From the roaring stands of Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore to the high-energy PSL finals that unite Karachi and Rawalpindi, cricket is woven into everyday Pakistani life. At 98pakr, you can bet on all of it — live in-play, pre-match, and across every format — with odds in PKR and deposits via JazzCash or EasyPaisa.
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it's a national passion that runs from the gullies of Faisalabad to the corporate boxes of Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. Fans here don't merely watch; they analyse, debate, predict, and live every over. At 98pakr, the cricket betting platform is designed around that depth of engagement. Shallow odds pages and limited markets are not what Pakistani bettors want — so we don't offer them.
The 98pakr cricket section covers every major format: Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise cricket, ICC Test matches and championships, T20 Internationals, One Day Internationals, and bilateral series played at home or abroad. When Pakistan tours England, Australia, or the Caribbean, 98pakr has pre-match and in-play markets running from the first warm-up game to the deciding Test. When PSL season kicks off, dedicated tournament markets — including outright winner, top scorer, and session betting — go live before a single ball is bowled.
Deposits and withdrawals at 98pakr are PKR-denominated and processed through the payment methods Pakistanis actually use: JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL Internet Banking, UBL Omni, and cryptocurrency (USDT for those who prefer it). There's no need to convert currencies or navigate international transfer delays. You bet in PKR, you win in PKR, and your winnings arrive in your JazzCash wallet or bank account — typically within minutes of a match concluding.
The 98pakr sportsbook is built on international infrastructure with a dedicated Pakistani market focus. Odds are competitive and reviewed against global benchmarks to ensure our members get meaningful value on Pakistani cricket markets — not padded house edges designed for passive players.
Every match in 98pakr's cricket sportsbook comes loaded with markets across all three formats. Here's a breakdown of what's available — from the obvious to the granular.
Straight match result betting across all formats. Includes draw option for Test matches. Most liquid market on any match.
Markets update delivery by delivery during live play — next ball outcome, over runs, wicket in next over. Maximum engagement.
Bet on whether a match or innings will go over or under a specified run total. Particularly popular in PSL T20 matches.
Which player will score the most runs or take the most wickets in a match or innings? Babar Azam specials are always available for Pakistan games.
A classic subcontinent betting format — predict the run total for a specific session of play. Available for Test matches and PSL innings halves.
Season-long ante-post markets for PSL, T20 World Cup, and ICC championships. Place early for best value before tournament dynamics shift odds.
Simple coin-flip market popular for quick action before a match starts. Offered at near-even odds on all 98pakr cricket fixtures.
Lahore Qalandars, Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi and all six PSL franchises have dedicated markets — including head-to-head franchise rivalry betting.
The Pakistan Super League is the crown jewel of domestic cricket betting in Pakistan. Since its launch in 2016, PSL has grown into one of the world's top franchise T20 competitions — attracting international stars alongside Pakistan's finest, played in front of passionate home crowds in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan.
For the serious bettor, PSL offers advantages that big global leagues sometimes don't: a deeper local knowledge base, passionate and informed fan communities who closely track player form, injury news, and pitch conditions, and the ability to watch matches live and bet simultaneously via mobile at 98pakr.
98pakr carries the full PSL season — from the opening match through to the final — with match betting, session markets, player props, and live in-play odds. Before the tournament, ante-post markets on the overall winner and top run scorer are available. During the group stage, match-by-match markets open 48 hours before each game.
Whether you are backing Lahore Qalandars for back-to-back glory or tipping the Kings to rediscover Karachi's pace-friendly conditions, 98pakr is where Pakistani cricket knowledge translates into informed wagers.

The process is straightforward — from account setup to placing your first PSL bet, here's exactly how it works on 98pakr.
Decimal odds. Illustrative only — actual odds fluctuate with live match conditions.
Outright odds are indicative. Early-season ante-post markets offer best value before squad announcements.

These are not match tips — they are disciplined habits that separate informed bettors from impulsive ones, whether you are watching from Karachi or Islamabad.
Pakistani pitches vary enormously — Karachi's National Stadium traditionally favours pace early, while Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium tends to produce higher-scoring T20 games. Pitch reports before a game meaningfully shift the value of total-runs markets.
A team's T20 strength rarely translates directly to Test match betting. Pakistan's bowling attack in red-ball cricket operates differently to their white-ball roles. Treat each format as its own domain when assessing odds.
Player availability changes quickly in international cricket — injury, rotation, and late call-ups happen frequently. Bet only after squad announcements are confirmed. Early markets at 98pakr are based on expected lineups, not guaranteed ones.
Live betting is exciting but fast-moving. Have a pre-defined trigger — for example, "if Pakistan lose two early wickets I'll back the under on innings total" — rather than reacting emotionally to each ball. Reactive betting without a plan is the most common in-play mistake.
Cricket has high inherent variance — weather interruptions, DLS calculations, and player form reversals are all unpredictable. A three-leg cricket accumulator is manageable; a seven-leg acca across different matches compounds uncertainty significantly.
With PSL matches sometimes running four or five nights a week in peak season, it is easy for total wager amounts to accumulate without noticing. Set a fixed weekly budget in your 98pakr account settings and stick to it regardless of recent results.
Cricket betting at 98pakr is strictly for adults aged 21 and over. Sports betting involves financial risk and outcomes are never guaranteed — even with detailed cricket knowledge. Set deposit limits and session time limits before you start betting. Use the Responsible Gaming tools available in your 98pakr account settings. If betting is affecting your finances or relationships, please visit our Responsible Gaming page for guidance and self-exclusion options.
