1600 Cricket — Betting Markets
Malaysia's Most Complete Cricket Experience
On this page you can explore everything the 1600 platform has to offer cricket fans — from IPL markets and Test matches to local cricket leagues. Odds are updated in real time, deposits are simple via FPX or Touch 'n Go, and everything is accessible directly from your phone.
Five Dimensions of Cricket on This Platform
From match formats to betting strategies — here's what you need to know.
IPL — The Most Popular Cricket League
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most anticipated T20 cricket league of the year, especially among fans in Malaysia. The IPL season typically runs from March to May, with matches held almost every night. The 1600 platform offers comprehensive markets for every IPL match — including match winner, top batsman, top wicket-taker, and run handicap. Users can track live odds as they shift in real time during the match and make decisions based on the latest situation on the field.
International Matches — Test, ODI & T20I
Beyond the IPL, international cricket offers three main formats, each with its own distinct dynamic. Test matches span five days and reward a deeper understanding of pitch and weather conditions. ODIs (One Day Internationals) strike a balance between strategy and aggression. T20Is are the fastest-paced and best suited for live betting, where the momentum can shift within just a few overs. All three formats are available in the cricket section on the 1600 platform, with markets tailored to each format.
In-Play Markets — Betting During the Match
One of the key advantages of online cricket betting is the ability to place bets while the match is in progress. Odds shift with every over, wicket, and boundary. If your favourite team is under pressure after losing a few early wickets, their odds might offer better value for a comeback bet. In-play markets demand quick reactions and a read of the match's momentum — two skills that sharpen with experience.
Mobile Access for Cricket Followers
Malaysian cricket fans often follow matches late at night due to the time difference with India, England, or Australia. The 1600 platform is fully optimised for mobile — you can monitor odds and make decisions straight from your phone without needing to sit in front of a computer. The official Android app is available to download for a smoother experience, with match notifications to help you stay on top of key moments.
Available cricket Market Types
Beyond simple markets like "match winner", there's a wide range of betting options for users who want to go deeper. Markets such as "runs in an over", "batsman to score 50 or more", "wickets to fall in the morning session", or "toss winner" each add a layer of strategy to the betting experience. These market types are designed to let users put their cricket knowledge to work — not just take a random guess at the match result.
Cricket Through the Eyes of Malaysian Users
Cricket is no longer an unfamiliar sport in Malaysia. With large Indian, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi communities in the country, the sport has a dedicated and active following — especially during the IPL season or World Cup matches. Many users follow live broadcasts while simultaneously monitoring odds on their betting platform.
What makes cricket compelling as a sport to follow is its length and the many momentum shifts it contains. Unlike football, where a single goal can often decide the outcome, cricket allows momentum to swing multiple times within a single match. This makes every session — from the T20 powerplay to the Death Overs — a distinct phase worth tracking and factoring into your decisions.
The 1600 platform provides regularly updated odds, allowing Malaysian users to make informed decisions based on the latest information without having to rely on external sources. Everything is accessible in one platform with a Bahasa Malaysia interface.

Understanding Two Core Cricket Concepts
Before diving into cricket markets, get familiar with these two key mechanics.
- Run Handicap
- Run handicap gives one team a run advantage or deficit before the match begins, with the aim of balancing the odds between sides of different strengths. Example: If Team A is given -12.5 runs and they win the match by 20 runs, a bet on Team A with that handicap still wins. This market is useful when outright winner odds are heavily skewed toward one side and you're looking for better value.
- Over/Under Total Runs
- This market asks you to predict whether the total runs in an innings, an over, or the full match will go Over or Under a line set by the platform. Example: If the line is set at 168.5 runs for a T20 innings, you pick Over if you expect the team to score 169 or more. Pitch conditions, weather, and the venue's historical records are all important factors in making this call.
Both market types above — run handicap and over/under — apply across T20, ODI and Test matches. Understanding these basic mechanics helps you make more informed choices, rather than relying purely on instinct. The betting tip on this platform also provides regular analysis, which is useful as an additional reference.
Cricket Highlights on the 1600 Platform
Frequently Followed Cricket Seasons & Events
The IPL remains the most searched cricket event among Malaysian users every year. With 10 franchises representing major Indian cities, each team has its own following in Malaysia. Matches run almost every night for two months, giving users the opportunity to track and monitor odds consistently throughout the season.
Beyond the IPL, ICC World Tournaments — whether the 50-over ODI format or the T20 World Cup — draw massive interest as they bring together virtually every major cricketing nation. India vs Pakistan fixtures in particular rank among the most-watched matches anywhere in the world, including among cricket fans in Malaysia. Odds for these high-profile clashes tend to move fast and are worth tracking from early on.
The Ashes — the Test cricket series between England and Australia — is another event that draws attention from users who are more familiar with longer match formats. While it moves at a different pace compared to T20, Test markets offer a range of angles not available in shorter formats. The 1600 platform supports markets for all these events, accessible from the live matches.
For users just starting out with cricket as a betting sport, it's recommended to begin with T20 — the format is easier to follow and results come faster. From there, you can move on to ODI and eventually Test cricket as you get more comfortable with the dynamics of the game.
