Amazon Prime Video has the exclusive rights to stream the cricket matches in India which are happening in New Zealand territory. India, for which the ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign came to an end after taking an embarrassing defeat against England, is bound to start a new short tour of New Zealand. There will be 3 T2o matches and 3 ODIs between November 18 to November 30. All of these matches will be exclusively streamed by Prime Video. Both New Zealand and India have lost semi-final matches and would want to wash away the pain by winning the upcoming series in a good manner. So while it is bound to be an exciting watch for the fans of the game, Amazon Prime Video has gone a step ahead to ensure that users on the platform get unmatched cricketing coverage during the series.
