From Karachi Kings to the national side, 98ab covers every match that matters to Pakistani fans. Real-time odds, in-play betting, and instant PKR payouts — all in one place.
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it's a shared obsession that spans Karachi's Defence Housing Authority all the way to the narrow gullies of Faisalabad. When Babar Azam walks out to bat at the National Stadium or the PSL season kicks off under Lahore's floodlights, millions of Pakistanis are watching with more than just emotion invested. 98ab is built for exactly those moments.
The 98ab cricket betting platform covers every format and every major tournament that Pakistani fans actually care about. PSL is the centrepiece — all franchise matches are available with full pre-match and in-play markets from the moment the toss is announced. Beyond that, 98ab offers comprehensive coverage of Pakistan national team fixtures across Test, ODI, and T20I formats, plus the ICC World Cup, Asia Cup, and international bilateral series.
98ab lists over 200 betting markets per match for top fixtures — from match winner and top run-scorer to ball-by-ball predictions on individual deliveries during live play.
What separates 98ab from generic international betting sites is the local depth. Odds are displayed in decimal format with PKR as the native currency, so you never have to do currency conversions in your head. Deposits go in via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, or Meezan Bank — whichever is already on your phone. Withdrawals hit your JazzCash or EasyPaisa wallet in minutes after a bet settles, not days.
The in-play cricket experience on 98ab is where the platform really earns its reputation. Odds update in real time as overs progress, wickets fall, and match situations shift. During PSL games and Pakistan international fixtures, the 98ab live betting lobby typically carries dozens of open markets simultaneously — you can bet on the current over's runs total while simultaneously having a position open on the match winner and the next method of dismissal. That kind of layered in-play flexibility is what players in Lahore and Islamabad use to turn their cricket knowledge into an edge.
98ab operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence. All cricket odds are sourced from verified market feeds, and payouts are processed through audited systems to ensure accuracy and fairness.
New 98ab users registering to bet on cricket can access welcome promotions that apply to their first deposit — boosting the initial bankroll available for PSL and international match betting. Terms and wagering conditions apply, and all promotions are visible inside your 98ab account dashboard once you log in. The platform also runs seasonal cricket promotions during peak events like the PSL playoffs and ICC tournaments, giving regular players additional value at the moments they're most engaged.
From simple match-winner bets to ball-by-ball in-play predictions — here's what you can bet on.
The core cricket bet — pick the winning team before or during the match. Available for all formats and all 98ab-covered tournaments including PSL and Pakistan internationals.
Pre-match In-play Cash OutPredict which player scores the most runs for their team in the innings. One of the most popular 98ab cricket markets during PSL — especially when premium batters are in form.
Per Innings Both TeamsBet on which bowler takes the most wickets in the match or innings. Particularly sharp odds are available on Pakistan's pace attack in home conditions and during ICC events.
Per Innings MatchBet whether the total runs scored — by a team or across the full match — will be over or under the 98ab line. One of the highest-volume markets during live T20 innings.
Team Total Match Total Per OverPredict how the next wicket will fall — caught, bowled, LBW, run out, or stumped. A pure in-play market that 98ab keeps open ball-by-ball during live matches.
In-play Only Ball-by-ballSpecific player props — will a batter hit a half-century, will a bowler take 3+ wickets, will a fielder take 2+ catches. 98ab offers these markets for key players in all major fixtures.
Milestones Wickets RunsSimple coin-flip market — predict the toss result before the match begins. Often used as a warm-up bet by Pakistani players before they commit to bigger match positions on 98ab.
Pre-match ~1.91×Predict the player who receives the official MOTM award at full time. Carries higher odds than match-winner bets — a great value market when a dominant performer is highly likely.
Full Match Higher OddsLong-form betting on who wins a bilateral series or tournament outright. 98ab keeps PSL outright winner markets open from the group stage all the way through to the final.

These aren't guaranteed systems — cricket is unpredictable by nature. These are practical approaches experienced 98ab bettors use to stay disciplined and informed.
Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium plays very differently from the National Stadium in Karachi or Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Before placing total runs bets on 98ab, check historical scoring patterns at the venue. Spin-friendly pitches compress scores; flat tracks inflate them dramatically.
Dew factor in Pakistani evening T20s significantly advantages the chasing team. If there's heavy dew forecast for a PSL night game and the toss winner elects to field, the match winner odds on 98ab often shift — sometimes creating value before the toss is even taken.
PSL playing XIs are often confirmed less than an hour before a match. Monitoring 98ab's odds movement after lineup announcements can reveal how the market is reacting to key inclusions or absences — a useful signal before you commit your stake.
Set a fixed betting budget per match and stick to it regardless of form. Experienced 98ab players typically risk no more than 2–5% of their total balance on any single cricket market. This lets you stay active across the full PSL season without blowing out on one bad result.
