Cricket is more than just a sport within certain communities in Malaysia – it's a passion that unites millions of fans across Asia. In the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru especially, many follow the IPL just as closely as the Malaysia Super League. When India meets Pakistan in an ICC fixture, phones light up and mamak stalls fill to capacity – that's how deeply cricket runs in the lives of many Malaysians.
XC 88 understands this passion. That's why we built Malaysia's most comprehensive cricket betting platform – going far beyond simple match winner bets, with hundreds of in-depth markets that let you put your cricket knowledge to real use. Bet on top batsman, powerplay run totals, wicket counts, and much more.
All deposits and withdrawals are made in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) via DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, FPX Maybank2u, and CIMB Clicks. Minimum bet is just RM 2 – start small, build your confidence, then increase your stakes.

It's not just about picking a winner – XC 88 offers hundreds of cricket market types that put your in-depth knowledge of the game to the test.
The most straightforward market – simply pick which team will win the match. Available across all formats (T20, ODI, Test) with odds that update in real time to reflect current on-field conditions.
Predict which player will score the most runs or take the most wickets in a match or series. These markets require in-depth knowledge of individual players and their performance records.
Predict whether the total runs scored in a full match or within a specific session (powerplay, death overs) will go over or under a set line. A popular market for T20 and ODI betting.
Bet on which team will win the overall series (whether 3 or 5 matches). Payouts are higher than single-match bets because the outcome is harder to predict.
Predict how many runs will be scored in the first over, or whether a wicket will fall within the first 6 balls. Over-by-over markets keep the excitement going from the first ball to the last.
Bet on the outcome of every single delivery while the match is in progress – will the next ball produce a run, a dot ball, a wicket, a six, or a four? The most thrilling market on XC 88, with odds refreshed ball by ball.
Cricket has three main formats, each differing in match length, strategy, and the types of markets available. Understanding these differences is important so you can choose the format that best suits your betting style at XC 88.
T20 is the shortest and most popular format for betting – each side plays just 20 overs, with matches wrapping up in roughly 3 hours. Results can shift in an instant in T20, making it ideal for in-play betting. The IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, and BBL all use this format.
ODI (One Day International) or 50-over cricket gives strategies more time to develop. Matches run for 7–8 hours, creating more opportunities for in-play betting as the game matures. The ICC ODI World Cup and Asia Cup both use this format.
Test Cricket is the oldest and most technical format – matches can last up to 5 days. Despite the slower pace, Test Cricket markets at XC 88 remarkably deep and offers excellent value for players who truly understand cricket.
Compare the key characteristics of each format before deciding where to focus your betting.
| Format | Duration | Overs Per Side | Great for In-Play | Number of Markets | Result Speed | Example Tournaments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | ~3 hours | 20 | 700+ | Lightning Fast | IPL, ICC T20 WC | |
| ODI | ~7 hours | 50 | 500+ | Medium | ICC ODI WC, Asia Cup | |
| Test | Up to 5 days | ~90/day | 300+ | Slow | ICC Test Series | |
| The Hundred | ~2.5 hours | 100 balls | 400+ | Lightning Fast | The Hundred (England) |
Technical knowledge of cricket is a major edge in betting. Use these tips to sharpen your decisions at XC 88.
In cricket, pitch conditions and weather play a huge role in how a match unfolds. A wet or damp pitch favours fast bowlers, while a dry, dusty surface suits spinners. Always check the weather forecast and pitch report before placing a big bet.
Some teams have exceptionally strong or weak records against certain opponents. India, for instance, holds a dominant psychological edge over Pakistan in ICC events – this kind of data matters. XC 88 provides head-to-head statistics for all major fixtures.
Many people assume winning the toss and choosing to bat first is always a major advantage – but that's not always the case. At certain grounds, chasing is actually the stronger position. Check the toss winner win rate statistics for specific venues before placing bets based on the toss outcome.
With over 700 markets available, the temptation to bet on everything is real. But you're better off mastering 3–4 market types in depth – such as top batsman and over/under runs – rather than spreading bets randomly across all markets. Specific expertise consistently produces better results.
In-play cricket betting is highly dynamic – odds shift with every ball. When a wicket falls unexpectedly during the powerplay, the batting team's odds can drop sharply. That can represent a real value opportunity if you believe they still have what it takes to stage a comeback. Stay actively engaged with the game as it unfolds.
The absence of one key player – particularly a top batsman or leading fast bowler – can dramatically shift match odds. Always check the confirmed team lineup before placing a bet, especially for top batsman and top bowler markets.

View All FAQs"I've been following the IPL for years. When XC 88 launched a truly complete cricket betting market, I switched immediately. The best part is the ball-by-ball markets – it feels like you're sitting right at the boundary. A 4-leg IPL parlay last month landed me RM 18,200 – absolutely worth it because I genuinely understand cricket and know which teams are in form. Depositing via DuitNow is fast too."
"I prefer Test Cricket over T20 – there's far more strategy and analysis involved. XC 88 is the only platform I've found in Malaysia with deep Test markets – series winner, top scorer per innings, and more. The weekly 5% cashback also helps on those Test matches that unexpectedly end in a draw."
"The India vs Pakistan ICC match is something I look forward to every year. With XC 88, it's not just about watching – I place bets based on my own analysis of player form, head-to-head records, and pitch conditions. Winning feels so much more rewarding when it's backed by knowledge, not just luck. The odds are competitive too, and withdrawing to Touch 'n Go is a breeze."
