Here's how to look at it Cricket World Cup free (almost):

While in the US the Women's T20 World Cup will be broadcast exclusively on Willow TV (which you'll need cable or a subscription for), in Australia everything will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video – so all you need to tune in is a Prime subscriber. Outside Australia, the ICC will broadcast the Women's T20 World Cup live and free on ICC.tv via the official tournament app in 116 territories across Afghanistan, continental Europe, the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia.

Don't currently live in Australia or one of these 116 territories? Don't worry, you can still stream like you would with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address, and is perhaps most popular because it's particularly useful in the age of streaming. No matter if you want to watch Friends Watching Netflix (which left the US version of the streamer back in 2019) or the Cricket World Cup on Amazon Prime in Australia can help you with a VPN.
