Thirty8 Cricket — Bet on IPL, T20 & Asia Cup
This page is your one-stop hub for everything cricket betting on thirty8 — from action-packed IPL matches to international T20s and the Asia Cup that Malaysian users love. Here you can learn about market types, how to bet during a live match, and how to deposit in Malaysian Ringgit directly from this page.
Cricket Is No Longer an Unfamiliar Sport to Malaysian Bettors
The large Indian and Sri Lankan communities in Malaysia have made cricket an increasingly followed sport — especially during IPL season, which typically runs from April to May. T20 matches that fall on Malaysian evenings are a natural fit for users who want to catch the action after work on their smartphones.
The thirty8 platform offers cricket markets covering IPL, international T20s, ODIs, and Asia Cup matches. Malaysian users can track odds updated every over, place bets while a match is in progress, and view brief match stats to help inform their betting decisions — all from a mobile device, no matter where they are.
IPL — The Most Active Season
The Indian Premier League is the most popular cricket competition for betting in Asia, including Malaysia. With 10 teams competing in a fast-paced T20 format, every IPL match generates dozens of active markets — from match winner and runs per over to niche markets like who hits the first six. During the IPL season, with matches on nearly every night, active users have consistent opportunities to bet.
Asia Cup & T20 World Cup — The Regional Showdown
The Asia Cup brings together Asia's strongest teams — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan — in a competition that regularly produces high-stakes matches. For Malaysian users who follow the India vs Pakistan rivalry, every fixture between these two sides is among the most heavily bet on the platform. The T20 World Cup, held every two years, opens up even more markets with participants from around the globe.

Five Dimensions of Cricket Betting You Need to Understand
Every angle of cricket betting has its own approach and strategy.
Betting on the Match Winner
The most straightforward market in cricket betting — just pick the team you believe will win the match. In T20 and IPL formats, momentum can shift quickly depending on batting or bowling form. Match winner odds are available both before and during the match, updating every over to reflect live conditions on the field. For beginners, this is the clearest starting point before exploring more specific markets.
Score & Cumulative Runs Markets
Total runs markets let you bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be higher or lower than a set line. For example, the platform might set the line at 160 runs for a T20 innings — you choose "over" or "under". This market suits users who follow team statistics and understand the batting lineup strength of each team across different formats.
Top Scorer & Top Wicket-Taker
Individual player markets are among the most popular in the IPL — you can bet on who will be the top run-scorer in a match, or who will take the most wickets. These markets require knowledge of current player form, pitch conditions, and bowling schedules. For users who closely follow specific player performances, they offer attractive odds compared to standard match-winner markets.
Live Odds Throughout Every Over
In-play cricket betting is among the most dynamic in the sports betting industry. Every over can bring significant odds shifts — a fallen wicket, a boundary, or a rising run rate can change the betting landscape within seconds. Users need a stable internet connection and quick decision-making. At thirty8, cricket in-play markets are available during active matches and updated every few balls.
Bet Early, Get Better Odds
Beyond match-by-match betting, users can also bet on overall tournament winners such as the IPL, T20 World Cup, or Asia Cup. These markets open early before the tournament begins and offer higher odds than single-match betting. The risk is greater since results only become clear weeks or months later, but the potential returns are higher too. This suits users who follow their favourite teams closely throughout the entire tournament season.

Two Core Concepts That Help You Make Better Decisions
- Run Rate
-
Run rate is the average number of runs a batting team scores per over. It is calculated by dividing total runs by overs played. For example, if a team has scored 80 runs in 10 overs, their run rate is 8.0. A high run rate indicates a strong position, while a low run rate late in an innings adds pressure. Users who understand run rate during in-play betting can make more informed decisions about how a match is unfolding.
Quick example: Team A needs 36 runs off the last 3 overs — the required run rate is 12.0, which calls for an aggressive batting strategy.
- Required Run Rate
-
The required run rate is the scoring rate the second batting team needs to win the match. It is calculated based on the target runs and the overs remaining. When the required run rate climbs beyond 12–14 per over, the chasing team's chances are generally considered slim in most situations. In-play match winner markets are heavily influenced by required run rate movements — every big boundary brings it down, and the batting team's odds shift accordingly.
Simple example: a target of 180 runs in 20 overs means a required run rate of 9.0 — achievable, but it demands consistent batting throughout.

What Many Cricket Bettors Overlook
Cricket markets have settlement rules that differ from other sports. For instance, if a match is suspended or abandoned after a certain number of overs, most platforms will settle bets using the Duckworth-Lewis method or declare them void depending on how many overs were completed. Understanding these rules before placing a bet is important — especially during India's monsoon season when weather interruptions are common.
One more thing worth noting: in-play markets will be temporarily suspended during critical events such as DRS reviews, player injuries, or field interruptions. This is normal — the system will reopen markets once the situation is resolved. Check the applicable betting terms for full details on market settlement in situations like this.
