Test Matches last up to five days. Markets cover innings results, match winner, and individual player performance across this extended period.
In-play betting while the match is live. Odds shift every ball — ideal for players who are actively following the action.
Six Cricket Terms You Need to Know Before You Bet
An over consists of six deliveries bowled by the same bowler. In T20, each team faces 20 overs. You can bet on the total runs scored in any given over.
The average runs scored per over. Used to calculate results in rain-affected matches under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
A batter is dismissed when a wicket falls. Markets like "total wickets in a session" or "top wicket-taker" are among the most popular bets on s500.
A team's turn to bat. In a Test Match, each side plays two innings. Bets can be placed on each innings' performance individually.
Similar to Asian Handicap in football — the weaker team is given a head start in runs or wickets. This levels the playing field between two mismatched sides.
The standout performer in a match. The "Who is the Man of the Match?" market offers high odds and is popular among players who follow individual player stats.

The Cricket Events South Asian Fans in Malaysia Look Forward to Most
Indian Premier League (IPL)
The IPL is the most-watched T20 cricket league in the world and one of the most actively bet-on events on s500. Running every April to May, the IPL delivers near-daily matches across six weeks. Malaysian players — particularly the Indian community and cricket fans in general — follow the IPL with great enthusiasm. Odds for every IPL match are updated in real time, with markets covering match results, series winner, top run-scorer of the season, and much more.
ICC T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup brings together the best sides in the world in cricket's most exciting format. Throughout the tournament, s500 adds broader markets including group stage betting, half-time results, and player-specific markets. Players tracking the progress of India, Pakistan, Australia, and England will find plenty of compelling market options from the group stage all the way through to the final.
International Test Series
For fans of classic cricket, Test series between sides like India vs England or Australia vs Pakistan offer a different kind of betting experience. Test Match markets run longer and require a deeper understanding of pitch conditions, weather, and player records. s500 keeps markets updated after every session of play.
Asia Cup Cricket
The Asia Cup brings together sides from across the continent — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and more — in one of cricket's most prestigious tournaments. For Malaysian players with family ties to South Asian countries, the Asia Cup is among the most personal events to follow and is often a top betting choice.

How Malaysian Players Follow Cricket on s500
Evening Sessions During IPL
IPL matches typically kick off between 7.30pm and 10.30pm Malaysian time (IST + 2.5 hours). This makes cricket a popular evening entertainment choice — many Malaysian players top up after work and follow the match while betting on their phones.
Live (in-play) odds shift with the flow of the game — if your favourite team loses a key wicket, the opponent's odds will drop quickly. Players following the match live have an edge when it comes to reading the situation.
Indian-Malaysian Community & Cricket
The Indian-Malaysian community is among the most active cricket followers. During the IPL or India matches in the World Cup, cricket betting volume on s500 rises significantly. Players from areas like Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor often gravitate towards markets tied to the Indian team — whether it's match results, top run-scorers, or cricket handicaps.
For a smoother experience, download the s500 app and enable live odds notifications so you never miss a key moment during a match.
