India vs South Africa live stream — how to watch the T20 World Cup game live

The India vs South Africa live stream will put the winner on the verge of the T20 World Cup semi-finals — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

India have started the tournament very strongly, beating Pakistan and the Netherlands in their first two matches. Virat Kohli has scored a total of 144 runs across those games, in which he also smashed a combined 6 sixes. South Africa had their opener against Zimbabwe abandoned but showed that they too can be ferocious with the bat against Bangladesh. Rilee Rossouw scored 109 in just 36 balls in his side’s 104-run win. Furthermore, Quinton de Kock will go into the game with a batting average of 110.00.

On the bowling front, South Africa’s Anrich Nortje earned figures of 4 wickets for 10 runs in that meeting with Bangladesh and has an economy rate of just 3.63 for the tournament. Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh has also looked highly dangerous, dismissing none other than Pakistan skipper Babar Azam with his first delivery in World Cup cricket. A moment the young bowler will never forget!

This has the potential to be a high-scoring, extremely exciting match. Who can take a giant step towards the semi-finals? Find out by watching the India vs South Africa live stream.

How to watch the India vs South Africa live stream in the UK

The India vs South Africa live stream will be shown live in the U.K. on Sky Sports and via the Sky Go app.  

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. If you don't have Sky at all, it'll cost you at least £41/month, depending on which other channels you choose.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.  

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £33.99. 

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the U.K., you can still follow the South India vs South Africa live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as ExpressVPN.
