It would be too good if we have some common references to find out what tournament will be covered by what channels. After tensports is acquired by zee and then by sony along with espn, the completion is going so wild which drives cricket followers crazy before settling down with a live stream on mobile/laptop. In between, hotstar and few other OTT apps also covering some matches where there is no equivalent satellite coverage for example last India-Sri Lanka- Bangladesh tournament (I could not recall the name exactly, it was like Natas trophy or something).
I wonder where you people are finding information about your region broadcasters? Sometimes back I tried to watch the ten over tournament which happened in Dubai. I tried few channels then I totally forget the tournament itself due to lack of converges.
Yeah.. it can be very difficult to find out which channel is covering which tournament. And this is the situation in India, where we have multiple broadcasters available in the cable TV network:
1. Star Sports: the giant out there. They have more than a dozen channels in India, including at least 6 HD channels. They hold the right to broadcast ICC tournaments such as the ODI and T20 world cups. And more importantly, they hold the broadcast rights for the Indian Premier League as well. Their schedule can be found here:

5. Mobile Apps: Hotstar, Fancode.etc cover some of the tournaments live.
