The 21st century has become a real rebirth of cricket. This classic game, invented in the English countryside, has long conquered both the British Isles and the Commonwealth countries. However, today huge communities of cricket fans and real professionals of this game can be found in almost every corner of the globe.
And the growth of interest in cricket does not subside. What is the matter? The reason is the update of the rules adopted in 2003. Throughout history, cricket matches lasted for several days - and these were quite grueling tests for both teams and fans, which forced cricket to remain in the shadows. However, since 1971, a new format for holding matches involves restrictions on the timing of matches - first the duration was reduced to one day, and then, already in the 21st century, revolutionary regulations were established: a limit of 20 overs from each team.
This is how the Twenty20 format appeared, or simply T20 - an abbreviation known to everyone who has ever looked at a cricket match schedule. Today, a huge number of team meetings on the planet are held according to this scheme, which has made it possible to reduce the usually multi-day games to a couple of hours.
This “new” cricket has been appreciated by everyone: over the past 20 years, many new professional teams have appeared in the sport, many fields and grand cricket arenas have been added in different countries, and the community of people interested in this sport has also grown to many millions around the world. Since 2023, the IOC has even returned cricket to the Olympic program. And thanks to the current spread of online betting possibilities, cricket fans have also received a good opportunity to earn money on their favorite pastime.

The betting odds are the probability indicator that the bookmaker has determined for a particular event. The lower the probability, the higher the odds - and the higher the final payout to the client if the bet wins.
Each market (- a statement about the game on which the bet is made) has its own odds, which the bookmaker updates from time to time, with the emergence of new information. For example, a new press release of the Indian Premier League will definitely affect all matches by IPL cricket betting odds, so it is important for an analyst not only to follow the athletes themselves, but also the information space.
The number of markets offered for a match is one of the main indicators of the professionalism of a bookmaker. MelBet Indonesia tries to offer the widest possible action line for each match - from tens to several hundred markets.
Markets can have different themes and directions, be more or less predictable. They can be conditionally divided into several categories:
main markets - intuitive outcomes, a great choice for beginners: for example, the winner of the match, the probability of a draw, the winner of the super over, etc. In the list of markets, such options are at the top;
cricket bet on totals - here you need to predict specific numbers: the total of runs in a match, innings or in the first N overs, in the best over of the team, etc.;
cricket betting odds on field events - the probabilities of various bounties, taking wickets in an over, methods of removing batsmen from the game;
cricket betting on players - require predicting the actions of individual team members, or their final personal results; perfect for those who are familiar with the squad and know the habits and strengths of the athletes;
express markets - are combinations of a pair of individual markets with increased odds; the bet goes through if both events come true;
You can switch between market categories on the match page, in the strip above the list of markets. Please note that during the match, when the odds are recalculated after changes in the situation on the field, the ability to place a bet in Live may be blocked for several seconds.
Special MelBet tools will help you track changes and the direction of the odds movement - quickly assess the probabilities thanks to color highlighting and graphs. For Live matches, you can also use quick and clear statistical summaries (see the header of the event page) to make your decision easier.
MelBet offers cricket betting in both pre-match and Live formats. The first type must be made in advance, before the match starts. Such bets are called Line bets, and their acceptance stops shortly before the start of the game.
With the second type, everything is the opposite. The dynamic Live betting market opens only at the same time as the first bowl. Here you need to bet based directly on what is happening on the field, and not on preliminary information, as is the case with Line bets. On the one hand, in Live, the bettor has a lot of information, on the other hand, there is no time to hesitate, since the chance to place a bet with good odds can be very easy to miss, due to their constant change.
After the end of the Line betting in cricket acceptance, the match will automatically appear in the Live category if bets of this format are available for it. To find a specific match to place your bet, use the search by entering the name of the tournament or the participating team. Or browse all available options by activating the Cricket filter on the sidebar.
Clicking on the name of the participating teams will take you to the match page. All possible types of bets on the match are displayed here - from a simple bet on the winner to bets on the total runs, wickets, the performance of individual innings, the winner of the super over and many other options. MelBet offers an exclusively wide and detailed action line that will satisfy the needs of even the most professional cappers.
To proceed to online betting cricket, you need to click on the button with the outcome you want to bet on. Its odds are displayed under the outcome description. After that, in the side window for setting up the coupon, select the desired bet amount and confirm the transaction. The bookmaker also always allows you to form an accumulator bet: collect events from different matches (not necessarily the same sport) in one coupon and multiply the odds from different events to maximize the prize.

You have opened the list of events in the cricket section, but do not know what to choose, and how the games differ from each other? Let's figure it out together. So, there are three main formats of cricket matches:
Test cricket is literally a real test, an exam for teams (hence the name), lasting several days. Their main tournament is the oldest ICC World Test Championship, held every two years. There are also long-term series of matches between different countries, for example, The Ashes (Britain-Australia) or Border-Gavaskar (Australia-India).
ODI, or One Day International - currently holding the leading position among cricket formats. The main ODI tournament is called laconically - Cricket World Cup, and is held every 4 years. In between, you can watch the no less spectacular ICC Champions Trophy.
Twenty20 - new, fashionable, dynamic. The matches last for several hours, the main international event is the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, although fans of T20 cricket betting note that the Indian IPL or Australian Big Bash League are no less spectacular.
Indonesian viewers will definitely be interested in the Asia Cup, which is probably the main regional cricket tournament. And remember: no matter what format of cricket you like, no matter what tournament you are a fan of, MelBet always shares your love - and is ready to root for every run together with you.
