213 Cricket — T20, ODI & Test Series Betting for Malaysian Fans
This page is a complete guide to cricket betting on the 213 platform — from understanding the types of cricket bets and following international matches and T20 leagues, to accessing all the latest odds directly from your mobile device, wherever you are in Malaysia.
What You Can Do in the 213 Cricket Section
Cricket on 213 covers all three major formats of the sport. T20 delivers fast-paced action with just 20 overs per side, making it the go-to for fans who want quick results. ODI (One Day International) matches span 50 overs, striking a balance between intensity and longer-term strategy. Then there's Test cricket — the oldest and most technical format — played over up to five days, requiring a deeper understanding of pitch conditions, weather, and team tactics.
213 covers all three formats with odds and bet types tailored to the pace and character of each. Malaysian players are especially active during matches involving India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Australia, as kick-off times align well with local evenings.
Unlike football betting, cricket offers a wider range of betting options due to the nature of the game, which progresses over by over and innings by innings. On 213, players can bet on the match winner, total runs in the full match, total runs in a specific session or over, the player who will score the most runs (top batsman), the player who will take the most wickets (top bowler), and whether a particular team will score above or below a set run total.
For T20 and ODI matches, in-play betting is available after every over — letting you adjust your strategy as the match unfolds.

Cricket Matches Malaysian Players Look Forward to Most
T20 World Cup & Asia Cup
The T20 World Cup is the pinnacle of international cricket and the most-followed tournament among Malaysian cricket fans. Matches involving India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Australia consistently generate exceptional interest among 213 users, especially when two powerhouse sides meet in the semi-finals or final. Odds for these fixtures typically open well in advance and are updated aggressively as the latest team news comes in.
The Asia Cup is a regional tournament spotlighting Asia's top teams. Since most of the teams involved are from countries close to Malaysia, these matches carry greater cultural relevance for local players. Asia Cup fixtures are typically scheduled in the evenings and nights, which aligns well with the Malaysian time zone and makes it easy to follow matches in real time.
IPL and World T20 Leagues
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most popular T20 league in the world, drawing huge interest in Malaysia for bringing together the best cricketers on the planet in a fast-paced, exciting format. 213 covers every IPL match with comprehensive information on team lineups, ground records, and player statistics to help you make more informed betting decisions.
Test Series & the Ashes
While the Test format is the longest and demands the most patience, the England vs Australia Test series (the Ashes) remains one of cricket's most prestigious events — one that true fans never miss. Betting on Test series comes with far more variety: from outright series winners and individual match results, to specifics like which player will score the most runs or claim the most wickets across the series.
Players following the Test format on 213 should know that odds here are more stable than in T20, since shifts over a five-day match call for more gradual adjustments. This gives patient, analytically minded players a real edge — those who dig into statistics and historical records tend to make sharper, better-informed picks.
Cricket Terms You Need to Know
Before you start betting on cricket, getting familiar with the basic terminology will help you make better decisions. Here are six essential terms commonly used in the context of cricket betting on 213.
An over consists of six balls bowled by one bowler to the batsman. In T20, each side has 20 overs; in ODI, 50 overs. In-play betting odds are updated after each over is completed.
In T20 and ODI, each team has one innings to post their runs. In Test cricket, each team can bat twice. This is an important concept to keep in mind when placing bets related to total runs.
A wicket means a batsman has been dismissed. Each team has 10 wickets per innings. "Total wickets" betting is popular because it reflects the overall performance of the bowling side.
Run rate is the average number of runs scored per over. It's calculated by dividing the total runs by the number of overs played. The current run rate is key to gauging a team's momentum as they build their innings.
Before each match, the captains of both teams conduct a coin toss to decide whether to bat or bowl first. The toss result can shift the odds, particularly when pitch or weather conditions give a clear advantage to one side.
The DLS method is used to recalculate the target when a match is interrupted by rain or other factors. If a match cannot be completed in full, the target is adjusted using this formula. Understanding DLS is important for knowing how the result of an interrupted match will be determined for betting purposes.
Two Cricket Betting Concepts You Need to Know
- Total Runs Betting (Over/Under Runs)
-
Total runs betting is wagering on whether the overall run total in a match — or within a single innings, session, or specific over — will go Over or Under a line set by the platform. For example, if the platform sets the line at 320.5 runs for an ODI, you choose Over if you think both teams will combine for 321 or more, or Under if you expect the total to fall short.
Quick example: In a T20 match, the line is set at 165.5 runs for the batting side. Backing Over means you expect that team to score 166 or more.
- Top Player Bets (Top Batsman / Top Bowler)
-
Top player bets let you pick a specific player you expect to stand out in a given category. For Top Batsman, you select who you think will score the most runs in the match from your chosen team. For Top Bowler, you pick the bowler you believe will take the most wickets. This bet type adds another dimension that rewards knowledge of a player's current form, their record at the venue, and the strength of the opposition.
Quick example: In a T20 match, you select India's top batsman at odds of 3.20 — if that player scores the most runs in their team, your bet wins.

Streamlined Interface for Quick Checks
The cricket pages on 213 are optimised so players can check odds, place bets, and follow match progress all at once on a smartphone screen. The responsive layout ensures all the key information — live scores, runs per over, latest odds, and the bet slip — is visible without having to switch between tabs or apps.
Notifications & Score Updates
Users who have installed the 213 app on their Android device can enable push notifications to automatically receive cricket score updates and odds changes. This is especially handy for matches that start in the morning or during working hours — you don't need to keep watching the platform, but you can still act on significant odds movements when they happen.
Works Even on a Slow Connection
Cricket matches run for a long time — sometimes over eight hours for a Test or four hours for an ODI. During that period, your internet connection may not always be stable. 213 uses adaptive loading to keep odds and score information accessible even on 3G or patchy WiFi, prioritising text display before graphical elements.
Commonly Overlooked Aspects of Cricket Betting
- Pre-match odds typically close around 30 minutes before the toss. After that, only in-play betting is available — with odds moving faster and shorter windows to confirm your bets.
- Matches disrupted by rain or bad light may result in revised targets calculated using the DLS method. In these situations, certain bet types may be settled based on the DLS result rather than the original target — check the Terms and Conditions section for more details.
- "Top Batsman" and "Top Bowler" bets apply within the context of the team you select — not across all players in the match. Make sure you understand the scope of the bet before confirming your slip.
- Players interested in using VIP benefits during the busy cricket season can visit the VIP Rewards on the 213 platform for details on the rewards programme available to active players.
- The international cricket match schedule is updated regularly. You can check the full schedule available in the cricket section of the platform after back to 213 home and select the cricket category from the main menu.
