Watch India vs Australia 2016 Live Streaming and Telecast

After a well deserved break, Indian team is back in action. The team travels to Australia for a bilateral cricket series that consists of T20 and ODI cricket. Yes, no test cricket this time. One might wonder, aren't the Indians touring Australia too often? India toured to Australia last year for a test series which was followed by a tri-nation ODI series and the cricket world cup. In the current context, its more beneficial for India to visit Australia because the T20 world cup 2016 is around the corner. Competing against a team as strong as Australia would help team India raise their level of cricket before the much anticipated ICC event of T20 World Cup. Watch the exciting India vs Australia 2016 cricket series live streaming and telecast in India on Star Sports and HotStar.

Teams around the world are more active on the T20 front as they all need to be upto the mark before the start of T20 world cup. Playing India in a T20 match before that would also be beneficial for Australia as they are the hosts for T20 world cup. India would play host to the ICC T20 World Cup later this year.

MS Dhoni has had a tough time after the cricket world cup. He has a point to prove now. Following Kohli's success as a captain in the test format, many have a view that Dhoni should handover the T20 and ODI captaincy to Kohli. Meanwhile MS Dhoni is a great cricketer and all he believes right now is to concentrate on the Australia tour and the upcoming World Twenty20.

As a part of preparation, India plays two warm up matches against Australia. India vs Western Australia XI T20 and ODI practice match live streaming would be available in Australia on cricket.com.au and Cricket Australia live app. Indians can enjoy the same on HotStar and Star Sports.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Live - IPL 2015 Match 8

The Royal Challengers of Bangalore will face the Sun Risers of Hyderabad today! Its a complete South Indian affair at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Get ready for another run storm tonight. Watch Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad live streaming on Hot Star mobile app and Star Sports official website. Enjoy IPL 2015 live telecast on Sony Six, Sony Pix and Set Max (Sony Max) with live commentary in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali.

Royal Challengers Bangalore riding on Gayle's big knock thumped defending champions KKR in their last match. Once an impossible task to win looked so easy when Gayle got going. Before getting run out he had scored enough to see his team home. Even AB de Villiers played a small knock that came in handy. Virat Kohli is still due for a big one.

The overall performance for the team as a whole wasn't satisfactory. The bowling and fielding were below standard. Even the batting line up crumbled before Gayle took the charge to give two points to the team. He has set an example in this format of the game. He has played most number of T20s and has highest number of runs, sixes, centuries and fifties to his name. The only concern could be his fitness and inconsistency.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has always pitched in the best bowling line up since last few years. Even their batsmen have been able to score big. But luck has hardly favoured this team. They too could be termed as under-achievers just like Royal Challengers Bangalore. These two teams deserve much more than what they have got so far.

SRH needs to revisit all the strategies if they have to start winning more games. David Warner leads the side and he could be highly influential. He is a dangerous opening batsmen when he gets going. He has a good support of Shikhar Dhawan who consistently scores run for the team. 

It would be fun to see the contest between Hyderabad bowlers and Bangalore's batsmen, especially Steyn/Boult vs Gayle/AB de Villiers! Take a deep breathe, relax and enjoy another enthralling T20 match from the IPL 2015.

Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab Live Streaming

After first few exciting matches, its time for first IPL 2015 Sunday. Two big matches lined up for the day - Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab! We can expect houseful stadiums of Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi and Wankhede in Mumbai. Watch IPL 2015 live streaming on HotStar mobile app and Star Sports official website in India. Enjoy IPL 8 live telecast on Sony Six, Sony Max (Set Max) and Sony Pix with live commentary in Hindi, English, Telugu, Tamil and Bengali.

Delhi Daredevils lost their opening match to Chennai Super Kings by just one run! That could have gone their way too. Albie Morkel fought like a warrior against the franchise of CSK whom he played for years. Six needed in one ball - he smashed a boundary that fell just short of a six. Fortunes could turn with such a win against big teams like CSK but it didn't happen for Delhi. They are up against consistent Rajasthan Royals in front of their home crowd.

Rajasthan Royals made a successful start to their IPL 2015 campaign. They defeated mighty Kings XI Punjab in Pune by a good margin of 26 runs. After a shaky start, Rajasthan Royal's captain Smith anchored the innings. Good knocks by the lower middle order batsmen took RR to a good score. This was followed by some good bowling and fielding performances. Let us see who clinches this one at Ferozshah Kotla stadium.

One of the most fancied teams Mumbai Indians lock horns with Kings XI Punjab at Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians suffered a loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2015 opening match. They need to pull up their socks if they have to beat Kings XI Punjab.

Rohit Sharma smashed a good 98 just to see the team lose against KKR at the Eden Gardens. He would love to better his performance at Mumbai Indian's home ground. He would also expect some good performances from fellow batsmen and as well as the bowling line up.

Kings XI Punjab earned a lot of name, fame and fans last year when they dominated against every single team. Maxwell, Bailey, Sehwag and company marched to the finals with lot of wins. But they saw a defeat against KKR in the finals. Maxwell is due for a big one and so is Sehwag. Even the bowlers must have rolled up their sleeves for a win at Wankhede. 

Hopefully we are treated with quality cricket on Sunday!

CSK vs SRH and RCB vs KKR Live Streaming

Super Saturday brings a double header! The mighty Chennai Super Kings face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match today. Royal Challengers Bangalore challenge the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match. Watch IPL 2015 live streaming on Hot Star mobile app and Star Sports official website. Watch live telecast of these matches in India on Sony Six, Sony Max (Set Max) and Sony Pix with live commentary in Hindi and English.

Chepauk Stadium will host the first match that begins at 4pm Indian Standard Time. Chennai Super Kings clinched a one run win over Delhi Daredevils that doesn't bring too much of contentment to MS Dhoni. Boasting a strong batting line up consisting of Raina, McCullum, Faf du Plessis, Smith and Dhoni couldn't score more than 150. Some good fielding and bowling gave them a narrow win! They need to pull up their socks to provide an optimum performance.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have seen a bit of overhaul with David Warner now leading the side. He will open with Shikhar Dhawan. They have other good batters like Eoin Morgan and Kane Williamson. They have a strong batting line up to test the skills of Chennai batsmen. Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Trent Boult can give nightmares to any opposition.

The second match comprises of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and one of the most fancied teams Royal Challengers Bangalore. The match will begin at 8pm IST.

Kolkata Knight Riders would love to continue their winning run with one of the openers sticking to the crease and middle order taking care of the acceleration. Gambir, Uthappa and Manish Pandey do a decent job up the order. They have a good bowling line up with Sunil Narine and Morne Morkel.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost their last three matches against Kolkata Knight Riders. RCB players need to come up with brilliant performance to go past the defending champions. Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers are good enough to face any bowling line up in the IPL. They would miss the absence of Mitchell Starc but they still have good bowlers like Sean Abbott, Adam Milne and Varun Aaron.

Let us see which two teams out of these four strong contenders come up as winners!

Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab - IPL 2015 Match 3

After two nail biters we now lead to Pune at MCA International Stadium. This happens to be a new home ground for Rajasthan Royals. They will try to adapt very soon here but before that they face mighty Kings XI Punjab in Pune for IPL 2015 third match. Watch the action live in India on TV through Sony Six, Sony Pix and Sony Max telecast. Enjoy live Hindi, English, Bengali, Telugu and Tamil commentary. Watch live streaming on Star Sports website and HotStar mobile app.

Rajasthan Royals will never forget their first ever title win when Shane Warne lead the team. Since then they haven't seen that amount of success. Hopefully the team will come out with flying colours under the captaincy of Shane Watson. Other two Rajasthan players from the world cup winning team are Steven Smith and James Faulkner.

Kings XI Punjab have seen a lot of overhauls so far in the IPL history. Last year they looked the best so far under George Bailey's captaincy and Sanjay Bangar's guidance. Glenn Maxwell and David Miller have been an integral part of the squad since last year.

Since both these teams have tried to retain a lot of players, they stayed a bit silent in the IPL auction. With not a lot of rejig in the squad, we can expect similar roles and tactics from the team think tanks.

Kings XI probably hosts the most explosive batting department this year. Sehwag, Maxwell and Miller are match winners while Murali Vijay can be rock solid. Manan Vohra and Wriddhiman Saha add a lot of value to the middle order with George Bailey. Bowling attack looks decent with Mitchell Johnson, Axar Patel, Sandeep Sharma and Parvinder Awana.

For Rajasthan Royals the story is little bit similar. Watson, Samson and Smith can handle the batting pressure along with solid Ajinkya Rahane. Tim Southee can lead the bowling attack with Faulkner, Watson, Binny, Dhawal Kulkarni and Tambe.

Although Rajasthan Royals have bettered out Kings XI Punjab in head to head count, the Punjabi team will do all possible things to go one match up in the stats so far.

Mumbai vs Delhi and Chennai vs Hyderabad - IPL 2014 Super Sunday

IPL Live Score and Streaming on Star Sports, Go Cricket & Sony Six

Too many tight contests this time isn't it? The good part is we can see bowlers dominating this time. Sometimes it is felt still cricket isn't purely a batsmen game. Bowler can do their bit and they are doing it even better this time. Always good to see a tight contest between bat and ball. IPL 2014 Super Sunday brings another two big matches today - Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Catch live score and streaming of IPL 2014 on Star Sports or Go Cricket in India. Enjoy live telecast of IPL on Sony Six and Sony Six HD channels in India.

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils

Two teams that are lingering down at the bottom of the points table. They have nothing to lose now. Not too late but can't wait anymore. They need to kick off their winning ways. Mumbai is still winless whereas Delhi managed just one win out of four matches they played. Mumbai will play its fourth match today. Three to four straight wins in a row is what these two teams need.

The opening pair of Quinton de Kock and Murali Vijay seems to be well settled. They are followed by capable unit of batting line up that comprises of Pietersen, Duminy and Dinesh Karthik. Speculations are high that Delhi may bring Duminy up the order as he is in sparkling form. Mumbai's batting line up looks in dismal form. So Parnell and Shami would like to capitalise on this.

Mumbai Indians could manage scores of 121, 115 and 141 in their first three matches. That shows how badly the team is struggling while posting good totals. Hussey didn't fit into the schemes of the team so far so they can look to drop him and give Dunk an opportunity. Or they can bring Pollard and Anderson up the order and ask Rohit Sharma to open the innings.

The bowling line up for Mumbai looks strong but the batsmen have failed to post a total good enough to defend. Zaheer and Malinga are doing a good job in the pace attack. Harbhajan and Ojha are capable enough to pressurise the opposition with their quality spin attack. Can Mumbai break its winless record today or will Delhi register its second win and gain some momentum? Let us wait and watch. Quinton De Kock and certainly his whole team wants to win one before they play in Delhi for their next match
Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

This could be a match of two big hitting teams. And such a match is always a pleasure to watch when we are talking about the shortest version of cricket. Good part is both the teams have returned from a win in their last match. Especially Chennai has proved yet again that no one bounces back as well as they do. After losing first match they won three on the trot and won them all comprehensively.

For Sunrisers the biggest issue till the last match was drought of runs from the top order. Any team would feel proud to possess a top order like Dhawan, Finch and Warner. But they didn't click until they played in their last match against Delhi Daredevils. Similarly Chennai feels proud with powerful hitters up the order like McCullum and Dwayne Smith. Not to forget they have a long batting line up that consists of Raina and Dhoni too.

Sunrisers have played against Chennai twice and lost both the matches to them. They would be itching to clinch a win against the strong Chennai whereas Chennai would love to register another win and seal their second position in the points tally. Here is a message from CSK's official twitter handle.

RR vs RCB and KKR vs Kings XI - IPL Saturday Double Fun

IPL Live on Star Sports, Go Cricket and Sony Six

How much are you alive? I was almost dead when I saw Chris Lynn taking that blinder to clinch a win for KKR! Absolutely unbelievable catch. Could be easily rated as one of the best catches in cricket history. This is what cricket and IPL is all about. Enjoy the fun further with Rajasthan Royals facing Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders facing Kings XI Punjab. Today's matches would certainly produce further shuffling in the points table. Enjoy IPL 2014 live streaming on Star Sports and Go Cricket. IPL live telecast is available on Sony Six in India.

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Both these teams suffered a narrow loss in the previous matches. Rajasthan lost to Chennai by seven runs and RCB lost to similar such match against KKR. But things would be different this time as they would enjoy the leisure to play on best of the three venues in the UAE.

Shane Watson for Rajasthan is inconsistent. People also feel he should come up the order and open the innings. That would lay a quick and solid foundation to the Royals' innings. The Royal think tank can think of sneaking in Cooper or even Unmukt Chand up the batting order.

RCB has a strong batting line up and they would be hopeful of Gayle's return. Kohli, De Villiers and Yuvraj would always be the backbone of their middle order. Bowling wise they can turn tables on Rajasthan Royals. Both teams would strive for a win here to climb up few places in the points table.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab

Kolkata pulled out an unbelievable victory while defending an average total against RCB. It seemed it would be an easy win for RCB, but some tight bowling in the end, sluggish batting by Yuvraj and spectacular catch by Lynn dropped the match in KKR's pockets. They would love to carry on with a winning streak from here on as they have the potential to do so. But this time they are up against the strongest performing team of IPL 2014.

Gautam Gambhir is at the lowest of his confidence level after three ducks on the trot. A win in the last match would have provided him great relief after he was plumbed LBW for a naught again. Sunil Narine is doing a great job as usual. Kallis looks in great touch this year with his bat. He doesn't seem to be stopping in any terms.

Kings XI is certainly riding high on success of Maxwell. He has hammered all the opposition bowlers across all parks. Big question is how long can continue his good form. The team looks too relied upon Maxwell. Miller has batted well in couple of matches. If the bowling and batting department can click in tandem again, this team looks unbeatable. 

Kings XI is receiving a lot of good support due to Sehwag's fans. Here is a snap from twitter for the fans of Sehwag!


With two good matches involving four tough teams, your Saturday is definitely going to be Cricketing! And don't forget - catches win matches! Here is what Gayle has to say to support this fact...

Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals IPL Match 10 Preview

CSK vs RR Live on Star Sports, Go Cricket and Sony Six in India
While you all must be still mesmerised with the Maxwell innings yesterday against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, we shift the focus towards a big match today - Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals. This is 10th match of IPL 2014 and things have already been a lot interesting. Enjoy live streaming of this match on Star Sports and Go Cricket in India, live telecast in India on Sony Six TV channel.

This is how the points table looks right now:

Kings XI Punjab is riding high on the success of Maxwell. They have six points with an impressive net run rate of 1.68. Chennai is placed on third sport. If they win today they would move on second position thanks to their brilliant net run rate of 2.08. Rajasthan Royals are placed on fifth spot and even they can move on second or most probably third spot if they clinch a win here.

CSK started their campaign with a big score against Kings XI Punjab which ultimately went to Punjab due to a brilliant 95 runs innings from Maxwell. They badly needed a morale booster win and they did it against Delhi. CSK pulled their biggest win so far in terms of runs when they defeated Delhi by 93 runs. That improved their net run rate by leaps and bounds.

Rajasthan Royals started their campaign with a win but similar to CSK, lost their second match to Kings XI Punjab. Kings XI seems to be a team to beat at this moment! But not to forget, IPL is full of crests and troughs. It is not going to be easy for any team in forthcoming matches.

Both CSK and RR had similar woes against Kings XI. After posting a decent total they lost to Kings XI, due to some loose bowling. They need to gather everything in terms of their bowling attack before they could think of a win here. A lot depends on Ashwin, Hilfenhaus, Mohit Sharma and Badree (for CSK) if he is to play today. Similarly Rajasthan Royals would depend on Faulkner, Tambe, Bhatia, Cooper and many more to name. Shane Watson has to pick the right combination to beat the best IPL team.

Here is a sensible tweet from CSK's coach Stephen Fleming - Good starts would really help in such big games.

Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL Match 9 Preview

IPL 2014 Live on Star Sports in India


After CSK's win over DD last night, there is another huge shuffle in the points table. CSK has climbed up to third position with two points and a net run rate of +2.082. Royal Challengers are current toppers of the points table followed by Kings XI Punjab. The second positioned team Kings XI Punjab will face the seventh positioned team Sunrisers Hyderabad today. Hyderabad is amongst the two winless teams so far in IPL 2014. Mumbai has played two and lost two meanwhile Hyderabad has played one and lost it. Watch Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match live streamed on Star Sports and Go Cricket website in India. Sony Six channel will provide live TV telecast in India.

Punjab's team started off as underdogs and now are the team to beat. Only two names would come to your mind in this IPL if we talk about Kings XI Punjab and they would be Miller and Maxwell. This double 'M' have hammered opposition bowlers and easily chased mammoth targets in last two games. Although none of the matches in IPL are walk in the park, but today Kings XI would start as favourites against Sunrisers. Here is a tweet from Kings XI Punjab official twitter handle that supports our claim of double 'M'


Glen Maxwell is at the primest of his forms with two sparkling innings of 95 and 89 in last two matches. Miller has provided him a great stand at the other end of the crease. If Maxwell goes on to score another half century, the team might win based on his previous records. Punjab has two more attractive players viz Sehwag and Johnson. They both looked rusty in last two matches but if these two get going with Maxwell and Miller, it would be almost impossible to beat Kings XI Punjab.

Suprising stat here would be the head to head record. Sunrisers Hyderabad has played two matches so far against Kings XI and won both. So certainly Kings XI would push hard in this match to open their winning account against the Sunrisers.

Shikhar Dhawan is a powerful batsman up the order for Sunrisers. Fans are eager to see his powerful hitting which has been missing from past few months. Another blaster in the team is David Warner. World knows what he can do when he is in golden touch. If Sunrisers can score big, they can content the opposition with a strong bowling line up consisting of Steyn, Ishant, Bhuvaneshwar, Amit Mishra and Karan Sharma. Not to forget they have a lovely allrounder named Darren Sammy in their line up as well. 

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils Preview - IPL Match 8

CSK vs DD Live on Star Sports, Go Cricket and Sony Six in India

As IPL moves forward each year, the most important and interesting part has to be the points table. Way every team moves up and down after the result of every match is really interesting. Before Chennai Super Kings face Delhi Daredevils in the only IPL match today, you can check the IPL points table and results so far by clicking here and here. Meanwhile as we keep you updated about the IPL 2014 live streaming and telecast information, Go Cricket and Star Sports will provide live streaming in India for today's match and Sony Six will provide live TV telecast.

It isn't too regular to see a team posting 200 plus runs and then losing it. The strongest team in the IPL history viz. Chennai Super Kings suffered that blow in their opening match against Kings XI Punjab. After a splendid start from McCullum and Dwayne Smith. They scored 123 runs in just 12.4 overs before McCullum departed on 67 off just 45 balls. Smith scored 66 off just 43 balls. Raina and Dhoni continued the hitting with 24 and 26 runs from 19 and 11 balls respectively. But they didn't receive an equal support from the bowling end. Magical innings from Maxwell (95 runs from 43 balls) and Miller (54 runs from 37 balls) snatched the match from CSK.

It would be interesting to see how Chennai's team can bounce back after that heart breaking loss. Although it isn't late at all for CSK as they have played just one match, still they need to pull up their socks at the earliest. By the way we all know, no one bounces back as well as the SuperKings do! Another funny tweet here for our readers. Sir Ravindra Jadeja follows the ball till the moon. We all know his fielding heroics. He may have something in store for his fans in today's match. You never know!
On the other hand we have Delhi Daredevils that looked too depleted now in the absence of Sehwags and Pietersens. Skipper Pietersen didn't play first two matches due to an injury. Although the clouds of uncertainties are still very dark that whether he would play today or not, the good news flew in later when he indicated that he has almost recovered from the injury.

Delhi lost its first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore but they bounced back well against Kolkata to clinch a win. JP Dumminy is in a phenomenal form. He is just below the orange cap holder Maxwell. Duminy has scored 119 runs from 2 innings with a strike rate of 143. He also has six sixes to his name so far and e finds himself amongst the top few six hitters this year in the IPL's seventh edition.

On paper we still fill Chennai is a stronger team, but as you saw how they lost even after posting 200 plus on board, it is too hard to pick a favourite. Rather its always hard to do this in any IPL face off. 

Happy Easter and enjoy today's IPL match.
