Why Does Cricket Resonate So Strongly with Malaysian Users?
Cricket is no stranger to Malaysians — it has long been woven into the fabric of South Asian communities that have called this country home for generations, particularly in areas like Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur, Klang, and parts of Penang. Cricket enthusiasm in Malaysia has grown further with the widespread availability of live IPL broadcasts and international tournaments, now easily accessible through digital platforms.
For 40160 users, interest in cricket goes beyond just watching — they want to track live betting odds as the match unfolds, choose the most relevant markets, and get instant feedback on the outcome of each over. The Cricket section at 40160 is built to meet these needs, with an interface that's easy to read even on a smaller mobile screen.
The IPL season in particular is the busiest period for the Cricket section on this platform, with teams from across India competing in the fast-paced, action-packed T20 format. Beyond IPL, 40160 also offers markets for ICC World Cup matches and bilateral series such as India vs Australia, England vs Pakistan, and more — making it a comprehensive cricket destination for Malaysian users who follow the sport seriously.

Cricket Terms Every Fan Should Know
Understanding key cricket terms will help you read the markets with more confidence and make more informed betting decisions. Below are the terms you'll encounter most often in the Cricket section on 40160.
Over
An "over" in cricket consists of six balls delivered by a single bowler. In T20 format, each team faces 20 overs (120 balls in total), while ODI matches use 50 overs per side. Over-based markets — such as total runs in the first 6 overs — are among the most popular because results come quickly without having to wait for the full match to conclude.
Wicket
A wicket refers to the dismissal of a batsman — whether the bowler hits the stumps, takes a catch, or dismisses the batter through other means under the laws of cricket. The "total wickets" market lets you predict how many opposition batsmen will be dismissed within a set period. This is a popular market among fans who closely follow bowler statistics.
Run Rate
Run rate is the average number of runs scored per over, calculated by dividing the total runs by the number of overs bowled. In in-play markets, the current run rate versus the required run rate is a key indicator of whether the batting team is well-placed or under pressure to chase the target.
Innings
An innings is a team's turn to bat. In T20 and ODI, each team plays one innings only, while in Test cricket each side can bat twice. Innings-based markets — such as "first innings score" or "first innings winner" — are particularly useful for players who want to place their bets early in the match before the situation shifts dramatically.
Toss
The toss is a coin flip that takes place before the match begins — the winning team chooses whether to bat or field first. In modern cricket, the toss outcome can provide a significant advantage, particularly on certain pitches or under specific weather conditions. Some platforms offer toss markets as an early betting option before the match gets underway, though this is entirely down to chance.
DLS Method
The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method is applied when a match is interrupted by rain or other external factors. The target for the second batting team is recalculated using a mathematical formula that accounts for remaining overs and wickets lost. In DLS situations, bets involving run totals or revised targets may be subject to special settlement rules as outlined in the platform's terms.
Two Key Concepts Before You Pick Your First Market
Match Winner Market
- How does it work?
- The match winner market is the most straightforward bet in cricket — you simply pick whether Team A or Team B will win the match. Unlike football, cricket rarely ends in a draw in T20 and ODI formats, as a super over is used to determine the winner if scores are tied. This means you always get a clear outcome — either a win or a loss.
- A quick example
- For example, in an IPL match between Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, you back Mumbai Indians to win at odds of 1.85. If Mumbai wins, every RM10 staked returns RM18.50 — a net profit of RM8.50. This is a great starting point for new cricket fans looking to try out the markets for the first time.
Top Player Markets (Top Batsman / Top Bowler)
- What does it mean?
- Top player markets let you predict which player in a team will score the most runs (top batsman) or take the most wickets (top bowler) in a given match. These markets are popular among fans who closely follow individual player stats, as knowledge of a player's current form can give you a real edge when making your pick.
- A simple example to illustrate
- Say Virat Kohli is in peak form this season, averaging 65 runs across his last 5 matches. You bet on him to be India's top batsman in the next match at odds of 3.20. If Kohli does end up scoring the most runs among his teammates, your bet wins — regardless of whether India wins or loses the match overall.
