Real-time PSL odds, T20 international markets, ODI fixtures, and Test cricket — all in PKR at 98ab. The most complete cricket betting experience built for Pakistan.
Where Pakistan's passion for cricket meets real-money betting markets.
There is nowhere in the world where cricket runs deeper than Pakistan. Walk through the streets of Karachi on a PSL match night, and you'll feel it — the packed chai dhabas, the phones out, the running commentary that never stops. At 98ab, we've built a cricket betting platform that genuinely reflects how Pakistani fans engage with the sport. Not a generic sportsbook with cricket bolted on, but a dedicated cricket-first betting hub with deep markets, real-time odds, and the payment methods Pakistani players already use every day.
Whether you're tracking a PSL franchise battle at the National Stadium, a Pakistan vs India T20 showdown, or a Test series where every session carries weight, 98ab keeps you connected to the action through live odds that update ball-by-ball. Pre-match markets open well in advance of the toss, giving you time to research form, pitch conditions, head-to-head records, and team news before committing your stake. Once the game begins, live betting opens and the platform dynamically adjusts lines as the match unfolds.
Deposits at 98ab for cricket betting are fast and straightforward. JazzCash and Easypaisa are the most popular methods among Pakistani players — you can fund your account in minutes directly from your mobile wallet, no bank card required. HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Bank Alfalah are also fully supported. All balances are held in PKR, so there are no currency conversion surprises when you calculate your potential winnings or request a withdrawal.

Pakistan Super League — the heartbeat of cricket betting for Pakistani fans.
The Pakistan Super League is more than a domestic T20 competition — for millions of fans in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Multan, Quetta, and Peshawar, it is the event that defines the cricket calendar. PSL franchises carry fierce local pride, and that emotional investment translates directly into how Pakistani punters approach match betting. At 98ab, we take PSL coverage seriously: every group stage match, playoff, and final is fully covered with pre-match and live odds.
PSL-specific markets at 98ab include franchise winner outright markets that open at the start of each season, top run-scorer and top wicket-taker tournament props, and match-by-match markets that cover every individual fixture. During PSL live games, the in-play interface at 98ab updates odds after every delivery during critical phases — powerplays, middle overs when wickets fall, and the final slog overs when games can swing dramatically within a single over.
Illustrative live scoreboard — not a real match result.
Once a PSL match starts at 98ab, the pre-match odds are replaced by live in-play lines. These update continuously, reflecting the actual match situation:
T20, ODI, and Test — how the betting approach differs across formats at 98ab.
The fastest and most volatile format for bettors. A single over can flip the match winner odds from 2.0 to 1.3. PSL, Asia Cup T20, and T20 World Cup all fall here. Live betting is most intense in T20 — decisions need to be fast. Markets settle in under 4 hours.
50 overs per side, 8–10 hours of betting opportunity. ODI markets include innings totals, partnership milestones, and second-innings run-chase odds. Pakistan bilateral series and World Cup qualifying fixtures are the most popular ODI events at 98ab.
Five days, shifting momentum, and the deepest analysis required. Session betting, lead markets, and draw odds are unique to Test cricket. Pakistan's home Tests at Rawalpindi and Karachi attract strong market interest at 98ab, especially when the opposition is a top-ranked side.
Informed punters are better punters — guidelines for keeping cricket betting enjoyable at 98ab.
Cricket betting at 98ab is most enjoyable when approached as entertainment rather than a primary income source. Even the most knowledgeable cricket analyst — someone who follows PSL team squads, tracks Karachi pitch conditions, and studies bowling attack matchups in depth — cannot predict match outcomes with certainty. Cricket is inherently unpredictable: a rain interruption, an unexpected injury, a player rested at the last minute, or a simple catch dropped in the covers can overturn any pre-match analysis.
At 98ab, we encourage all players to use the responsible gaming tools available in their account settings. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that prevent you from funding your account beyond a pre-agreed budget. Session time reminders notify you when you've been betting continuously for an extended period. If you feel your cricket betting is getting out of hand — if you're chasing losses, betting on markets you don't understand, or using money set aside for household expenses — the self-exclusion tool allows you to temporarily or permanently restrict access to your account.
Cap your daily or weekly deposits in PKR. Limits apply immediately and can only be reduced instantly — increases require a cooling-off period.
Set a time alert that notifies you after a defined betting session duration. Taking breaks improves decision-making quality.
Temporarily or permanently close your 98ab account. This is the strongest protection tool and takes effect immediately when requested.
Set a maximum net loss threshold for a period. When reached, further betting is paused until the limit resets or is reviewed.
