Big Bash live streaming Hotstar: Which OTT platform for BBL live streaming free in India?

The 12th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) is up and running, with four teams out of eight having already begun with their respective campaigns in the opening two days of the league.

The ongoing season got of to an absolute humdinger of a beginning, with the Sydney Thunder defeating the Melbourne Stars in the tournament opener by 1 wicket, with the victory arriving on the final delivery of the match.

Thunder’s Gurinder Sandhu was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ for his brilliant allround show. While he returned with bowling figures of 4-0-23-2 during the Stars’ innings, his match-winning contribution of 20* (16) at no.9 in the batting order helped his side get over the line in the low-scoring thriller.

During the second match on Wednesday, a Matthew Short (84 off 53) master class ensured a one-sided, 51-run victory for the Adelaide Strikers against previous season runners-up Sydney Sixers.

Opting to bat first on a beautiful Adelaide Oval wicket for batting, the Strikers posted 184/6 on the board, with useful contributions off the bat of Chris Lynn (41) and Adam Hose (40) as well, alongside Short.

In reply, courtesy of impressive bowling spells from Henry Thornton (4-0-20-4) and Rashid Khan (4-0-21-3), the Strikers restricted Sixers to a paltry 133/7 in their 20 Overs.

Fans across India have been wondering as to why the ‘Hotstar’ app is not broadcasting the live telecast of the BBL 2022-23 matches. For those unaware, the Sony Sports Network has the rights to broadcast the ongoing season of the league, and majority of the matches are live telecast on Sony Sports 2 and Sony Sports 2 HD.

As far as the online users are concerned, the same is being live streamed on the Sony LIV app and website, after payment of a subscription fee.

It is worth of a mention that one cannot officially watch the BBL 2022-23 matches on any other app or OTT platform for free or otherwise.

However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid.
