5 ways to watch IND vs PAK Live Streaming for free in India
1. Many Jio, Airtel, or Vi prepaid/postpaid mobile plans include free access to JioHotstar (or Disney+ Hotstar) premium for cricket events like the T20 World Cup. Check your telecom app or recharge options—recharge with eligible plans (often ₹200–500 range) to unlock free streaming on the JioHotstar app/website. This is one of the most common “free” ways for millions in India during big matches.
2. JioHotstar free trial or promotional access – If you’re a new user, sign up for a JioHotstar subscription trial or look for limited-time free access promotions tied to the T20 World Cup. The platform streams all matches live, including IND vs PAK on mobile, desktop, or smart TV. Plans start low (₹79/month in some cases), but watch for event-specific free weekends or trials.
3. ICC.tv with a VPN workaround: ICC.tv offers free live streaming of the entire T20 World Cup 2026 in over 100 territories (excluding India and other major broadcasters’ regions). Use a reliable VPN to connect to a server in a supported free country (e.g., from the ICC’s list like certain European, African, or Asian nations).
