Doesn’t Fox have IPL rights here? Would this deal mean there is no streaming on Foxtel Go/Now or Kayo?

Well done Aussies on the ODI series win. Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell played sensationally well where they both scored centuries. But Mitchell Starc came to the rescue and hit 11 off just 3 balls! That was unbelievable from starc!

The Aussies did it without Steve Smith, who was ruled out after feeling groggy during the morning warm-up before the match. That means Smith actually missed the entire ODI series.
The 212-run stand between Carey and Maxwell is a new Australian record for the sixth wicket partnership, and the 3rd highest overall sixth wicket partnership in ODI history).
The tourists had a great start when Mitchell Starc took two wickets in the first two balls of the England innings, before Jonny Bairstow (112), Sam Billings (57) and Chris Woakes (53 not out) steadied the ship for the home side.
It was England’s first series defeat in 18 matches across all formats, and their first home ODI series defeat in five years.

Thanks. Seems odd that YuppTV has rights in Australia but not New Zealand, England or most of the other main cricket countries where they have IPL broadcasts.

Dressed top to toe in a hazmat suit and mask, the image of Smith and his Rajasthan Royals teammates Andrew Tye, and Englishmen Jofra Archer and Tom Curran, highlighted the unique obstacles they have had to overcome playing international cricket during the coronavirus pandemic.
The suit was necessary as part of biosecurity and quarantine requirements in the UAE - where there have been over 80,000 COVID-19 cases - but it was a small price to pay for Smith to claim his $2.4 million payday.
“A different way to arrive at this year’s IPL, but excited to be here,” Smith tweeted with a picture of himself in the hazmat suit.
A total of 12 other Aussies in that series flew on a chartered flight to the UAE for the IPL.
David Warner and Pat Cummins shared a similar image of the pair wearing hazmat suits on the plane over to the UAE.

Following his concussion scare in Manchester, Australian cricketer Steve Smith was reportedly seen vomiting after a regulation training session.
Smith did not feature in any of the one-day matches last week after he was struck in the head by a throw down from the assistant coach.
Although the 31-year-old passed several concussion tests, he was not named in the Australian XI for the three-match series.
On Friday, The Australian’s Peter Lalor revealed Smith had vomited after a training session which involved sprints and a net session.
“He was a little bit groggy and just wasn’t 100 per cent, so like any time you’re dealing with a head injury or anything like that you want to be ultraconservative and cautious,” Australian captain Aaron Finch said before Wednesday’s match.
Smith travelled to the United Arab Emirates on Thursday in preparation for the 2020 Indian Premier League, where he will represent and captain the Rajasthan Royals.
Cricket Australia’s head of sports medicine Alex Kountouris confirmed CA would work collaboratively with the IPL franchise ahead of his return.
“Steve is making progress and working with our medical team through the concussion protocols required to return to play,” Kountouris said, as reported by News Corp .
“Unfortunately, he was not ready to play the final ODI against England. We are working collaboratively with his IPL franchise on his return to play from here once he arrives in the UAE.
“The conservative management of Steve through this injury is consistent with our approach to put the player’s welfare first, as we did with him during the Ashes last year.
“That says a lot about the environment within our Australian teams. We are striving to create environments where players trust that our medical team will always put their welfare first and therefore speak openly with them, whether this is about concussion, other injuries or mental health.
“Cricket Australia has strict protocols when it comes to head impacts and concussions and, as we’ve seen over the last 12 months, we’re not willing to compromise on those.
“We have done a lot of research over the last few years to better understand head impacts and concussions specific to cricket, and that has helped up in how we manage our players.
“We place the welfare of the player before the game because we strongly believe that is what’s best for the player.”

Could you watch them on tv in Australia or stream them in Australia?
Not on Fox, so if it’s not geoblocked (which I presume it is), then you can watch the stream without a VPN.
Further enhances my belief that the don’t give a toss about women’s cricket… (they being Fox)

IPL will be live on Fox Cricket and streaming on Kayo this year. With Yupp TV also streaming the tournament in Australia, that means you have two platforms to choose from for each match.
