From fast-paced short formats to gruelling 5-day Tests – all major cricket formats are covered here.
The most popular and exciting format in the game. Each team faces just 20 overs — fast-paced action, plenty of sixes, and results that can swing right up to the last ball. IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, and the Big Bash League all use this format.
The 50-over format that has been the backbone of international cricket for decades. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in ODI format. It demands more strategy and endurance than T20.
The highest form of cricket, played over 5 days. Test Cricket is the ultimate test of a player's technical, mental, and physical skills. It's the most complex format to bet on — but also the most rewarding when your analysis proves correct.
The world's most popular and prestigious cricket league. Every IPL season brings together the finest players from across the globe. At NewSky88, we offer the most comprehensive odds and markets for every IPL match.
Asia's premier cricket tournament, bringing together the region's top teams — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and more. Fierce competition packed with dramatic moments.

Improve your chances of winning by understanding the key factors in cricket before placing your bets at NewSky88.
A dry, hard pitch favours batsmen and high run tallies. A green, damp pitch gives bowlers the upper hand. Always check the pitch report before betting at NewSky88 — it's a factor many new players overlook.
Some teams have historically dominated certain opponents despite having a lower ranking. Check the head-to-head record between the two sides in the same format and venue for more reliable guidance.
Rain can completely change the outcome of a match through the DLS method. Check the latest weather forecast before placing a big bet. For rain-affected matches, consider in-play betting at NewSky88.
The absence of a key player can completely shift a team's chances. Always wait for the official Playing XI announcement before placing your final bets, especially for IPL matches.
In-play betting in cricket opens up a wealth of opportunities. When the underdog starts to gain momentum, odds shift quickly on NewSky88 — stat-savvy players can find great value in those moments.
At many stadiums, teams that win the toss and choose to bat first tend to have a better win record. This is especially significant in T20 matches played on grounds with a high dew factor at night.

Cricket may not be the first sport that comes to mind in Malaysia — the Super League and our celebrated badminton tradition tend to steal the spotlight. Yet cricket is growing fast in the country, particularly among the Malaysian Indian community and international sports fans who follow the IPL with great passion.
In Malaysia, you'd be hard-pressed to find a mamak with a TV that isn't showing an IPL match during the season. The atmosphere — teh tarik in hand while watching Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni in action — is a quintessentially Malaysian experience. And with NewSky88, you can now make it even more exciting by betting on your favourite team.
There are plenty of betting platforms out there, but NewSky88 stands out for reasons that matter to Malaysian players. Our platform offers over 50 betting markets per IPL and ICC match – going well beyond "who wins" to include detailed markets like powerplay run totals, sixes in a single over, or which player will hit the first half-century.
On top of that, the odds at NewSky88 are competitive and updated in real time. When something happens in the match — a key batsman gets out, or a team starts losing wickets in quick succession — the odds shift rapidly. Players who follow the action closely can capitalise on these swings with well-timed in-play bets.
Key Tip: In the IPL, statistics show that teams winning the toss and choosing to field under lights (night matches) tend to perform better, as dew makes the ball slippery and harder for bowlers to grip. Factor this into your in-play betting strategy at NewSky88.
