The broadcaster has been showing daily highlights throughout the competition, which have been produced by Sunset+Vine. For the final, it will take Sky’s coverage, which will begin at 7.30am on Sunday 19 November before the start of the game at 8.30am - which will be the world feed from Star Sports.
Sky Sports has already announced that it will be providing Hindi commentary, in addition to its English broadcasts, for all three remaining matches.

sorted byAus struggled to get past SAfrica. All things point a straightforward Indian victory.
This tournament was set up to ensure the big teams still went through to the SFs even if they lost a 3 or 4 games.. England failed to read that memo!
And 6 weeks of games to just satisfy broadcaster/commercial needs.
Way too long. Poor crowds for the non-Indian matches. Feels more like a home Indian series rather than ICC World tournament. (edited)
So just relied on some unofficial 15-20 min highlights on YouTube. Not the best editing but needs must!
Not issuing non-Indian fans visa to enter the country - this giving more, one sided home support was more important than having bumper crowds. I don't think empty stadia has been a good look during the most prestigious ICC tournament.
Seems to have all been brushed under the carpet (edited)
