Why Is Cricket Great for Betting?
Cricket offers hundreds of betting opportunities within a single match — from the outcome of each over to who scores a century first. At meta888, odds are updated in real time so you can bet while the action is unfolding on the field.
Unlike seasonal sports, international cricket runs all year round — spanning Test series, One Day Internationals (ODI), and T20 fixtures. That means there's always a match to bet on whenever you're online.
All cricket betting markets on meta888 are clearly displayed on smartphone screens. Comfortably sized bet buttons, a compact scoreboard, and smooth navigation between matches make the whole experience straightforward from your phone.
Seasonal Promotions for Cricket Fans
During the IPL season (April–May) and the ICC World Cup, meta888 regularly rolls out cricket-specific promotions — including bonus deposits and rebates on selected matches. Similar offers also appear during major Malaysian festivities like Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year, when the platform brings festive-themed promotions to the table.
Check the promotions section in your account after logging in to see all currently active offers. Promotions usually run for a limited period, so it's worth checking early so you don't miss out.

Odds in cricket betting represent the payout ratio for each winning bet. For example, if you place RM 50 on India to win an ODI match at odds of 1.85 and India wins, you will receive a return of RM 92.50 (RM 50 × 1.85). Odds reflect the estimated probability of a team winning, factoring in elements such as recent form, key players, and pitch conditions.
In the fast-paced T20 format, odds can shift rapidly depending on the current state of play. Players using live betting need to act quickly to lock in the best odds before they update again.
| Bet Types | Brief Description | Suitable Format |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick the team you think will win | T20, ODI, Test |
| Total Runs (Over/Under) | Predict whether the total will be over or under a set value | T20, ODI |
| Century Scorer | The player who reaches 100 runs first | ODI, Test |
| Series Winner | The team that wins the most matches | A series of two or more matches |
Match Schedule & How to Follow Live
Major Tournaments Available for Betting
Meta888 offers betting on matches from the world's most popular cricket tournaments. The Indian Premier League (IPL) draws the most interest from Malaysian players, featuring star players from around the globe in high-octane T20 action. Every IPL season (typically April to May) brings a surge in betting activity on our platform.
Beyond the IPL, the ICC Cricket World Cup — held every four years — draws in a large number of casual cricket fans who don't typically bet on a regular basis. Matches featuring major cricketing nations like India, Australia, England, and Pakistan tend to be the most popular betting fixtures during the tournament.
For Test and ODI series between top teams, meta888 also offers a full range of betting markets. Players can check the latest match schedules directly in their account and place pre-match bets well ahead of the first ball.
