Cricket may not be the most mainstream sport across all segments of Malaysian society, but for those who follow it — especially the Malaysian Indian community and fans of international sport — it's far more than just a game. The IPL alone draws hundreds of millions of viewers each season, delivering drama, upsets, and historic moments that are hard to match in any other sport.
At MeritKing, we recognise the growing interest in cricket among Malaysian fans. That's why we've built one of the most comprehensive cricket betting platforms available to Malaysian users — with coverage spanning over 40 leagues and tournaments, an extensive range of betting markets, and live betting that updates ball by ball.
If there's one cricket tournament that truly ignites the passion of sports fans worldwide, it's the Indian Premier League. Since its launch in 2008, the IPL has grown into the fourth most valuable sports league in the world by revenue. Every season, the finest players from India, Australia, England, West Indies, South Africa, and beyond come together to compete in a fast-paced, electrifying T20 format.
At MeritKing, our IPL coverage runs from the very first group-stage match all the way to the grand final. Every game offers dozens of markets to choose from – who wins the toss, who tops the batting charts, how many sixes in the first innings, right through to the predicted final result. Our odds update ball by ball throughout the match, letting you bet based on the live momentum you're watching unfold.
Many new players find cricket betting odds a little confusing at first, especially in Test format where there are three possible outcomes — win, lose, or draw. Odds at MeritKing are displayed in decimal format, which is straightforward to understand. For example, if India's odds are 1.75, a RM100 bet returns RM175 if India win — a net profit of RM75.
In T20 formats like the IPL, a draw is virtually impossible, so you'll typically see just two odds. In ODIs and Tests, however, you'll see three odds reflecting all three possible outcomes. Understanding the true value behind the odds — rather than simply picking what looks most profitable — is the key to smart, effective cricket betting.
One of the most popular features among MeritKing users is the live in-play betting function for cricket. It lets you place bets while the match is in progress, with odds updating in real time based on what's happening on the field. If a team loses three wickets in two overs, their odds will shift noticeably – giving you a higher-value opportunity if you believe they can mount a comeback.
A popular live betting strategy in cricket is to wait until the midpoint of the first innings to see how the pitch is playing and how the bowlers are responding, before making a more informed betting decision. That said, it all needs to be done with discipline and within the budget you've set beforehand.

In cricket, emotions can easily cloud your judgment – especially when your favourite team is playing. Many bettors make the mistake of wagering too heavily on their preferred side not out of sound analysis, but out of loyalty. At MeritKing, we encourage you to always make decisions grounded in data and objective analysis.
Use head-to-head history, pitch conditions, team composition, and recent player form as the foundation of your bets. Set a weekly budget you're comfortable with and never exceed it — even when you feel confident about a result. Remember, no cricket match is ever 100% predictable — that's part of what makes the sport so compelling. For more responsible betting guidance, visit the Responsible Gaming us.
