How to watch India vs Australia T20 match online

Subscribe to Disney Plus Hotstar’s plans. The latter is available in multiple tiers, starting with Mobile, which supports just one smartphone screen at a time. This is followed by Disney Plus Hotstar Super, which supports two screens including laptops and TVs. The top-tier plan is Disney Plus Hotstar Premium, which offers 4K content to up to four screens at a time. Here’s a quick look at their prices:

• Rs 149 – Disney Plus Hotstar Mobile plan for 3 months
• Rs 499 – Disney Plus Hotstar Mobile plan for 12 months
• Rs 899 – Disney Plus Hotstar Super plan for 12 months
• Rs 1499 – Disney Plus Hotstar Premium plan for 12 months

In order to watch India vs Australia T20I series, the most basic plan of Rs 149 should be enough as the series will last only for three matches across six days. However, the catch here is that the aforementioned plan will only deliver a video output of 720p and an above-average sound quality. Therefore, if you wish to watch in a higher resolution, we would recommend getting the Super plan worth Rs 899. With this plan, you could possibly also watch the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to go underway in October.
