Coverage, broadcast and radio options

Online
The only way to legally stream the one-day series between Pakistan 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 won’t 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.
