It will be difficult for the 2023 Cricket World Cup to top the match between India and Pakistan, but the host's next game could be a contender.

All eyes will be on Dharamshala this weekend as India take on New Zealand. If you're interested in watching India vs. New Zealand for free from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is India vs. New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup?

India and New Zealand will meet at 9:30 a.m. BST on Oct. 22 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, India.

How to watch India vs. New Zealand for free

There are many ways to watch the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, but the best free streaming platform is 9Now.

This Australian streaming service is offering free coverage of every Australia game, plus the tournament’s biggest matchups. This streaming schedule includes the fixture between India and New Zealand.

9Now is geo-restricted to Australia, but anyone can unblock this free streaming service with a VPN. These tools can hide your IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in Australia, meaning you can access 9Now from anywhere in the world.

Unblock 9Now by following these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Australia

  4. Sign up for 9Now

  5. Stream India vs. New Zealand for free

The bad news is that the best VPNs for streaming are not free. However, the best VPNs do tend to offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can unblock 9Now without committing with your cash. This isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch key fixtures from the ICC Cricket World Cup without actually spending anything.

What is the best VPN for 9Now?

There are many VPNs that can reliably unblock free streaming sites, but ExpressVPN leads the way. ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking services like 9Now, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 94 countries including Australia

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling
