Cricket is growing fast in Malaysia, driven largely by the excitement surrounding India's IPL every season. st996 offers a complete cricket betting experience — from match winners and top run-scorers to wicket-takers and over-by-over in-play markets.

Odds updated every minute. Click any odds value to add your selection to the bet slip.
From fast-paced T20 cricket to the strategic depth of Test Matches — st996 covers all formats and major world tournaments that matter to Malaysian fans.
If there is one international sport that has genuinely captured the attention of the Malaysian community in recent years, it is cricket. Cricket may once have been seen as a sport for the Indian or Pakistani community alone, but that perception has shifted considerably. Thanks to live IPL broadcasts reaching every corner of Malaysia, more and more Malaysians — from all walks of life — have started following and embracing cricket with real passion.
IPL in particular has the perfect formula for drawing in new fans. T20 matches wrap up in around three hours — a far shorter commitment than a five-day Test Match. Big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni are already widely recognized in Malaysia, creating an engaged and knowledgeable fan base. That is exactly the right environment for more meaningful cricket betting on platforms like st996.
At st996, the cricket section is built specifically for Malaysian players who want more than just picking a winner. The platform offers over 15 market types for every IPL and ICC match — from match winner and run handicap to total runs over/under, first ten-run scorer, and toss winner. For players who know their cricket well, every match opens up a wide range of opportunities for smart, considered betting.
One feature st996 users rate highly is in-play betting for cricket. This means you can place bets while the match is in progress, with odds updating every few seconds based on the live situation on the field. Imagine India losing 3 wickets in the first 5 overs — Pakistan's odds suddenly look a lot more attractive. With st996's in-play betting, you can react to real match developments and put your cricket knowledge to better use than you ever could with standard pre-match betting.
If you're a Malaysian player just getting into cricket through the IPL, don't worry — st996 provides a straightforward guide to cricket betting markets that's easy to follow. You don't need to memorise every rule before placing your first bet. Simple markets like "who wins the match" are a great starting point, and from there you can explore more specific markets as you grow more comfortable.
On the payments side, st996 processes cricket winnings the same way as all other winnings on the platform — quickly and reliably. You can withdraw to any Malaysian bank account or e-Wallet such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, or DuitNow within 3 to 15 minutes. No hassle, no hidden fees.

One of the main reasons cricket is such a popular choice for Sports Betting is the sheer range of markets on offer. Unlike football, which mostly revolves around the match winner, cricket gives you dozens of different ways to bet within a single match. Here are the key markets available at st996:
The most straightforward market to understand — simply pick the team you think will win the match. T20 and ODI formats have no draw option, while Test Match betting includes a draw selection. A great starting point for anyone new to cricket betting at st996.
Predict whether the total runs scored in a match or specific innings will go over or under the value set by st996. For example, "Over 165.5 Runs" means you believe both teams will combine for more than 166 runs in an innings. This market is especially well-suited to T20 matches, which typically produce high scores.
Predict which player will score the most runs (Top Batsman) or take the most wickets (Top Bowler) in a match or innings. This market rewards in-depth knowledge of players and pitch conditions — a real advantage for cricket enthusiasts who closely follow player statistics at st996.
Bet while the match is live — every over opens up new markets at st996. For example: "How many runs in the next over?" or "Will a wicket fall this over?" In-play markets are the most challenging and the most thrilling, ideal for cricket fans who follow the action ball by ball.
Toss Winner lets you bet on which team wins the coin toss before the match — odds are close to 50/50 and it works well for low-stake bets. Run Handicap gives the underdog a head start in runs to level the playing field. Both markets are cricket-exclusive and available at st996.

Real experiences from Malaysian cricket fans who actively bet at st996.
"I've been following the IPL for years but only started cricket betting at st996 this season. The odds are better than any other platform I've tried. The in-play over-by-over betting is fantastic — you can react to what's happening in real time. Made around RM 4,200 from IPL bets alone this month. The platform is smooth and easy to use on mobile."
"I prefer Test Matches because of the wide range of markets and the longer match duration — plenty of opportunities to get in at different momentum points. st996 has session-by-session markets for Tests which are incredibly useful. Deposit via DuitNow and you're ready to play within a minute. Withdrawals are fast too — funds hit my CIMB account in 10 minutes. Absolutely satisfied."
"I originally got into cricket because my husband loves the IPL. But once I got to know the players and teams a bit better, I started trying the Top Batsman market at st996. Turns out I have a sharper eye than I thought — won RM 2,900 from a Top Bowler bet just last week! st996 is easy to get the hang of even if you're not an experienced bettor."
Sports Betting is entertainment that adds to the excitement of watching cricket — it is not a source of steady income. Set a daily betting limit before the match starts and stick to it no matter the outcome. Never chase losses with bigger bets. Cricket knowledge gives you a real edge, but no bet is guaranteed — sport always carries an element of surprise. This platform is strictly for users aged 21 and above.
