one out of last four matches at Adelaide Oval; India should strive hard to capitalize and clinch a win here.

India Vs Australia 3rd Test Live Streaming

Ind Vs Aus Live Streaming


Will the Indian batsmen take the onus and clinch a win here? Or will they again crumble like a house of cards? Except Sachin none of the Indian batsmen have performed to their best. Sachin Tendulkar has so far scored 226 runs at an average of 56.50. Till the time he doesn't reach his 100th International century even his good batting efforts so far looks in vain. He badly needs support from the rest of the batsmen at Perth in the 3rd test match.


Indian batsmen would be playing on one of the fastest pitches in the world. True bounce may help them time the ball well but otherwise tackling the bouncers won't be easy. Laxman, Kohli, Dravid, Gambhir, Sehwag and Dhoni badly need to click this time.


Bowlers have given a mixed kind of performance so far. At times they have done too well and many a times they have even failed to wipe off the opposition tail. Overall team India needs to take inspiration from their last match played at the same venue in the last tour. Similar was the case when India was down 0-2 followed by the "monkeygate" chapter. Some inspired bowling by Ishant Sharma gifted India a win here in 2007-08. Something similar is what the fans are expecting from the Indian team.


Australia is definitely aiming another win here as they already have their confidence level too high after an unbeatable lead of 2-0 in the series so far. With the middle order in good form and bowling clicking well; the team surely aims another win. The only concern for them is the top order which isn't in good form.


It won't be too hard to predict the match result if India doesn't play as a team here. Let us expect a tougher match this time with India putting in something inspirational. Let us also see if India makes some surprising changes to the playing eleven.

PCB XI Vs England XI Live Streaming Warm Up Match

PCB XI vs England XI live streaming would be available online on various resources. None of the cricket matches nowadays are out of your reach even if your television sets are out of your reach. Thanks to the internet world. England after achieving a "not so convincing" win over the ICC Combined Associate and Affiliate XI now takes on Pakistan Cricket Board XI for another warm up match at Dubai.

England could manages a 3 wicket win and the scoreline looked as follows in the last warm up match:
1st innings 
ICC Comb XI 281
England XI 185
2nd innings
ICC Comb XI 164
England XI 261 for 7

Its time now for another tour match. England would be looking for a better win this time before they embark on the actual test series against Pakistan. At the same time the opposition would look to upset the England team with a win here.
Bresnan has been ruled out of the complete test series and hence Strauss would be looking for a good replacement through this warm up match. Tremlett will always be a good replacement and Strauss is pretty confident about him.

On the other hand Pakistan Cricket Board XI would definitely look to tighten up things for England. A win here for the PCB XI would give a lot of confidence to the Pakistani team in the first test to be played later on this month.

India Vs Australia 2nd Test Live Streaming Cricket

Ind Vs Aus 2nd Test Live Streaming


The test series between the heavyweights Australia and India now moves on to Sydney Cricket Ground for the 2nd test match. India faced a bitter disappointment after losing MCG test by 122 runs to Australia. The 2nd test thus becomes a vital one especially for India. Australia hold their nerves right till the end to clinch the 1st test. Otherwise both the teams looked in a winning position till 4th day of 1st test.


Australian top batting order is a worry for them. It has not really clicked well in the recent past. Bowling department has been upto the mark. The home team probably wouldn't make any changes to the playing eleven. Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting who were under the scanner in 1st test came out with flying colours. They played with temperament and application to take their team home with a victory.


Indian test cricket is on a down slide with 5 consecutive test defeats abroad. 4 test matches on the trot against England and one against Australia at Melbourne. India definitely wants to get rid of this unwanted record. Dhoni said Australia should not take India lightly as they do bounce back hard. Dravid is concentrating on his technique to defend the incoming deliveries better. Kohli and Gambhir's form is a worrying factor for India. Probably India will go in with an unchanged side but there are slim chances of Rohit Sharma getting a chance here at SCG.


Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman
The overcast conditions at Sydney can play a spoilsport. There is a buzz that pitch is fairly prepared for both the teams giving them equal opportunities to showcase their best! Initially the pitch will help the pacers and after two days it will surely support the spinners. Australia would surely be wary of two batsmen here who have an excellent record at SCG; VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar. Hopefully Sachin reaches his 100th international ton here.
