The Men’s T20 World Cup continues today with the biggest game of the tournament so far, as India take on Pakistan in Colombo in Group A.

At times over the past few weeks, it was believed the match wouldn’t take place due to ongoing tensions between the two countries. But it’s game on, and this clash could decide who finishes top of the group.

Pakistan have won the toss and opted to bowl first as they look to bowl India out cheaply. India will hope the returning Abhishek Sharma can get them off to a flyer in the powerplay.

There are plenty of ways to stream India vs Pakistan around the globe, but very few are free. Luckily, we’ve found a simple way you can catch all the action live and free anywhere in the world using a VPN...
