Dont think Sony Zee or Disney will interfere in this as it might affect them in long run when they try and put certain events as exclusive to OTT.

The pay TV broadcasters will sit and watch what will happen

They are not neutral. They oppose OTT regulations. Sooner or later regulations will come for OTT and rights issue will also be looked after. It is all about time and we all know how much time govt things can take.
Posting link for reference regarding their stand.

No mention of India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI in tomorrow's EPG schedule of DD Sports / DD Sports 1.0, also Amazon Prime Video ads again stating that 2nd ODI Live and Exclusive only on their OTT platform.

Has Amazon been successful in getting a stay on order passed 2 days back by TDSAT which allowed streaming of the series on DD Sports across all DTH / Cable TV Platforms too?

If they have got a stay it is good for Indian sports broadcasting industry as a whole will also stop DD Sports broadcasting cricket matches for free

In my opinion it should be made available across all platforms and DD should share 75% of ad revenue with Amazon. Total blackout on TV is not the right thing, in anycase Amazon would not be earning anything if there is total blackout on TV despite spending high amount on acquiring TV rights.... OTT audience base is quite limited as compared to Total Number of People who prefer watching content on TV bcoz of various reasons, if India Cricket matches remain exclusive to OTT still most won't switch to OTT for watching the same
