127 Cricket Betting — IPL, T20 & Test Match for Malaysian Fans
This page gives you a full overview of the cricket section on the 127 platform — covering IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, One Day International, and Test Match fixtures from around the world. You'll learn how to find matches, what markets are available, and how to get started with deposits in MYR.
Cricket is hugely popular among the South Malaysian community and international sports fans alike. Here you'll find out how to follow live matches while placing real-time bets right from your phone.
Cricket Betting — A Quick Guide for New Users
Cricket is a team sport played between two sides of 11 players each. Betting on cricket means placing money on a specific outcome of a match — whether it's who wins, how many runs will be scored, or which player takes the first wicket.
On the 127 platform, cricket markets cover matches from India (IPL), England, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and many other nations active on the international cricket calendar.
Malaysia's large South Indian community and the country's broad appetite for international sport make cricket one of the most actively bet-on sports among Malaysian users. IPL fixtures in particular draw high engagement thanks to a packed schedule running from April through May each year.
International fixtures involving Asian nations like India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka also draw strong interest, driven by the popularity of cricket stars who have a loyal following among local fans.

Cricket Formats & Available Market Types
The Three Main Formats of Cricket
Cricket is played in three main formats, each with its own duration and rules. Understanding these differences helps you choose more relevant markets and make better-informed betting decisions.
| Format | Duration | Tournament Examples | Popular Market Types |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 3–4 hours | IPL, T20 World Cup, BBL | Match winner, Man of the Match |
| One Day (ODI) | 7–8 hours | ODI World Cup, Asia Cup | Total runs, first wicket |
| Test | Up to 5 days | The Ashes, ICC World Test | Win, draw, or lose within the time limit |
Most Popular Cricket Markets
Beyond the straightforward match winner market, there are a range of other options offering different opportunities. The "Top Batsman" market asks you to pick who will score the most runs in a given match, while "Method of Dismissal" has you predicting how a particular player will get out — whether caught, bowled, run out, and so on.
For T20 matches in particular, the "Sixes In Match" (total sixes hit) and "Fall of First Wicket" (runs at the first wicket) markets are among the popular picks, as they keep things interesting throughout the match without having to wait for the final result.
How Malaysian Cricket Fans Use the 127 Platform
IPL Season — The Four Busiest Weeks
During the IPL season running from April through May, Malaysian users from the Tamil and Telugu communities, as well as general cricket fans, become highly active in the cricket section of the 127 platform. With matches scheduled almost daily, the IPL provides consistent betting opportunities throughout.
Many users access the platform on their phones during dinner or after work, right before IPL matches kick off — typically around 7.30 PM Malaysian time.
India vs Pakistan International Match
India vs Pakistan cricket fixtures are among the most-watched sporting events on the platform among Malaysian users. Whenever these two sides meet — especially in the T20 World Cup or Asia Cup — betting activity climbs sharply.
The "Match Winner" market for India-Pakistan rivalries often carries tighter odds than regular matches, as the gap in quality between these two sides tends to be very close.
Access from Sabah & Sarawak
Cricket fans from East Malaysia including Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, and Kuching can access the cricket section on 127 without any restrictions. Whether you're on Celcom, Maxis, or Unifi Mobile, the platform runs smoothly on a standard 4G connection.
If you prefer using a mobile app, download the official 127 app for a faster experience and instant notifications whenever the odds on your favourite matches change.
Night Matches — A Convenient Time Zone
Cricket matches from India and South Asia typically start between 2 PM and 7 PM Malaysian time (IST + 2.5 hours), making them easy to follow in the evenings without cutting into your work hours.
Matches from Australia (Big Bash League) typically start between 4 PM and 6 PM Malaysian time — easy to catch right after office hours.
Two Key Concepts in Cricket Markets
Run handicap is a market where one team is given a head start or a deficit in runs before the match begins, levelling the odds between a stronger and a weaker side.
A simple example: In a T20 match between India and Zimbabwe, the handicap might be set at India -40.5 runs. This means India would need to win by more than 40 runs for an India handicap bet to pay out. If India wins by only 30 runs, a bet on Zimbabwe with that handicap wins — even though Zimbabwe lost the actual match.
This market offers better value when one team significantly outclasses the other, as straight match winner odds can be too low to be worth betting on.
The Over/Under market is a bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a portion of it will exceed (over) or fall below (under) a figure set by the platform.
A simple example: For a T20 match, the line is set at 160.5 total runs. You place RM 50 on "Over 160.5". If the combined runs from both teams reach 170, you win. If the total is only 145, you lose.
This market is useful when you're unsure who will win but have a view on whether the match will be high-scoring (lots of runs) or low-scoring (few runs), based on pitch conditions and weather.
A Faster Cricket Experience via the Mobile App
Odds Notifications for Your Favourite Matches
One key advantage of using the official 127 mobile app over a web browser is the live notification feature. You can bookmark cricket matches you're interested in and receive alerts whenever the odds shift significantly or when a match is about to start.
This is especially handy during the IPL season when multiple matches run simultaneously and manually tracking every market becomes a challenge.
Live Betting During the Match
The live betting feature lets you place bets while a cricket match is ongoing. Odds for specific markets — such as "Who will score a run off the next over" or "Will a wicket fall in the next 5 balls" — are updated every few seconds to reflect real-time conditions on the field.
For the smoothest live betting experience, download the the official 127 app from our download page and make sure your internet connection is stable — WiFi or a strong 4G signal is recommended when using this feature.
