1300 Cricket — IPL, ODI & Test Betting for Malaysian Fans
This page is a complete guide to the Cricket section on the 1300 platform — covering supported match formats, types of betting markets, and how to access everything from your phone. All in Bahasa Melayu, tailored specifically for Malaysian users.
Three Cricket Formats — Each Played Differently
Understanding the differences between these formats helps you choose the markets that best suit your style.
Each team faces just 20 overs. Matches wrap up in 3–4 hours. IPL uses this format, and it's the most popular among Malaysian cricket fans for its fast-paced, high-intensity action. T20 is also where betting markets are most active and varied.
Each team bats for 50 overs, with matches typically lasting 6–8 hours. ODIs allow more time for strategies to develop and offer compelling mid-match betting markets. The ICC Cricket World Cup uses the ODI format.
The longest format — lasting up to 5 days, with each team playing two innings. Test cricket attracts a more dedicated following thanks to its long-form strategy, where pitch conditions and weather play a significant role. Markets are structured around daily playing sessions.
| Event / Tournament | Format | Teams Involved | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPL (Indian Premier League) | T20 | 10 Indian franchises | Annually, April–May |
| ICC T20 World Cup | T20 | Global national teams | Every two years |
| Bilateral ODI Series | ODI | Two national teams | Year-round |
| Bilateral Test Series | Test | Full-member Test teams | Year-round |
| ICC Asia Cup | ODI / T20 | India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and more | Every two years |
Why Cricket Has a Special Place at 1300
Four things that make the Cricket section on this platform stand out for Malaysian users.
The international cricket calendar runs almost all year round — there's always a match to follow.
More than 10 full-member Test nations compete in ICC tournaments and bilateral series throughout the year.
From match winners to specialist markets like top run scorer and total wickets in a session.
All markets are accessible from a smartphone without needing a computer — including live betting during matches.
Two Cricket Concepts You Should Understand Before Betting
Cricket is different from football — its betting markets are tied to unique mechanics. These two concepts are the most important ones to understand.
- Run Rate
-
Run Rate (RR) is the average number of runs scored per over. It is calculated by dividing the total runs accumulated by the number of overs played. In T20 cricket, a high run rate indicates a team is batting aggressively, while a low run rate signals pressure from the bowling side.
A simple example: Team A scores 80 runs in the first 10 overs. Their run rate is 80 ÷ 10 = 8.0. To chase a target of 160, they need to maintain an overall run rate of 8.0 — the "Over/Under Total Runs" market factors in exactly this figure.
- Wickets and Their Impact on Markets
-
A wicket is how a batter is dismissed. Every wicket that falls shifts the balance of a match considerably — especially when a key batter is out early. Live markets during a match move quickly after each wicket.
A simple example: A team is cruising at 120/2 in the 15th over. Then two wickets fall in a single over — the match winner market shifts dramatically and their odds spike. This is when live markets are at their most active.
Understanding run rate and the value of wickets will help you read live cricket markets more intelligently and act at the right moment.
Malaysian Cricket Fans — Context Worth Knowing
Cricket is no newcomer to Malaysia — it has a long history here and a vibrant, active community to show for it.
Why IPL Dominates Local Interest
The IPL (India Premier League) is the single biggest driver of cricket interest among Malaysian users, particularly within the Malaysian Indian community, which shares deep cultural ties with the sport. Held every April to May, the IPL draws massive attention each season, and star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni command a loyal following right across Malaysia.
Beyond IPL, matches between India and Pakistan — often called the "El Clasico" of Asian cricket — consistently draw extraordinary viewership and conversation. Every encounter between these two sides becomes a social event that extends well beyond the boundaries of sport.
Test and ODI matches featuring England, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa also have a following in Malaysia, particularly among fans who grew up watching cricket during the British colonial era.
Malaysian Users and Their Cricket Viewing Habits
Due to the time zone difference, IPL matches in India start in the Indian evening — meaning they're broadcast from around 7:30 PM to late night in Malaysia (MYT+2.5). This is ideal for users who want to catch a match after work while keeping an eye on the 1300 platform from their phone.
IPL matches kick off at around 7:30 PM (MYT). Make sure your account and balance are ready before match time to avoid missing the pre-match markets.
IPL Season & Hari Raya — Double the Excitement
When the IPL season coincides with Malaysian celebrations like Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Chinese New Year, the 1300 platform will often run special promotions tied to the Cricket section. These may include deposit bonuses for selected matches or dedicated activities over major match weekends.

Cricket offers a wide range of markets — from the most straightforward to those that reward a deeper knowledge of the game.
Core Markets (Great for Beginners)
- Match Winner — Predict the overall match winner. The simplest and most popular market.
- Match Toss — Predict which team wins the coin toss before the match begins.
- Total Runs (Over/Under) — Predict whether the total runs scored in the match will go over or under a set value.
- First Innings Winner — Predict which team dominates the first innings of the match.
Specialist Markets (For Cricket Enthusiasts)
- Top Run Scorer — Predict which batter from a specific team will score the most runs in the match.
- Top Wicket Taker — Predict which bowler will take the most wickets in the match.
- Score in a Specific Over — Predict the total runs scored in a specific over (typically over 6 or over 20).
- Run Handicap — One team is given a run advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field between mismatched sides.
Live (in-play) markets are available while the match is in progress, offering far more options than pre-match markets. During a T20, new markets open every few overs — giving you the chance to react to how the game is unfolding in real time.
One important note: odds during a cricket match shift according to on-field conditions, not just the score. Pitch conditions, weather, and the current form of players all influence how the platform sets its markets.
