After a less than assured passage through to the Super 8s, England take on in-form hosts the West Indies in this mouth-watering T20 World Cup clash in St. Lucia.
England sneaked into the tournament’s second phase on net run-rate, and skipper Jos Buttler knows his side will need to improve if they’re to have any chance of defending their title.
They now face a West Indies side that are so far unbeaten in this tournament and will have the added advantage of vociferous home support behind them.
The West Indies take on England at The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St. Lucia, on Monday, June 19. Play is set to start at 8:30 p.m. ET, 5:30 p.m. PT. That makes it a 1:30 a.m. BST start in the UK and a 6 a.m. IST start in India on Tuesday morning. The game meanwhile gets underway at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday for viewers in Australia.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch the final match of the series, no matter where you are in the world.

How to watch online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view this T20i locally, you may need a different way to watch this match — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Australia, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. Be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming West Indies vs. England using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming this T20i match live may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone), so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We recommend Brave.
