It all comes down to the MCG. Australia and India are one win apiece in their ODI series and, after a fractious few months of cricket, both will be desperate to take the victory. Don't miss a moment of the action - tune into an Australia vs India live stream from wherever in the world you are....
India certainly got the better of the Aussies in the Tests, recording their first ever series win on Australian soil. But the hosts bounced back in the first of the ODIs in Sydney as their bowling attack - and, in particular, young Jhye Richardson shone - to give them a 1-0 lead.
The Australia vs India international one day cricket three-match series takes place between January 12 and 18.
The series decider takes place at the MCG in Melbourne on Friday, January 18 at 1.20pm local time. That's 7.50am in India and 2.20am GMT.
Superstar Virat Kohli and the effervescent MS Dhoni helped India to level up the series in Adelaide. And now the series is beautifully poised as the teams head to Melbourne. Despite being the away side, the world's number one ranked one-day team have to be favourites - especially when you consider that Australia are still without suspended Steve Smith and David Warner.
It's looking like an unmissable game of international cricket, and you can watch Australia vs India wherever you are in the world with a live stream. Below we'll talk you through how you can do that on your TV or via a stream to your favourite devices.

Below we have details of where you can watch Australia vs India in those two countries, as well as in the UK, USA and Canada. But outside of those territories, you may find it harder to get coverage.
How to watch the cricket in Australia
The Australian broadcaster for the ODI battle between the Aussies and India is Fox Sports, a subscription service.
But - and it's a big one - the cricket.com.au website and app is showing the matches absolutely FREE of charge. So as long as you don't mind watching on your laptop, phone or tablet, then there's no need to go and pay Fox for a sub.

Don't forget that you can still watch the coverage, even if you're out of the UK. You just need to use a VPN as described above.
