If you're new to cricket betting, it might seem a little overwhelming at first. Unlike football with its three basic outcomes (win, draw, lose), cricket offers dozens of markets you can bet on simultaneously. But don't worry — once you grasp the basics, every cricket match becomes a far richer and more exciting experience, especially when you're playing at Matahari88.
The first thing you need to understand is the match format. T20 is the shortest format — 20 overs per side, with a match wrapping up in 3 to 4 hours. ODI is 50 overs and can take a full day. Test Match is the most traditional format, lasting up to 5 days. Each format has its own dynamics, and a betting strategy that works well in T20 may not translate to Test Match.
For beginners, T20 is the recommended starting point — the format is shorter and much easier to follow. The "match winner" market is the ideal place to begin. Once you're more comfortable, you can explore more specific markets like ball-by-ball or session betting at Matahari88.
Key Facts: India is the most popular cricket team among Asian bettors, including those in Malaysia. India matches — whether T20I, ODI, Test Matches, or IPL — consistently attract the highest betting volumes on Matahari88. This means odds for India matches are often more competitive, driven by a more active market.
In cricket, odds can shift dramatically depending on how the match is unfolding. That's what makes in-play cricket betting so exciting — and so challenging. At Matahari88, you need to be ready to make quick decisions when playing ball-by-ball.
Picture this: India are chasing 185 runs in a T20I against Pakistan. At the 10-over mark, India still need 95 runs with 8 wickets in hand. India's odds at that point might be 2.10. Then Virat Kohli hits three sixes in a row in one over — suddenly India's odds could drop to 1.65 while Pakistan's odds rise. The smart player at Matahari88 will spot these odds movements and decide whether to stick with their existing bet, Cash Out, or place a new one.
With ball-by-ball betting, the situation changes every 6 seconds. You need to stay fully locked in on the match and act fast. This isn't a market for casual bettors — it demands complete focus and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure. But when you get it right, the payoff is well worth it.
Good analysis is what separates a player who bets randomly from one who bets smart. Here are some key factors to look at before placing a bet at Matahari88:
Head-to-Head Record: How often has Team A beaten Team B in the same format? In cricket, some teams hold a remarkably strong psychological edge over certain opponents — and that head-to-head record can influence match outcomes more than you might expect.
Pitch & Weather Conditions: A dry, cracked pitch favours spin bowlers — and that can completely shift the dynamics of an ODI or Test match. Rain can cancel or shorten a game, which affects every type of market. At Matahari88, pitch and weather information is displayed for all major matches.
Team Line-up & Injuries: The absence of one key player — especially the captain or a top-order batter — can shift the odds significantly. Always check the latest team news before the match begins. Matahari88 displays the current squad ahead of every match to help bettors make more informed decisions.
Latest Stats: Players in good form (last 5 matches) are often the safer pick for Top Batsman markets compared to those whose strong record is from long ago. Cricket is a sport heavily driven by confidence and current momentum.
Every year between April and May, the platform Matahari88 becomes extremely active with cricket betting — and the reason is the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL is the most-watched T20 cricket league in the world, featuring the best players from every nation including South Asian stars who are idols to many cricket fans in Malaysia.
During the IPL season, there's a match nearly every night — sometimes two in a single day. That means non-stop betting opportunities for close to two full months. For active players at Matahari88, IPL is the season where cumulative winnings can grow substantially if you play with discipline and solid analysis.
A specific tip for IPL at Matahari88: The "in-game swing" market — switching your bet mid-match as the situation shifts — is hugely popular and can be very profitable during IPL. IPL teams are known for dramatic comebacks, and if you know a team's record when chasing, you can capitalise on elevated odds at critical moments.
Besides the IPL, Matahari88 also offers special promotions during major tournaments such as the ICC World Cup and The Ashes — including enhanced odds (odds boost), betting cashback and chances to win exclusive prizes. Check the Promotions us for the latest updates on cricket-related offers.
Cricket is a sport that rewards knowledge — the more you understand the teams, players, formats, and conditions, the better your betting experience will be. Take the time to keep learning before you increase your stakes. There is no rush.
Matahari88 always reminds all players to set a daily betting limit before starting a session. In cricket — especially during the IPL when there is a match every night — it is easy to lose track of how much you have wagered over the week. Use the responsible gaming tools available in your Matahari88 account — deposit limits, betting limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — to ensure betting stays a fun form of entertainment.
