Watch South Africa vs Australia and England vs Sri Lanka
Our cricket order is Willow first, Kayo second and NOW Sports third. Kayo Standard costs A$29.99/month; NOW is the higher-cost alternative for Sky coverage. Check your chosen service’s schedule before subscribing.
Watch South Africa vs Australia live through Kayo in Australia or, as our third choice, NOW Sports in the UK. The ODIs start at 10:00 SAST on 24 and 27 September, then 13:30 on 30 September. On NOW, choose Sky Sports Cricket for the first and third games and Sky Sports Mix for the second.
NOW Sports Day or Month membership includes both channels. Sign in, open the live channel and allow half an hour for the build-up. Kayo Standard or Premium is the Australian alternative; its SmartDNS support remains unconfirmed.
England vs Sri Lanka’s ODIs are on NOW’s Sky Sports Cricket: 22 and 24 September at 13:30 SAST, then 27 September at 11:30. The T20 series has finished.
The Proteas–Australia Tests run 9–13, 18–22 and 27–31 October, with Australian coverage confirmed on Kayo. The Cape Town first-ball time still has conflicting official listings. Do not assume the ODI Sky listings confirm the Tests too.
Watch cricket on Willow
Willow is built around cricket, with live matches, replays and a schedule that makes it easy to see what’s coming up. It’s a useful place to start when you follow several international teams and T20 tournaments.
First, sign up for a free trial of SmartDNS Proxy and follow the simple setup procedure. Then create your Willow account and choose a monthly or annual plan. Keep your email handy: Willow sends a login code to your inbox.
NOW Sports: a higher-cost alternative
NOW gives you the Sky Sports Cricket channel without a satellite setup, but its broader sports package is an expensive choice if you only want cricket. Check Willow’s coverage first. To use NOW, sign up for a free trial of SmartDNS Proxy and follow the simple setup procedure. Then sign up for Sports, open the channel and select the live match.
For a one-off T20, the day pass is handy. For a five-day Test or a run of matches, compare the month plan. A day pass starts immediately and lasts 24 hours.
