Australia vs New Zealand is on Saturday October 22 at 6pm AEST, 8am BST, midday PKT, 12:30pm IST, 7pm NZST, 3am ET and midnight PT. The qualifying round is over, the Super 12 begins and here’s how to watch Australia vs New Zealand on a live stream (or boring old broadcast TV) in the first ‘proper’ game of the T20i World Cup. Shortly after that finishes, there’s more short-form cricket mayhem to enjoy, so don’t go away…
Here’show to live stream and watch England vs Afghanistan, but before we get onto that, here are my predictions, for what they’re worth. New Zealand to squeak past an Australian side packed with great players, many of whom are not quite that good at T20. England to struggle far more than they should in the face of Afghanistan’s mystery spinners and aggressive batsmen, including the hard-hitting Zadran brothers. Losing the first game of a World Cup where only the top two out of two groups of six of the world’s top 12 sides go through is not necessarily the end of the world… but it’s notgreat, is it?
I always think the team batting first in a top-class T20 game nowadays is obliged to come out at score at 10+ per over in the power play. That’s just what New Zealand did, and apart from a little bit of a middle-overs lull, they carried right on. I can’t say I’m very familiar with NZ’s young opener Finn Allen but he cleaned up the holy trinity of Starc, Hazelwood and Cummins, racing to 42 off 16 balls as he and the old stager Conway put on 50 in less than 4 overs. They were 125/2 after 13 overs, even though Kane Williamson (23 off 23 balls) barely got started. Sky’s predictor at that point was saying 200, and for possibly the first time in history, that turned out to be perfectly correct.

When is Australia vs New Zealand in the T20 World Cup?
We’re happy to help. Australia vs New Zealand starts on Saturday October 22 at 6pm AEST, 8am BST, midday PKT, 12:30pm IST, 7pm NZST, 3am ET and midnight PT.
Afghanistan vs England starts on Saturday October 22 at 10pm AEST, midday BST, 4pm PKT, 4:30pm IST, 11pm NZST, 7am ET and 4am PT.
All this is subject to rain, of which there may be rather a lot. Tragically, much of Australia currently resembles Atlantis and while we’ve been lucky with the weather so far in the T20 cricket, our luck can’t last forever.

How to watch Australia vs New Zealand in the UK
Needless to say,Sky Sportsis your first – and indeed only – port of call for the World Cup T20i action if you’re in the UK. That’s via a satellite dish, Sky Go, Sky Glass or the floating voter’s favourite:Sky Now. There, a Sports pass will set you back just £25 per month for 6 months, with free Boost for the first month, so you can watch in full HD, as opposed to slightly crappy semi-HD. That will then cost an extra £5 per month if you want to continue with it, alas.There is one other option which is to buy a 1-day pass to Sky Sports for £11.99 – but that does not strike us as great VFM, compared to the monthly deal above.
