9800 Cricket — IPL, Test Series & T20 Betting for Malaysian Fans
The Cricket section on the 9800 platform covers betting markets for the world's most prestigious leagues and series — from the high-energy IPL to the nail-biting Test Series. All accessible in Bahasa Melayu, right from your phone.
Five Cricket Angles You Can Explore
Cricket offers more than just one way to bet — there are plenty of angles to explore depending on your knowledge and playing style.
Pick the team you think will win — the simplest format for cricket beginners. Perfect for fast-paced T20 matches.
Predict which player will stand out in a given match — requires knowledge of individual players and pitch conditions.
Predict whether a team's total runs in a session or match will go over or under a set value.
Make decisions based on live action — odds shift with every development in the match, giving you the chance to react quickly.
Predict the overall champion of the IPL, T20 World Cup, or a Test series before the tournament kicks off — bigger odds, higher payouts.
IPL and T20 — Why Malaysian Fans Can't Get Enough of the Season
IPL (Indian Premier League) is one of the most-watched cricket leagues in Southeast Asia, Malaysia included. With matches scheduled almost daily throughout the season from March to May, there's a fresh betting opportunity every night. Malaysian fans who already follow scores via news apps or live streams can now pair that passion with a cricket betting experience on the 9800 platform.
The T20 World Cup draws even wider attention thanks to its short, high-intensity format packed with unexpected moments. South Asian teams such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh are always a focal point for Malaysian cricket fans who share cultural ties with those communities. Odds for these high-profile matches are available on the 9800 platform well before the first ball is bowled.
Test Series appeals to a different crowd — patient viewers who appreciate long-form strategy. Fixtures like England vs Australia (The Ashes) or India vs South Africa offer more complex betting markets and greater potential returns for those who truly understand the game.
