The biggest cricketing event of the year — the ICC World Cup — started earlier today with a match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka. This time around, the World Cup is being hosted in two countries — Australia and New Zealand.
The event is 44 days long with 14 teams playing 49 matches during this period. The final is scheduled to be held on March 29th at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between the two best teams of the tournament.
In case, you will not be in front of a TV to watch the match live, worry not as you can live stream the match on your trusty Android device. Depending on your region though, you will have to subscribe to different packages or use different websites to view the live stream.
India
If you live in India — where Cricket is almost followed like a religion — you can watch the ICC 2015 Cricket World Cup by subscribing to a Live Pro package from starsports.com. The package costs only Rs. 120 ($2) and will allow you to use the Star Sports Cricket Scores app on your Android device to view the live stream. The subscription package will be valid throughout the Cricket World Cup, which makes it a pretty great deal.
However, if you are not too keen of paying, you can view a slightly delayed live stream of about 5 mins from the app or the website as well.

U.K.
England are among the favourites to win the World Cup this year, which is a big deal considering that cricket was first played in south England in the 16th century, but the country is yet to win a single world cup since its inception.
There is a high probability that you are already a subscriber of Sky Go if you live in England, which means that you can download the Sky Go app from the Google Play Store to view the live stream of the matches on your Android device.
In case you are not, you can subscribe to the pricey Sky Sports Day Pass (£6.99/$10.68) or Sky Sports Week Pass (£10.99/$16.79). You can then view the live stream not only on your Android device, but also on the Chromecast, Xbox and other devices.
