Y20 Cricket — T20, ODI & World Cricket Match Betting for Malaysian Fans
On this page, you'll find everything you need to know about cricket betting on y20 — from fast-paced T20 formats and international match markets to following live matches on your smartphone. This content is put together specifically for Malaysian cricket fans.
Cricket Betting on y20 — An Overview
T20, ODI and Test available
Odds updated every over
IPL, BBL, CPL and more
Bet from anywhere
Cricket is one of the most followed sports in Asia, and Malaysian fans — particularly from the Indian community and international sports enthusiasts — follow it passionately. Through y20, Malaysian users can access comprehensive cricket betting markets covering matches from the IPL, T20 World Cup, international test series, and domestic leagues from around the world.
Beyond standard betting, y20 also offers in-play markets that let you make decisions as the cricket match unfolds — including who will score the next run, who will take a wicket in a given over, or how many runs will be scored in an innings.
Two Cricket Concepts to Understand Before You Bet
Run Rate (Runs per Over)
- What is run rate?
- Run rate refers to the average number of runs a team scores per over, calculated by dividing the total runs by the number of overs played. It's used as a measure of a team's momentum and attacking strength in T20 or ODI matches.
- Quick example
- If Team A scores 90 runs in 10 overs, their run rate is 9.0 — meaning they average 9 runs per over, which is considered a strong rate in T20 cricket. The opposing team needs to beat this rate to win the match.
Run Handicap in Cricket Betting
- What is a run handicap?
- Run handicap in cricket works like a goal handicap in football — it levels the playing field between teams of differing strength. The weaker team is given a head start in runs on the scoreboard, while the stronger team needs to overcome a higher run total for the bet to be settled as a win.
- Quick example
- If India is given a handicap of -25.5 runs against a weaker side, they need to win by at least 26 runs for your bet on India to win. If India's winning margin is only 20 runs, the handicap market is settled as a loss — even though India won the actual match.
Most Anticipated Cricket Tournaments & Matches
IPL — Asia's Most Popular Cricket League
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most widely followed T20 cricket league across Asia, including among Malaysian fans. Matches featuring teams like Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore draw millions of viewers every season. On y20, IPL markets come with a wide range of options including match winner, total sixes in an innings, and top run scorer.

T20 World Cup — The Pinnacle of International Cricket
The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is the pinnacle of international T20 cricket, held every two years. Fierce competition between powerhouses like India, Australia, England, Pakistan, and South Africa makes for high-tension matches and a wide variety of betting opportunities. Markets for this tournament cover overall champion, group winners, and the result of every individual match.
India vs Pakistan Series — The Most Anticipated Fixture
An India vs Pakistan match in any cricket format is always a marquee event on the global sporting calendar. In Malaysia, interest in these fixtures runs especially high among the Indian community and cricket fans in general. y20 opens dedicated markets for every India vs Pakistan match, with competitive odds and a wide range of betting options available.

How to Get Started with Cricket Betting

Getting started with cricket betting on y20 is straightforward. Simply register an account, make your first deposit using your preferred local payment method, then navigate to the Cricket section on the platform.

Choosing the Right Markets as a Beginner
For newcomers to cricket betting, the easiest market to start with is the match winner — you simply pick which team you think will win. No deep knowledge of player stats or pitch conditions required.
Once you're more comfortable, you can explore other markets such as total runs in an innings, number of wickets within a set period, or who will be named Man of the Match. Each market comes with a brief explanation on the platform to help you follow along.
Five Interesting Cricket Betting Angles Worth Exploring
T20 is the most popular cricket format for betting because each match wraps up in three to four hours. Odds shift quickly with the momentum of the game, making in-play betting especially exciting. Markets like consecutive sixes or the highest-scoring over give active bettors plenty of options to work with.
One Day Internationals (ODI) give more room for strategy to unfold across 50 overs per side. ODI betting markets are more varied, covering runs scored in each session, opening batting partnerships, and who will win the toss. Match outcomes are generally more predictable than T20 if you keep a close eye on team statistics.
Test matches span five days and require a deeper understanding of pitch conditions, weather, and team composition. While more complex, Test markets offer more stable odds as changes don't happen abruptly. Ideal for bettors who prefer analysing data before making a call.
Beyond betting on match outcomes, you can also bet on individual player performance — such as who will score the most runs, who will take the first wicket, or who will be named Man of the Match. These markets call for solid knowledge of specific players and their current form.
In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. Odds are updated every over or after each wicket falls. It demands focus and quick decisions, but it also opens up opportunities to bet based on live momentum — something that simply couldn't be predicted beforehand.
