Australia‘s three-match One Day International series gets underway against New Zealand at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, December 4 at 2:20pm (AEDT). This is The Roar‘s ultimate guide to watching, streaming and listening to the match.

How to stream online

The only way to legally stream the One Day International series between New Zealand and Australia will be through the Cricket Australia live Pass from cricket.com.au.

There are two options in getting the pass, with the first of those being the 365 pass, which allows you to stream every match played in Australia – from the international scene through to the BBL and now completed Matador Cup. This costs $29.99.

The second option is a day pass, which gives you all the same entitlements but only for a period of 24 hours and will set you back $5.99.

It should be noted that overseas tours, unless otherwise noted will not be available through the live pass as they are broadcast on pay-TV broadcaster Fox Sports.

If you are with Optus as your mobile provider, then the live pass may be included in your plan for no extra cost – however, if you are outside of a WI-FI zone when streaming, data charges will occur as per normal.

Don’t forget The Roar will have a live blog of each and every day from the summer of cricket as well as highlights throughout and after the match.

How to watch on TV

The exclusive rights to all international cricket played within Australia belong to the Nine Network and as such, whether through Nine, NineHD, NineGEM or Southern Cross Nine it will be the only way to watch this match.

While the broadcast is scheduled to begin at 1:30pm (AEDT) – 50 minutes before the first ball – and finish at the conclusion of the match, it’s important to note you may take in a channel change if the game does not go to schedule or you live in another part of the country.

This is due to Nine’s news, which will be displayed at 6pm in your local area. This should be during the innings break for those observing daylight savings time on the east coast, however checking your local guide is neccessary to know which of Nine’s channels the game will be on.

If you are in New Zealand, the match will be broadcast on Sky Sports NZ. Their broadcast begins at 3:15pm (NZST), 65 minutes before the first ball.

How to listen on Radio

For this series, there are only two options to listen on radio, these being ABC Radio and Fairfax Radio.
