Australia take on New Zealand in their first fixture away from home of the new year on Wednesday February 3, with the match beginning at 12 midday (AEDT).
Australia are favourites to win on foreign soil in the first match of the series, priced at $1.67 with betting agencies, while New Zealand are out to $2.22.
There’s a number of different ways available to watch the match, whether you’re looking to do so online via live streaming, on TV, or listening on the radio.
How to watch on TV
In Australia the match is exclusive to Foxtel, which means the only way to live stream it is to use the Foxtel Go or Foxtel Play apps which allow users to stream Foxtel channels.

Foxtel Go is available for free if you already have an existing Foxtel service. Foxtel Play is better for those who are just looking to access live-streaming services rather than have a traditional installation.
Foxtel Play starts at a minimum of $25 per month, but is at least $50 per month if including the ‘Sports’ package. A two-week free trial is available for new customers.
The Cricket Australia Live Pass will not allow you to stream the match, as it only allows streaming of matches played inside Australia.
How to stream online
The match is being exclusively broadcast in Australia by Foxtel, and can only be watched live on Fox Sports 5 (channel 506). Coverage of the match will start at 11:30am (AEDT).
How to listen on radio
Our favourite choice for live cricket coverage is on ABC Grandstand. If you can’t get to a radio to listen on your local AM dial, you can hear a simulcast of the national broadcaster’s coverage on the Cricket Australia website – you will need to sign up for a Cricket ID, however this is free.
