From Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars to Test series at the Gaddafi Stadium — 98game covers every cricket match that matters to Pakistani fans, with real PKR odds and in-play markets that move ball by ball.
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it is practically a national religion. From street cricket in Faisalabad's gullies to the packed stands of Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium during a PSL final, the game runs deep in the culture. 98game was built with that reality in mind. The cricket betting section at 98game is not a generic sportsbook with a Pakistan flag stuck on top — it is a platform designed from the ground up for the Pakistani bettor: PKR-native odds, JazzCash and EasyPaisa deposits, deep PSL market coverage, and a live in-play interface that keeps pace with the actual game ball by ball.
The market depth on 98game's cricket section is genuinely impressive. A single PSL match can carry over 200 individual betting markets — from the straightforward match winner and first innings total, to more granular options like top runscorer, highest opening partnership, number of sixes in a specific over, and method of dismissal for named batters. For a Pakistani fan who watches every delivery and has a read on how a pitch is playing, this level of market variety is where real edge can exist.
International cricket is covered just as thoroughly. When Pakistan tours England or hosts Australia for a Test series, 98game carries pre-match, day-by-day, and session-level markets. T20 World Cup coverage on 98game spans every group game, not just the knockout rounds — which matters enormously for Pakistani fans who follow the full tournament arc rather than just Pakistan's own fixtures.
// LIVE BETTING NOTE: 98game's live cricket markets update within seconds of each delivery. Odds on match winner, next wicket method, and over/under run totals adjust in real time based on the match state. In-play betting is available from the first ball of each match through to the final delivery of the last over.
The payments story is the clearest differentiator. A bettor in Karachi can fund their 98game account with a Rs 100 JazzCash transfer and have it active within seconds. No bank wire delays, no international card rejection, no hidden conversion markup eating into your PKR balance. Winnings withdraw back to JazzCash or EasyPaisa just as quickly — most cricket bet settlements complete within 5 to 30 minutes of match close.
The interface deserves mention too. 98game's cricket betting section is organised by tournament — PSL sits at the top during the domestic season, followed by active international series. Match pages load quickly on standard Pakistani mobile data connections, and the live scoreboard embedded within the betting interface means you do not need a separate app open to track the game while you bet.
Whether you are backing the match result or digging into player props and over specials, 98game's cricket market depth covers every angle of the game.

The relationship between Pakistani fans and cricket betting has always been deep, but for a long time the platforms serving that interest were either inaccessible — requiring foreign bank cards or cryptocurrency — or simply not built with the Pakistani experience in mind. 98game changes that equation directly. It is an internationally licensed platform that has made PKR-native cricket betting the centrepiece of its offering for Pakistani users, not an afterthought.
New bettors often start with match winner markets and that is perfectly sensible — they are clean, easy to understand, and genuinely interesting when Pakistan is playing. But 98game's cricket section opens up considerably once you explore beyond the match result. Innings totals are among the most popular markets among experienced Pakistani bettors because they reward deep knowledge of a pitch — anyone who has followed Lahore's National Stadium or Karachi's NSK for years carries genuine insight into how surfaces play in different conditions.
Player prop markets are where PSL-specific knowledge delivers real edge. A bettor in Faisalabad who watches every Multan Sultans match has a sharper read on how a particular all-rounder performs in powerplay overs than any algorithm can easily replicate. 98game's top runscorer, top wicket-taker, and player milestone markets are where that local knowledge can translate into PKR returns.
PSL Tip: During PSL season, 98game frequently runs enhanced-odds promotions on marquee fixtures — particularly for Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, which draws the highest betting volumes on the platform among Pakistani users. Check the 98game promotions section before high-profile PSL nights for boosted match winner or top runscorer prices.
In-play cricket betting is where 98game's platform genuinely stands out. The live betting interface updates within seconds of each delivery — fast enough that a wicket-taking ball triggers fresh odds before the replays have finished on your TV. For Pakistani fans watching PSL on ARY or a Pakistan international on PTV Sports while simultaneously betting on 98game, this synchronisation between broadcast and live odds is a significant part of the appeal.
The most compelling live markets during a T20 are the over-by-over specials — betting on whether the next over will yield more or fewer than a stated run total given the current match state, pitch conditions, and bowler matchup. These markets close and reopen every six balls, creating a continuous rhythm of decision-making across a full T20 innings that keeps the session genuinely engaging from ball one to the last delivery.
The pace of live cricket betting — particularly during a PSL double-header — can make it easy to place more bets than planned. 98game's account settings include a deposit limit feature that allows you to cap weekly or monthly PKR inflows. Setting this limit before you start a cricket season is a practical way to keep the hobby enjoyable without overextending. The platform also offers a cooling-off period option if you feel you need a break from betting during a particularly intense tournament run.
98game is firm on the 21+ age requirement across all betting categories including cricket. The platform uses identity verification at registration and enforces this rule consistently. This is both a legal requirement under 98game's international operating licence and a responsible gaming commitment the platform takes seriously.
The PSL is the crown jewel of 98game's cricket calendar for Pakistani users, but the platform's international coverage is equally strong. Pakistan's bilateral series — whether touring England, hosting Australia, or competing in Asia Cup — receive the same depth of market treatment as the PSL. Test match betting carries its own distinct appeal on 98game: session betting, day-result markets, and innings handicaps give Test cricket a strategic betting dimension that T20 simply cannot replicate.
The T20 World Cup is 98game's biggest single international cricket event. Coverage spans every group stage fixture across all participating nations, with full live betting available throughout the tournament. For Pakistani fans who follow the full competition arc — tracking how other group results affect Pakistan's qualification scenario — the 98game cricket section becomes something close to a second screen companion for the entire tournament.
One practical detail that matters enormously for Pakistani cricket bettors: 98game's withdrawal speed. After a successful bet settlement — say, backing Pakistan to win and collecting on a clean result — the winnings sit in your 98game PKR wallet instantly. Initiating a withdrawal to JazzCash takes under a minute, and the transfer arrives in your mobile wallet within 5 to 30 minutes in most cases. During peak PSL nights when the platform is processing high volumes, 98game's stated processing window extends to a maximum of two hours, which remains fast relative to any platform requiring bank transfers.
For larger withdrawals — Rs 50,000 and above — 98game may request additional identity verification as part of its compliance framework. This is standard practice for internationally licensed platforms and should be expected. Having your CNIC details current in your 98game account profile avoids any delays when a big cricket bet comes good.
