Amazon Prime Video to livestream cricket matches starting January 1st, New Zealand vs Bangladesh up first
Amazon Prime Video will begin live-streaming cricket matches from January 1st, 2022 with the upcoming New Zealand vs Bangladesh test series up first. This new development comes in the light of the fact that Amazon Prime Video has secured exclusive broadcasting rights from the New Zealand cricketing board across the following formats – ODIs, T20s and Tests. This comes after Amazon Prime Video partnered up with various smaller and regional streaming services to allow their content on its platform; thereby creating a win-win situation and greatly expanding the amount of content up for streaming on the service.
