Cricket Bet Types at 98pak
From simple match winners to ball-by-ball micro-markets — 98pak covers every way a Pakistani cricket fan wants to bet.
Match Winner
The classic. Pick which team wins the match outright — available on T20, ODI, and Test formats. Straightforward odds, massive liquidity around Pakistan fixtures.
In-Play Betting
Bet while the match is in progress. Odds shift ball by ball — a wicket, a six, a powerplay change all move the market in real time. Fast, reactive, electric.
Top Batsman
Name the player who will score the most runs for their team. One of the most debated markets among Pakistani bettors — especially when Babar Azam or Rizwan are in form.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
Predict whether the total runs scored in an innings or full match will be above or below a set line. Works across all formats and is particularly popular on T20 PSL games.
Top Bowler
Which bowler takes the most wickets in the match? A market that rewards cricket knowledge — conditions, pitch reports, and opposition batting line-ups all matter.
Ball-by-Ball Markets
Will the next delivery be a dot ball, wide, boundary, or wicket? The most granular cricket betting market available — fast resolutions, multiple bets per over possible.
Toss Winner
Bet on which captain wins the toss. Pure 50/50 odds with a small edge built in — a light entry-point market that many Pakistani bettors enjoy as a pre-match warm-up.
Player Milestones
Will a specific batsman score a half-century? Will a bowler take a five-wicket haul? Milestone markets give you a vested interest in individual performances throughout the game.
Series Betting
Back Pakistan to win a bilateral series before a single ball is bowled. Higher odds, longer-term commitment — the market for Pakistan supporters who back their team through the full campaign.

Cricket Betting in Pakistan — The 98pak Perspective
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it is a shared language. In Karachi's Defence Housing Authority, in the lanes of Lahore's Anarkali Bazaar, in Faisalabad's textile district, and in Islamabad's G-sectors, conversations about Pakistan cricket never really stop. The team's performances travel faster than the news cycle, and opinions on selection, captaincy, and match tactics are held with genuine conviction by tens of millions of fans. 98pak was designed for precisely this audience.
Why the PSL Era Changed Everything
When the Pakistan Super League launched its first edition in 2016, it transformed domestic cricket engagement in Pakistan overnight. Suddenly, fans in Lahore had a franchise to call their own, Karachi had the Kings, Islamabad had United, and the rivalries that followed were intense, local, and deeply personal. 98pak has covered the PSL from early on, and the depth of our PSL markets reflects how seriously Pakistani bettors engage with the competition — over 200 markets per match during peak PSL nights, live ball-by-ball pricing, and same-session withdrawals when you win big on a Qalandars upset.
Betting Responsibly on Pakistan Cricket
The passion around Pakistan cricket can make it easy to over-invest emotionally — and financially — in a match outcome. 98pak takes responsible gaming seriously. Before placing any cricket bet, set yourself a clear budget for the session. Use the deposit limit tool in your account settings to cap how much you can fund in a 24-hour period. Do not chase losses after a bad session. The beauty of cricket is that there is always another match, another tournament, another chance — there is no need to recover everything in one sitting.
Remember: 21+ only. If you ever feel your gambling is becoming a problem, 98pak provides a self-exclusion option directly within account settings, and our Urdu-speaking support team can walk you through it at any hour.
Understanding Decimal Odds in PKR Terms
98pak displays odds in decimal format — the standard used by most modern betting platforms globally. If Pakistan are priced at 2.20 to win a T20 match and you stake Rs 1,000, your total return is Rs 2,200 (Rs 1,200 profit plus your Rs 1,000 stake back). If Pakistan are 1.75 favourites and you stake Rs 500, your return is Rs 875 (Rs 375 profit). The calculation is always: stake × decimal odds = total return. For in-play markets where odds shift rapidly, the price shown at the moment you confirm your bet slip is the price locked in — no surprises.
Cricket Accumulator Bets at 98pak
For Pakistani bettors who want higher potential returns, 98pak supports accumulator (parlay) betting across cricket markets. You can combine multiple match winner selections from different games — say Lahore Qalandars to win their PSL match AND Pakistan to win the following day's ODI — into a single bet slip. Your odds multiply together, so the potential return scales up quickly. The catch is that all legs of the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out. Start small with two or three selections until you're comfortable with how accas work before building out to larger combinations.
Responsible Gaming Notice: Cricket betting on 98pak is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. Never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose. If you need support, visit our Responsible Gaming page.

Cricket Betting Tips for Pakistani Players
No tip guarantees a win — cricket is gloriously unpredictable. But these habits help you approach betting with more discipline and awareness.
Follow Pitch and Conditions Reports Before Betting
Pakistani pitches in Rawalpindi and Multan have historically favoured batsmen, while conditions in Karachi can assist pace bowlers more. Before placing any match winner or total runs bet, check the surface report and weather forecast. A damp morning at the Gaddafi Stadium can shift the entire complexion of an ODI.
Don't Let National Loyalty Distort Your Odds Assessment
Pakistani cricket fans — understandably — want to back their team every time. But professional bettors separate emotion from analysis. If Pakistan are priced at 1.50 to win but the opposition has stronger recent form on that surface, the value might actually be with the underdog. Back Pakistan with your heart if you like, but assess the odds with your head.
In-Play Betting Rewards Patience
One of the best approaches for live cricket betting is to wait. Let the first few overs of an innings play out before committing. If a strong batting team loses early wickets, their odds can lengthen dramatically — creating value that wasn't there before the match started. Patience in the powerplay often pays better than rushing a pre-match bet.
Specialise in Formats You Know Best
T20, ODI, and Test cricket are three genuinely different games with different strategic dynamics. If you grew up watching PSL and T20 Internationals, your instincts for those formats are sharper. Betting markets in a format you understand less — like five-day Test cricket if you've rarely watched it — is a quick way to lose your balance. Stick to your strongest format until you build up knowledge across the others.
Set Session Limits Before Each Match
Decide your total betting budget for a match before it starts — whether you're watching from Islamabad or following ball-by-ball from a Faisalabad textile factory floor. Once that limit is reached, close the bet slip and enjoy the rest of the game as a fan. 98pak's deposit limit tool in account settings makes this easy to enforce automatically.
