How to watch India vs Australia 1st T20I live stream on Sony LIV

Sony is the official broadcaster of India’s tour of Australia 2018-19. They also have the digital rights for live streaming of the matches. To watch the match, you either need to visit SonyLIV.com or simply download the app on your smartphone or tablet. If you are fine with a 5 minutes delay, you can watch the match for free on the platform. If you don’t want the people around to be 5 minutes ahead of you and hurling spoilers every 30 seconds, you will need to subscribe to the premium service. Thankfully, it doesn’t cost a bomb. You can opt for a monthly subscription for Rs 99, half yearly subscription for Rs 299 or an annual subscription for Rs 499. Mind you, this tour is going to be on for a couple of months, so choose wisely. In addition to cricket, you will also get access to other premium content from other sports, movies, TV series etc. The collection of movies and international TV series on Sony LIV isn’t as impressive as **Amazon** , **Netflix** or **Hotstar** yet, but 50 bucks a month for live sports itself leaves very little room for complaint.

Start the Sony LIV app on your smartphone or tablet, tap on the match stream and then tap on the casting icon on top, choose your Chromecast and cast it on your TV. Just make sure that your phone/tablet and Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network. The same method works with some of the newer Google certified TVs with built-in Chromecast too. If you do not have a Chromecast and your Smart TV doesn’t have one built-in either (like most Smart TVs), look for the Sony LIV app on the TV’s app store. If you can’t find it there, you can even sideload the app from a reliable APK file, but that’s for another day. Alternately, you can start the internet browser on the TV and go to SonyLIV.com. You can also mirror your phone/tablet screen on the TV. Almost all Smart TVs support mirroring functionality. Look for the screen mirroring option on the TV and your phone/tablet and sync the two. The instructions and nomenclature may vary slightly from device to device but it’s nothing you cannot figure out on your own with a bit of help from Google.
