About Cricket Betting
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it is a shared national language. Office workers in Defence Lahore, students in Faisalabad hostels, and shop owners in Karachi's Saddar bazaar all stop everything when Pakistan steps onto the field. 98par was built with this reality at its core, designing a cricket betting experience that feels native to Pakistani players rather than adapted from a foreign template.
The most immediate difference players notice is the currency. Every odds line, every stake input, every winning payout on 98par is denominated in PKR. You never need to convert from British pounds or US dollars — what you see is exactly what lands in your wallet. When Pakistan beats India in a T20 World Cup match at 1.85 odds and you had PKR 5,000 on it, the PKR 9,250 return is in your account within minutes.
The depth of markets at 98par sets it apart from smaller regional bookmakers. A standard international match will carry upwards of 50 betting markets — match winner, toss winner, top batsman, top bowler, over/under run totals, method of first dismissal, partnership runs, player performance specials, and a full suite of live in-play propositions that update ball by ball during active play. PSL fixtures receive the same level of market depth as international fixtures, which is a deliberate choice by 98par to cater to the fact that PSL betting is often higher in volume among Pakistani users than even ICC Test cricket.
98par enforces a strict 21+ age policy on all betting activities. The platform is backed by an internationally recognised gaming licence and operates under responsible gaming standards including deposit limits, session time reminders, and self-exclusion tools. Whether you are a casual match-day bettor or a dedicated cricket analyst placing high-value outright bets, the platform provides the infrastructure and safeguards to keep the experience enjoyable and controlled.

Markets Explained
From simple match-winner picks to granular ball-by-ball propositions, here is a full breakdown of what you will find in the 98par cricket betting section.
Match Winner
Pick which team wins the match. Available across all formats — Test (including draw option), ODI, and T20. The foundation of cricket betting and the starting point for most 98par users.
Toss Winner
A 50/50 proposition that settles within the first minute of a match. Popular as a quick-resolution bet among Pakistani players who want immediate action regardless of the game result.
Top Batsman & Top Bowler
Bet on which player will score the most runs or take the most wickets in the match or innings. High-knowledge markets where studying form and conditions delivers real edge.
Over / Under Run Totals
Bet on whether a team's innings total or a specific over's run count will go over or under a set line. One of the most active live betting markets at 98par during T20 matches.
Ball-by-Ball Live Betting
Bet on the outcome of the very next delivery — dot ball, boundary, wicket, wide. Live odds refresh in real time at 98par. The most immersive cricket betting format available on the platform.
Tournament Outright
Back your team to win the PSL, T20 World Cup, or any other tournament before it begins. Early-market outright odds at 98par often carry the best value before major favourites emerge.
Innings Runs & Handicap
Handicap markets adjust the run margin between teams to create more balanced odds. Particularly useful when a strong Pakistan side faces a lower-ranked opponent in a bilateral series.
Accumulator Bets
Combine multiple cricket selections — a PSL match winner, a top batsman pick, and an ODI result — into one multi-bet slip for multiplied potential returns on 98par.
Cash Out
Settle your bet before a match ends based on current odds movement. Lock in a partial profit if your team is winning, or cut losses if the match turns. Available on selected 98par cricket markets.

Getting Started
Visit the 98par Login page and sign in. All users must be 21 or older to place bets. New registrations complete within two minutes with CNIC-based verification for Pakistani users.
Navigate to the Cashier section and select your preferred deposit method. JazzCash and EasyPaisa top-ups are instant with a minimum of PKR 100. HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank transfers accommodate larger pre-match or outright deposits.
From the main menu, select Cricket. Upcoming matches are listed chronologically. PSL fixtures appear at the top during the tournament, followed by international fixtures and other league games.
Click on any match to expand the full list of available markets. Select the outcome you want — match winner, top batsman, over/under total, or a live ball-by-ball proposition — and it is added to your bet slip instantly.
Type your stake in PKR. Potential winnings are calculated in real time on the slip. Review and confirm. Winnings settle to your 98par wallet as soon as the relevant market closes — often within minutes of a T20 ending.
Deposits for Cricket Betting
Every payment method at 98par is built around what Pakistani players actually use. JazzCash leads the pack — its near-universal penetration across Pakistan means players in Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and smaller cities can top up their betting wallet just as easily as those in Karachi or Lahore. The transaction is instant, fee-free, and reflected in the 98par balance before the toss even happens.
EasyPaisa is equally seamless and remains the preferred method for a large segment of 98par cricket bettors, particularly those who rely on EasyPaisa mobile accounts rather than linked bank accounts. For players depositing larger amounts ahead of a PSL final or an ICC World Cup outright market, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank transfers provide the headroom for high-value bets without daily wallet limits becoming a friction point.
Withdrawals follow the same rails — winnings come back to the same wallet or account that funded the deposit, typically processed within 24 hours for standard amounts and same-day for regular 98par users with verified accounts.
PSL and international Pakistan matches often see odds shift significantly in the hour before toss — especially when pitch reports and playing XI announcements drop. Experienced 98par bettors monitor these developments and place pre-match bets in that window to catch line movement before the market tightens at toss time.
Cricket Culture & Betting
Pakistan has produced some of the greatest cricketers the world has ever seen — Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Javed Miandad, Shahid Afridi, and Babar Azam among them. That legacy creates a fan base that does not merely watch cricket but analyses it with forensic detail. Team selections, pitch conditions at Gaddafi Stadium versus the National Stadium in Karachi, powerplay strategies, tail-end batting depth — Pakistani fans debate these nuances with genuine expertise. 98par builds its market offerings around this knowledge, providing enough market granularity that informed bettors can act on what they know.
The PSL has been transformational. Before its launch, Pakistani fans primarily bet on international fixtures. The league gave them a domestic product with Pakistani stars, Pakistani venues, and intensely local rivalries — the Lahore versus Karachi dynamic alone generates some of the highest betting volumes of any franchise cricket fixture on 98par during the tournament window. The six-team format means every team plays every other team multiple times, giving bettors plenty of opportunities to assess head-to-head records, venue-specific form, and player matchup data before committing a stake.
Live betting deserves special mention in the context of Pakistani cricket fans. The ball-by-ball nature of cricket lends itself to in-play wagering better than almost any other sport. A single over can completely change the narrative of a T20 match — a batting collapse, a dropped catch that reprieved a set batsman, or two back-to-back sixes in the death overs that reset the run-rate equation. 98par's live markets respond to these moments in real time, and the platform's ball-by-ball betting feature lets users place single-delivery wagers that resolve within seconds, making for an intensely engaging viewing and betting experience during peak match hours.
Responsible gaming is built into the fabric of how 98par presents cricket betting. The platform enforces a 21+ age requirement without exception, displays responsible gaming reminders during extended session usage, and offers deposit limits that users can set at account level. The cricket section is entertainment — a way to add an extra dimension of engagement to a match you are already watching — and 98par is committed to making sure it stays that way for every user on the platform.
Bet Responsibly. Cricket betting at 98par is for entertainment. Always set a session budget before you start and never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose. 21+ age requirement is strictly enforced. Self-exclusion and deposit-limit tools are available to all users.
