How to Set Up a VPN to Watch The Hundred
Before we get into the steps involved in setting up a VPN, let’s first understand why you might need a VPN to watch cricket. The streaming licenses obtained by platforms require them to limit the accessibility of streams to certain countries. Platforms use your IP address to determine your location. If you’re outside the region for which they have a license, your access will be blocked. A VPN is useful in this situation, as it changes your IP address and routes your internet activity through a server in a different country. By using a VPN, you can watch a stream restricted to the UK, for example, from any other country in the world! Follow the step-by-step guide below to learn how to easily set up a VPN.

One bowler can bowl a maximum of 20 deliveries in one match. Teams will have a powerplay of 25 balls each, which is more than six overs of powerplay in T20s.
