IND vs PAK live stream: how to watch Cricket World Cup online

For many, India vs Pakistan at the 132,000 capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will be the most important match of the league stage. Due to politics, Pakistan and India only play one another in World or Asia Cups. Defeat for India, at the first world cup at which they are sole hosts, would be almost unbearable given the men in blue have never lost to their arch rivals in this competition.

Pakistan, who were inserted, have been bowled out for 191 in the 43rd over. They lost their last eight wickets for 36 runs, having been 155-2 in the 30th over. The match is airing for FREE in Australia on the 9Now streaming service. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch IND vs PAK live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

The format of the recent Asia Cup was tweaked to allow an extra day’s play in the India-Pakistan Super 4s clash after their earlier group match had been washed out after one innings. Pakistan may rue this late change to the rules for this one match as they went to their heaviest-ever runs defeat by India, by 228 runs.

The Asia Cup went badly for Pakistan. They were to be the sole host, but India refused to play in Pakistan, so Sri Lanka were made co-hosts and given the bulk of the fixtures. Pakistan started the Asia Cup as the number one ranked side in the world and finished it bottom of the Super 4s.

But Pakistan have started this world cup well, with wins against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. However, India have started it in even better form in their wins against Australia and Afghanistan. One of the hundred percentage records in this world cup will go. But this is a day when the league table is almost immaterial.
