Why Is Cricket Growing in Popularity Among Malaysian Players?
If you follow the sports betting community in Malaysia, you'll have noticed that cricket has carved out a much bigger space in recent years. Once considered a sport only Indians or the English followed, things are very different now. Cricket has become one of the most popular sports to bet on at Royal Bet Malaysia, standing shoulder to shoulder with football and badminton.
The reason is simple. The IPL – Indian Premier League – is one of the most exciting sporting leagues in the world, featuring star players from across the globe competing in fast-paced, action-packed T20 cricket. With easy access to live broadcasts and a strong cricket fan community in Malaysia, it's no surprise that so many Royal Bet players are now actively betting on cricket.
IPL – The Most Popular Bet at Royal Bet
The Indian Premier League, or IPL, is a phenomenon that defies easy description. Picture 10 city franchises from across India, packed with the greatest cricket players on the planet – from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the brightest young talents emerging on the scene. Every IPL match is a major event that draws millions of viewers worldwide, including right here in Malaysia.
At Royal Bet, the IPL season is the most active period for cricket betting. We offer over 200 markets for every IPL match – from straightforward markets like match winner, to specialist markets such as the number of sixes in the Power Play or whether a Super Over will be needed. This gives Malaysian players a wide range of options to bet according to their own knowledge and strategy.

A Beginner's Guide to Cricket Betting
For cricket fans looking to try betting for the first time, there's no need to worry. Cricket is actually one of the most enjoyable sports to bet on, thanks to the sheer variety of markets available and the ability to put your sporting knowledge to direct use.
Start with the simplest market – "Match Winner". It's the most straightforward bet: pick the team you think will win, and if you're right, you win. From there, you can begin exploring more specific markets like Top Batsman or Total Runs once you're more comfortable with the platform.
One important tip: in T20, match momentum can shift in an instant. A team that looks to be cruising can suddenly come under pressure when wickets fall in quick succession. This is what makes live cricket betting so thrilling – and also why a solid understanding of the game gives you a significant edge when making real-time betting decisions on Royal Bet.
