Warm-up Matches To Stream On Disney+ Hotstar: T20 World Cup

As another edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup approaches, the T20 extravaganza takes centre stage. All warm-up matches are being created and will be made available to them for the first time in the history of ICC events. All warm-up matches for the top eight teams, as well as the main event matchups, will be exclusively live streamed on Disney+ Hotstar beginning October 17th. These warm-up matches promise to be a "fight before the battle," a build-up for the fans, with action-packed cricket and build-up to the Super 12 stage.

The warm-up fixtures amongst the top 8 teams will be played over 2 days, i.e. 18th and 20th October. Cricket fans can enjoy the non-India warm-up matches exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar and Team India's warm-up games against England and Australia on October 18th at 7.30 PM IST and October 20th at 3:30 PM IST respectively will be available on Disney+ Hotstar and Star Sports Network. 

“ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is the pinnacle of international T20 cricket and in an industry first we will exclusively stream all the warm-up matches of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on our platform. In line with our strategy, Disney+ Hotstar continues to strengthen itself by constantly offering newer engagement opportunities to fulfil the growing appetite of the sports fanatics in India,” said Sunil Rayan, President and Head, Disney+ Hotstar India. 

Post-warm-up matches, India will begin their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai in a Super12 Group 2 stage clash on October 24th.
