Real Time
Match Format
Each cricket format has its own rules, duration, and dynamics — and each one offers unique betting opportunities at royal24.
The fastest and most thrilling format in modern cricket. Each team faces just 20 overs, meaning a match wraps up in roughly three hours. This makes T20 a perfect fit for busy Malaysian fans and for in-play betting, as the game can swing dramatically in a matter of moments.
A one-day format with 50 overs per side — the perfect balance between the fast pace of T20 and the length of Test cricket. ODI offers more betting markets than T20 thanks to its longer duration and the greater number of turning points within a match. Hugely popular on the royal24 platform.
The most traditional format and widely regarded as the pinnacle of cricket. Played over up to five days, with each team batting twice. Test matches offer highly compelling odds because numerous factors can influence the result — weather, pitch conditions, player fatigue, and more. Royal24 provides full markets for all international Test matches.
Market Type
Cricket betting goes far beyond simply picking a winner. Royal24 offers over 200 market types for every major cricket match.
The most fundamental market — pick the team you think will win the match. Available across all formats, with odds reflecting team strength, match venue, and current conditions. The most popular bet among cricket players at royal24.
Predict whether the total runs scored in a match, an innings, or a single over will go above or below a set line. For example: Over/Under 160.5 runs in a T20. A highly active market during in-play betting at royal24.
Pick the player who will score the most runs (top batsman) or take the most wickets (top bowler) in a match. Odds are higher and a solid understanding of individual player form is essential.
Unique in-play markets for cricket — predict whether a wicket will fall in the next over, or whether the batsman will hit a four or six in the next few balls. Odds move fast and quick reactions are key at royal24.
Predict who will be named Player of the Match. Odds are higher as the outcome depends on an individual's overall performance throughout the game. This market is extremely popular for IPL matches at royal24.
Similar to a handicap in football — the weaker team is given a run advantage to level the odds. Example: Team A wins with a -10.5 run handicap. This market typically offers more attractive odds than a standard match winner bet at royal24.

Cricket Terms
Get familiar with these terms to read royal24 cricket odds with confidence and make sharper betting decisions.
A set of six deliveries bowled by one bowler. In T20, each team faces 20 overs; in ODI, 50 overs. Understanding overs is essential for Over/Under markets and per-over markets at royal24.
The ways a batsman can be dismissed — whether stumped, caught, LBW, run out, or otherwise. The number of wickets fallen directly affects the odds and underpins many cricket betting markets at royal24.
The mathematical method used to recalculate a revised run target when a match is interrupted by rain or other circumstances. Essential knowledge for players betting on ODI and T20 cricket — rain can completely change the outcome of a match at royal24.
The coin toss before a match determines which team gets to choose whether to bat or bowl first. The toss outcome can provide a significant advantage, especially on pitches that tend to deteriorate on the second day — a factor worth considering when betting on Test match odds markets.
Run Rate is the total runs scored divided by the number of overs played. Required Run Rate is how many runs the chasing team needs to score per over to reach their target. Both figures are widely used in royal24's in-play markets.
The opening phase of an innings (overs 1–6 in T20, overs 1–10 in ODI) during which only two fielders are permitted outside the circle. This gives batsmen a clear advantage and increases the likelihood of big scoring – making it one of the most active phases for per-over markets on royal24.

Complete Guide
Cricket may not be the most widely played sport in Malaysia, but when it comes to online betting, it is among the highest-activity sports markets across Asia. In Malaysia itself, particularly within communities that follow the game closely, interest in cricket betting has grown rapidly in recent years – and royal24 is here to meet that demand with a platform built specifically for local players.
What makes cricket so compelling for betting purposes is the sheer volume of data and statistics every match generates. Unlike football, which can sometimes end 0-0 with little of note happening, every cricket match produces hundreds of data points – from every ball bowled and every run scored to every wicket taken, ball speed, shot angles, and fielder positioning. All of this data is available to players on royal24 and can be used to carry out deeper analysis before placing a bet.
For players new to cricket betting at royal24, the best market to start with is Match Winner — simply pick which team you think will win. It's the most straightforward market to understand, and the odds on offer generally reflect each team's relative strength quite accurately. Once you're more comfortable reading odds and following how a cricket match unfolds, you can begin exploring more exciting markets such as Total Runs Over/Under, Top Batsman, and per-over markets.
One feature cricket bettors love at royal24 is the highly active in-play betting during live matches. Unlike football where odds shift every few minutes, cricket odds can move extremely fast — sometimes within seconds after a dramatic over or a key dismissal. This means attentive players can catch odds that haven't fully adjusted to the current situation yet. Royal24 delivers real-time odds updates so you never miss a window of opportunity.
The T20 format is the easiest entry point for Malaysian players new to cricket betting. Shorter matches mean you don't need to commit hours of your time, and results are more predictable than longer formats like Test cricket. The IPL in particular is hugely popular — it features recognisable teams, international stars, and an electric atmosphere that comes through brilliantly via live streaming on royal24.
For more serious bettors, the Test match format offers a completely different betting experience. In Tests, factors such as pitch conditions that evolve day by day, player fatigue accumulated over several days of play, and the influence of weather all carry far greater weight in shaping the outcome. Players who invest time in understanding the nuances of Test cricket often find that the odds on offer don't fully reflect the actual conditions on the ground – and those are the value opportunities that can be consistently exploited on the royal24 platform.
Royal24 also offers dedicated markets for Asian cricket tournaments that are especially relevant to Malaysian players, including the Asia Cup and ICC qualifiers featuring South Asian sides such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. These matches tend to receive extensive coverage in Malaysia, making it easy for local players to find the background information they need before making their betting decisions.
When it comes to bankroll management in cricket betting, one key rule is never to concentrate all your bets on a single match. The international cricket calendar is typically packed — especially during IPL season or an ICC World Cup — which gives you plenty of opportunities to spread your bets across multiple matches. This helps limit heavy losses on any single day and allows you to bet more consistently on royal24 over the long run.
Depositing to bet on cricket at royal24 is quick and simple using the Malaysian payment methods you already know. Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, Boost, ShopeePay and FPX online banking via Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks are all accepted, with a minimum deposit of just RM20. Winnings are also processed fast – typically within 5 minutes to your e-wallet or bank account, so you can enjoy your winnings without the wait.
For players who want to take their cricket betting more seriously at royal24, we recommend keeping up with international cricket news regularly, getting familiar with the track records of the major teams, and learning how to read a cricket scorecard. That knowledge, combined with access to competitive odds and a wide range of markets on royal24, will give you a meaningful edge and make your cricket betting experience both more enjoyable and potentially more rewarding.
