England vs Australia 1st T20I 2024 live stream: How to watch cricket from Southampton online and from anywhere

Whether you’re cricket mad or have had your interest piqued by the recent T20 World Cup, it’s always worth tuning into England vs Australia. This may not be an Ashes year, but you know neither side is going to be taking it easy over the course of the eight white ball games that start in Southampton with the first of a trio of T20I games. Follow our guide below for where to watch England vs Australia 1st T20I live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

England have once again pressed the reset button on their white ball team. Since winning both ODI and T20 World Cups, things have gone rapidly downhill and coach Matthew Mott has paid the price with his job. Brendon ‘Bazball’ McCullum will take control in January, giving a squad of fresh faces the chance to impress the new boss starting at the Utilita Bowl.

Australia will have no inclination whatsoever to let the youngsters settle. You can expect them to be as ruthless as they were in Scotland last week when Travis Head contributed 80 off 25 balls to a record breaking powerplay — the 113 off six overs that they thumped should be enough to strike the fear into any bowling attack across the world. Although the experienced heads of Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid will do their best to stop the Aussies having everything their own way.

Here’s how to watch every ball of the England vs Australia 1st T20I online and watch cricket live streams from anywhere.
