Cricket is one of the most heavily bet-on sports in Asia, and Malaysian players' interest in cricket betting is growing rapidly. At mm98, we provide the most comprehensive cricket markets covering the IPL, ICC World Cup, International T20, and much more — with live betting and competitive odds at all times.
Cricket may not be Malaysia's top spectator sport, but when it comes to online betting, it has been the fastest-growing sport over the past two to three years. The main reason is straightforward: cricket — especially T20 and IPL — offers fast-paced action, outcomes that can shift minute by minute, and a far wider range of betting markets than most other sports.
Malaysian players living near Indian communities, or those who regularly watch the IPL and Cricket World Cup on Astro, have long been familiar with the dynamics of the game. When that sporting knowledge is paired with a platform offering wide-ranging markets like mm98, it opens up genuinely exciting opportunities to make betting decisions grounded in real insight about teams, players, and pitch conditions.
At mm98, we make sure the cricket betting experience is as straightforward and comprehensive as possible for Malaysian players. From picking a simple match winner to more technical markets like runs in a specific over or top run-scorer in an innings — it's all available on one platform, accessible from your phone or computer anytime.
The T20 format makes cricket more dramatic and fast-paced — a single over can completely change the game. The IPL brings together the best players in the world in one league, making every match fiercely competitive and hard to call, yet rich with valuable betting opportunities.
Mm98 covers the IPL, ICC Men's T20 World Cup, ICC Men's Cricket World Cup (ODI), The Ashes, Asia Cup, PSL, Big Bash League, and a wide range of international series. Match schedules are updated daily on our platform.
Markets open up to 48 hours before the match starts — lock in the best odds early
Odds are estimates and subject to change. Log in to mm98 for the latest odds and full markets.
Each format has its own dynamics — and the right betting strategy differs accordingly
The most dramatic format and the best suited for in-play betting at mm98. Every over can completely turn the game around — a 40-run lead can vanish within 3 overs. The IPL, ICC Men's T20 World Cup, and Big Bash League all use this format. The most active markets: match winner, runs in a specific over, first six scorer, and man of the match.
ODI (One Day International) gives teams more time to build a strategy and allows players to bet in a more considered way. This format is used in the ICC Cricket World Cup. mm98 offers additional markets such as total wickets in the Powerplay (first 6 overs), top scorer per innings, and whether the first team will surpass 300 runs.
Test cricket is the oldest and most complex format of the game, lasting up to 5 days with the genuine possibility of a draw. Pitch conditions, weather, and mental resilience all play a significant role. Players with a deep understanding of cricket often find that Test markets offer better betting value on mm98 compared to the shorter formats.
Over 50 markets per match — from the most straightforward to the most technical
Cricket live betting is one of the most exciting experiences mm98 has to offer. Odds shift with every ball — after a wicket falls, after a six is hit, or when clouds start rolling in. Players who can read the match situation quickly and act at the right moment have a significant edge in live betting.
Live markets available at mm98 include: current match winner (with real-time updated odds), next dismissal method, runs in the next over, and six in the next ball of the current over. All live markets are displayed in real time with clear odds animations to help you make faster decisions.
With 14 runs needed off 15 balls, CSK Win odds at mm98 might sit around 1.35 while MI Win could be at 3.20. Players who believe MI can stage a comeback may see value there. That is the essence of cricket live betting.

If you're new to cricket betting, one of the first things to get your head around is that cricket has its own language unlike any other sport. Terms like "Powerplay," "Death Over," "DLS Method," "Net Run Rate," and "Follow-On" aren't just jargon — they're concepts that directly shape how odds are set and how a match unfolds.
At mm98, we don't expect you to be a cricket expert before you start betting. But players who take a little time to understand the basics will quickly discover just how rich and well-structured cricket markets really are. For example, once you know that a pitch in Chennai tends to favour spin bowlers, you can start looking for value in markets like "wickets taken by spin bowlers" or "top wicket-taker" — markets that may carry higher odds than they should if they haven't been fully priced in yet.
Another aspect that draws cricket bettors to mm98 is the depth of IPL markets on offer. IPL is more than just a cricket league — it's a world-class entertainment spectacle that brings together international cricket stars and promising young Indian players in fiercely competitive action. Each IPL franchise has its own strengths, weaknesses, and identifiable playing style, along with a track record at specific venues that can be analysed to find value betting opportunities.
For Malaysian players just starting out with cricket betting on mm98, the most practical advice is to begin with straightforward markets — match winner and over/under total runs — while watching the game live. Over time, as you get a feel for match patterns, how teams respond under pressure, and how weather affects play, the more technical markets will start offering greater value for you to capitalise on.
Weeks 1–2: Focus on T20 match-winner markets. Month 1: Add over/under run markets. Months 2–3: Start analysing player markets and pitch conditions. Month 4+: Incorporate live betting strategies and micro markets to exploit value opportunities.
