Global Sports, the Widest Markets
From the prestigious ICC Cricket World Cup to the high-octane IPL — taxi88 offers the most comprehensive cricket markets, competitive odds, and live betting for every major match.
Cricket may not be Malaysia's most popular sport compared to badminton or football, but for those who follow it — it's a remarkably complex game and hugely entertaining to bet on. It's followed passionately within Malaysia's Indian community, and has also attracted a wide following among fans captivated by the brilliance of teams like India, Australia, and England on the international stage.
At taxi88, we believe every sports fan deserves a fair, secure, and engaging betting platform in their own currency. That's why our cricket section is built specifically for the Malaysian market — everything in MYR, with deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, or FPX, and odds updated in line with the latest developments in international cricket.
Cricket offers one of the richest betting experiences in terms of available markets. Unlike football, where results hinge on goals that can be few and far between, cricket generates dozens of bettable events every over — from each delivery bowled to individual player statistics. This makes cricket, particularly the T20 format, ideal for dynamic in-play betting on taxi88.
Whether you're a die-hard IPL fan who never misses a match, or someone who's just getting into cricket because of the ICC World Cup — taxi88 has something for you. This guide will walk you through match formats, market types, and basic strategies to help you get started with confidence.

Three distinct formats, three unique betting experiences — know the difference to bet smarter
Twenty20 is the most betting-friendly cricket format — it wraps up in just 3 to 4 hours, with each team facing 20 overs, making every single delivery count. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most glamorous T20 league in the world, drawing top stars from across the globe, and it consistently ranks among the most wagered-on sports at taxi88 each year.
One Day International (ODI) is the 50-over-a-side format that forms the backbone of the ICC Cricket World Cup — the most prestigious tournament in cricket, held every four years. Teams like India, Australia, England, and South Africa are perennial favourites. ODI betting at taxi88 offers a wider range of markets thanks to the longer match duration.
The most traditional form of cricket, played over up to five days. Test cricket demands a deep understanding of weather, ground conditions, pitch behaviour, and long-term team strategy. At taxi88, Test cricket markets offer high-value opportunities for players who truly know the game. The Ashes series between Australia and England remains the fiercest rivalry in the format.
The IPL is more than just a cricket league — it's a global phenomenon. Ten franchises representing major Indian cities compete in T20 format from April to May, drawing star players from around the world. Taxi88 provides full IPL coverage with markets updated before, during, and after every match.
Australia's T20 league, running from December through February — the perfect way to fill the sporting gap during the northern hemisphere's winter. The BBL is known for its high-energy entertainment and has drawn many new fans to cricket. Taxi88 provides full coverage with competitive odds across all BBL matches.
Held every two years, the T20 World Cup brings together 20 teams from around the globe. The fast-paced knockout format means every match is effectively a final. Taxi88 puts a huge focus on the ICC T20 World Cup — expect special odds, exclusive betting bonuses, and the broadest markets throughout the entire tournament.

From the simplest markets to the most technical — choose based on your level of knowledge
The most straightforward market — simply pick which team wins the match. Available across all formats: T20, ODI, and Test. In Test cricket, there's an additional "Draw" option that doesn't exist in other formats. The ideal starting point for anyone new to cricket betting at taxi88.
Bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will go over or under a set number. Example: Over/Under 320.5 total runs. Knowledge of pitch conditions, weather, and bowling strength is key to making informed decisions in this market at taxi88.
Predict which player will score the most runs (Top Batsman) or take the most wickets (Top Bowler) in a match. These individual player markets let you leverage your in-depth knowledge of specific players — and they're hugely popular at taxi88 for IPL and ICC matches.
When one team heavily outclasses the other, the handicap run line gives the weaker side a run advantage — or reduces the stronger side's — to level the playing field. Example: India -25.5 runs means India must win by more than 25 runs for your bet to win at taxi88.
The most unpredictable market in cricket — guess who wins the coin toss before the match kicks off. The chances are nearly 50-50, but odds usually carry a slight edge. This market is more for fun and typically opens only briefly before the match starts on taxi88.
The most dynamic market at taxi88 — place your bets while the match is in progress. "Next Over Runs" lets you wager on how many runs will be scored in the upcoming over. You'll need to act fast, as these markets are only open for a short window. Best suited for players watching the match live.
For Malaysian players new to cricket betting, the sport offers genuinely strong value compared to other sports — especially if you're willing to spend a little time understanding the factors that influence match outcomes.
Understand the pitch conditions. A cricket pitch changes throughout a match — especially in Test format. A fresh pitch favours batters, while a worn pitch tends to suit spin bowlers. Understanding the pitch conditions at a venue gives you a real edge when analysing your bets on taxi88.
Take weather conditions into account. Overcast conditions typically help fast bowlers in cricket, as the ball swings more. This gives an edge to teams with a strong pace attack. In England especially, the weather is a significant factor in both ODI and Test matches.
Latest Head-to-Head Analysis. Some teams have a notably strong or weak track record against specific opponents. India vs Pakistan, for instance, carries a very particular historical dynamic. When betting at taxi88, head-to-head records from the past two years tend to be more relevant than long-term historical data.
Individual player market value. In cricket, one or two star players can single-handedly determine the outcome of an entire match. If a team's key batsman is injured or out of form, the impact is significant — and the betting markets may not fully reflect this. That's a value opportunity you can take advantage of at taxi88.
Use a deposit method that works best for you. For a smooth betting experience at taxi88, use Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, or FPX via Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks. Deposits are processed in under 30 seconds — so you can top up your balance quickly whenever an exciting in-play betting opportunity comes up.
