125i Cricket — Live IPL, T20 & International Match Betting
This page takes you straight to the cricket betting hub on 125i — covering how markets work, available match formats, local deposit methods, and a key terminology guide for Malaysian users who are new to the sport.
What Is Cricket Betting at 125i?
The Cricket section at 125i lets Malaysian users follow international cricket matches and place bets across a wide range of markets in real time — from match winner and total runs to individual player performance. Odds are updated live throughout the match as play unfolds.
Unlike standard betting, live cricket betting on 125i lets you react to how the match is unfolding. If your team loses a few early wickets, odds can shift quickly — giving attentive users the chance to find better value at just the right moment.
Why Is Cricket Popular in Malaysia?
While not a national sport, cricket has a strong following in Malaysia — particularly among the South Asian community and younger users who actively follow the IPL. Every IPL season drives a significant spike in cricket betting activity among users on platforms like 125i.
The T20 World Cup and bilateral ODI series such as India vs Pakistan, Australia, or England draw an even wider audience. Users from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor frequently access the 125i cricket section in the evenings after 7pm, when India matches typically kick off.

Things Many Users Overlook
The cricket section on 125i offers far more than just match winner markets. Many new users don't realise there are dedicated markets for each over — meaning you can place a small bet on what happens in just the next 6 balls, without committing to the entire match.
Additionally, the accumulator (multi-bet) lets you combine multiple matches into a single bet — with multiplied odds for higher potential returns. It's ideal on weekends when several IPL matches are on at the same time.
Users accessing via the 125i Android app also get the added benefit of pre-match notifications — handy for making sure you never miss the opening of pre-match odds, which sometimes offer the best value before heavy betting volume shifts the market.

Key Cricket Betting Terms
Get familiar with these 6 terms before you start — they'll help you read the markets with confidence.
Odds show how much you stand to receive relative to your stake. Odds of 2.50 mean every RM10 wagered returns RM25 if you win — including your original stake. Higher odds indicate a lower probability but a bigger payout.
Handicap levels the playing field between stronger and weaker teams by adding or subtracting a set number of runs from the final result. Example: India -25.5 runs means India must win by more than 25 runs for your bet to succeed.
This market asks you to predict whether the total runs scored will go Over or Under a set number. For example, Over/Under 165.5 runs in a T20 match — predict whether the combined total from both teams will be above or below that figure.
Bets placed while a match is in progress. Odds update in real time based on how the game unfolds — for example, if the favoured team loses 3 wickets in quick succession, their odds will shift rapidly.
Markets based on the number of wickets to fall within a set period — such as "wickets in the powerplay" or "first wicket in the opening 3 overs". These require an understanding of specific bowlers' and batsmen's playing styles.
A single bet slip that combines two or more matches. All selections must be correct to win, but the odds are multiplied — giving you the potential for a much higher return on the same stake.
Match Format & Key Seasons
T20 — The Most Popular Format at 125i
T20 matches wrap up in 3–4 hours with each team facing exactly 20 overs. It's the format best suited to betting — the action is fast, odds shift frequently, and the result stays unpredictable right up to the final over. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the biggest T20 competition in the world and consistently records the highest betting activity among 125i users every year.
ODI — 50-Over Matches
One Day Internationals (ODIs) give you more time for strategies to develop. Matches last a full day with each team playing 50 overs — creating more entry points for live betting. ODI series between Asian nations like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh are hugely popular in Malaysia, driven by a large diaspora community.
Test Match
Test matches run up to 5 days and offer markets that differ from short-format cricket. Session winner, daily run totals, and bowler performance are among the available markets. Test cricket between England and Australia (The Ashes), or India playing abroad, draws serious cricket followers who appreciate the depth of statistics involved.

They tend to follow the IPL consistently and have their own team loyalties, making cricket betting more of a personal passion than pure speculation.
The most active cricket betting window on 125i is between 7pm and 11pm Malaysian time — in line with India's evening match schedule. During IPL season (April–May), activity in the cricket section surges noticeably compared to the rest of the year.
