England vs Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, brings together two sides in contrasting form. Hapless England are in must-win territory: lose to Australia and the defending champs cannot qualify for the semi-final. Even if England do beat Australia, they need to beat the Netherlands and Pakistan, and severely improve their net run rate, and hope results elsewhere go well for them - for example, if New Zealand beat Pakistan today, then England are out, regardless. England inserted Australia and bowled them out in the final over for 286, Woakes taking 4-54. Read on and we'll show you how to watch the England vs Australia live stream from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Australia began as badly as England, but have since won four games in a row. They will be without two key players as Mitchell Marsh has gone home to deal with a family matter, and Glen Maxwell concussed himself when he hitched a ride by clinging on to the back of a golf buggy and fell off. Maxwell has been one of this World Cup’s standout players. By far Australia’s most economical bowler, going for only 4.82 an over, he has also provided some devastating late-order hitting, not least when smashing 101 off 40 balls against the Netherlands, the quickest century in world cup history.

Australia have beaten England six times in World Cups to England’s three wins over their oldest foe. Even when England won the World Cup last time out, Australia beat them in the group stage. But when they met later in the semi-final England won by eight wickets with nearly 18 overs to spare. This is the kind of victory England need now. This day/night match starts at 2pm IST local time. Here's everything you need to get England vs Australia live streams and watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 from anywhere.

VPNs are totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices, and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view an Australian service, such as 9Now, you'd select 'Australia' from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action and watch the England vs Australia live stream.
