Can the English really stop the formidable Southern Stars? Six-time champions Australia entered the 2022 tournament as overwhelming favorites once again and have been in absolutely dominating form, winning all seven of their group matches.

England started the tournament with consecutive losses, but have turned things around and destroyed an impressive South Africa team in the semi-finals. Can they produce a miracle and win the whole thing against all the odds?

The White Ferns' - this year's hosts - solitary ODI World Cup triumph came in 2000, but were unable to take advantage of their home strips in New Zealand. They crashed out in the group stages alongside the much-fancied India.

How to live stream Women's Cricket World Cup for FREE in Australia

Cricket fans Down Under can watch the World Cup for women on Fox Sports and via Foxtel (opens in new tab).

If you don't have Fox as part of a pay TV package, your best option is to sign up for the excellent Kayo Sports (opens in new tab) streaming service.

It features no lock-in contracts from $25 a month and gives you access to over 50 other sports including the NRL, soccer, F1, NFL... the list goes on! Handy if you don't want to go all-out on Fox.

Better still, Kayo offers a FREE two-week trial (opens in new tab)!

Outside Australia this month? You can take your cricket coverage abroad with you as well. For those wanting to watch home coverage of sports from overseas, getting the best VPN is the solution...

How to watch World Cup cricket outside your country

Below we've got you covered with your official broadcasting options for major cricket loving countries (and the US!), but if you're outside your country of residence - whether that's India, the UK or anywhere else - and try to start streaming the cricket via your local broadcaster, you'll soon discover that you can't, as it's location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course - specifically its terms and conditions.
