Cricket is one of the most followed sports among betting fans in Malaysia. At 9asia, we offer the most comprehensive cricket markets — from the IPL to the T20 World Cup — with real-time odds updates and full Bahasa Malaysia support.
Why Cricket?
Many people may not realise just how popular cricket is within the Malaysian community, especially during IPL season or the T20 World Cup. Mamak shops buzz with live broadcasts, WhatsApp groups light up with predictions, and the passion of the fans rivals that of football supporters. Cricket is more than a sport here — it has become a genuine part of Malaysian viewing culture.
At 9asia, we understand that Malaysian cricket fans have specific needs. They want precise markets — not just a simple win or lose. They want to bet on top batsmen, runs in a single over, whether the toss winner will choose to bat or bowl, and plenty more. All of this is available on the 9asia platform.
With over 5,000 cricket matches listed every year — covering the IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, The Ashes, PSL, and much more — 9asia is the one-stop destination for cricket fans in Malaysia who want to make every match more exciting with smart, responsible betting.

Match Format
The most popular format among betting fans. Each team faces just 20 overs, making the game explosive, high-scoring, and easier to read in the short term. IPL, T20 World Cup, Big Bash League — all played in T20 format.
Each team faces 50 overs. The ODI format strikes a balance between strategy and aggression — giving the game more time for momentum shifts. The ICC Cricket World Cup is the premier ODI event and regularly draws peak betting activity on 9asia every four years.
The oldest and most respected format in cricket. Played over five days, Test Cricket tests strategy, physical endurance, and tactical intelligence at the highest level. The Ashes between England and Australia is the most iconic Test series — with odds that shift according to pitch conditions and weather.
Betting Markets
One of 9asia's biggest advantages over other platforms is the depth of cricket markets on offer. It's not just about picking a winner — we provide 50+ market types for every IPL or major T20 match. Here's a quick guide to the most popular markets among Malaysian players:
The most fundamental market — pick which team wins the match. Available with and without unforeseen events.
Predict which team wins the toss. It may seem straightforward, but in cricket the toss often has a real bearing on the final result — especially in Test Matches.
Pick the player who will score the most runs or take the most wickets in a match. Popular during the IPL because of the concentration of big-name stars within a single team.
Predict whether the total runs in the full match or a specific innings will go Over or Under a set value. Extremely popular for T20 matches.
Predict the total runs scored in the first over of a match. This market is a popular choice for betting during the opening stages of play.
Predict how the first batter will be dismissed — caught, bowled, LBW, run out, and more. A niche market, but one that offers higher odds value.
Place your bets well before the tournament begins to lock in better odds. Pick your IPL or T20 World Cup champion from the very start of the season.
Another market growing in popularity at 9asia is innings runs handicap — similar to a handicap in football but based on runs. For example, India is given -20 runs against Pakistan. This levels the odds when two teams are mismatched in strength, offering better value for sharp bettors.

A biennial international cricket tournament bringing together the world's top 20 nations. The T20 World Cup ranks among the highest-wagered sporting events on 9asia, especially when India or Pakistan take the field.
The most iconic Test cricket series in the world, played every two years. Spanning five matches, The Ashes offers long-term betting opportunities and unique markets not found in any other format.
Pakistan's fast-growing T20 league, featuring world-class international players. The PSL runs early in the year and offers competitive odds at 9asia, with 30+ matches every season.
The most prestigious quadrennial event in ODI cricket. Every edition draws hundreds of millions of fans — and at 9asia, the Tournament Winner market opens well before the first match is even played.
A regional tournament bringing together India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and more. The Asia Cup is one of the most anticipated events for Asian cricket fans on 9asia, thanks to the electrifying India-Pakistan clashes it always delivers.
Smart Betting Guide
In cricket, the pitch plays a huge role. A damp surface after rain tends to assist bowlers and produce more early wickets, while a dry, flat pitch favours batters and typically yields high run totals. Check the weather forecast and pitch report before making your decisions at 9asia.
Statistics show that teams winning the toss and choosing to bat first in evening T20 matches have an advantage due to the dew factor — the ball becomes slicker and harder for bowlers to control in the second innings. On certain grounds, toss winners carry a win rate of over 60%.
Typically, the Playing XI is announced around an hour before the match. An injury or the absence of a key player can completely shift the odds for a team. Wait for the official announcement before placing large bets at 9asia, especially on Top Batsman or Top Bowler markets.
India and Pakistan share an intensely emotional rivalry — but statistically, India has dominated ICC tournament meetings for several decades. Certain teams also carry strong records at specific venues. Head-to-head data is an essential tool before placing your bets at 9asia.
Betting in-play at 9asia can offer great value, but it demands quick reactions. Odds shift with every ball. Set your limits before the match starts, and don't chase big bets just because the momentum feels right. Discipline is everything.
For T20 cricket fans new to betting, the over/under total runs market is the most straightforward option. You don't need to predict the winner — just decide whether the total runs will go above or below a set value. It keeps things simple while still offering fair odds at 9asia.
