Cricket isn't just a sport for those who've watched it at the ground — it's one of the most popular sports to bet on across Asia, including Malaysia. At kurnia898, we offer the most comprehensive cricket betting platform, with full coverage of IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, The Ashes, One Day Internationals, and more. Every match is available for pre-match and in-play betting, with odds updated live ball by ball.
From the excitement of IPL to the tension of Test Matches — your bets belong here
Cricket was once seen as a sport with a niche following in Malaysia, but that has changed significantly in recent years. Thanks to live IPL broadcasts on Malaysian television, the rise of talented Asian players on the world stage, and the sheer excitement of fast-paced, action-packed T20 cricket, the sport now attracts betting enthusiasts from Kedah to Sabah, from Kelantan to Johor. At kurnia898, we've seen this surge firsthand through cricket betting volumes that multiply every IPL season.
What sets the kurnia898 cricket platform apart is the sheer depth of betting markets on offer. It's not just about picking a winner — you can bet on who will top the run charts, how many wickets a bowler will take, whether a team will chase down a target within the last 15 overs, or even who will be named Man of the Match. With over 40 bet types available for every major match, cricket at kurnia898 is an experience that genuinely rewards knowledge and analysis — not just luck.
One of the most loved features among dedicated kurnia898 cricket bettors is in-play, or live betting. This means you can place, adjust, or add bets while a match is in progress — tailoring your strategy to what's actually happening on the field. If your team loses an early wicket, you can tactically reduce your exposure or switch markets to take advantage of new opportunities as they emerge. Odds are updated every ball, delivering a betting dynamic unlike anything else in sport.
For Malaysian players who follow cricket seriously, kurnia898 also offers something rarely found on other platforms — live match statistics, head-to-head team history, and player performance records on specific grounds. All of this is available directly within your betting interface, allowing you to make more informed decisions based on real data.
From straightforward picks to exotic markets — there's something for every type of bettor
The most straightforward and popular bet — simply pick the team you think will win the match outright. Available across T20, ODI and Test Match formats, with odds updated before and during play.
Predict who will be the top run scorer or the bowler with the most wickets in a match. This market is hugely popular during the IPL, with so many star players in the mix.
Predict which player will be awarded Man of the Match honours. Odds in this market tend to be higher given the wider range of possible outcomes, making it an attractive option for bigger potential returns.
Predict whether the total runs in a match or a single innings will go Over or Under a set number. A popular market for T20 matches where outcomes are hard to call.
Predict how many sixes (6 runs) or fours (4 runs) will be hit in a match. A thrilling market, especially in T20s where big-hitting is part of the game.
Place bets while the match is live, with odds that shift every ball. Predict what happens next over, whether a wicket falls, or whether the game is about to turn.
Predict which team will win the coin toss before the match begins. Simple and quick, with odds close to 2.00 for every match — perfect for players looking for a fast win.
Handicap betting gives one team a run advantage or disadvantage, levelling the odds between stronger and weaker sides and making every match a more compelling bet.
Combine 2 to 10 selections from different matches into a single accumulator ticket. Multiplied odds mean exponentially bigger potential payouts — kurnia898's biggest winners regularly use this method.

Cricket is a sport rich in statistics — and that's a huge advantage for players willing to do their homework before placing a bet. Here are some tips practised by kurnia898 cricket bettors who win consistently:
Pitch conditions play a huge role in match outcomes. A dry, hard pitch favors batters (more runs), while a green, damp pitch gives seam bowlers the advantage. Always check the pitch report before placing your Over/Under run bets.
Overcast conditions can assist swing and seam bowling, while hot sunny weather tends to favour batters. In Test Matches, rain can completely shift the match dynamics and the available odds.
A key player injury or lineup change can shift odds dramatically. At kurnia898, the latest lineup information is displayed as soon as it's announced — check before you confirm your bet.
IPL is full of surprises — the so-called underdogs can topple champions. Look for value where the odds on the weaker side seem too generous relative to their actual winning chances.
