Cricket in Malaysia — A Sport That's Winning Hearts
Cricket might not be the first sport that comes to mind when you think of Malaysia — most people think football, badminton, or hockey. But the truth is, cricket has had deep roots here for a long time, a legacy of the British colonial era that left behind far more than just laws and infrastructure. Today, with platforms like 99 laju that provides comprehensive cricket markets, interest in the sport is growing steadily — especially among young Malaysians who have been exposed to the IPL and T20 World Cup.
What makes cricket particularly exciting from a Sports Betting perspective is the sheer depth of markets on offer. Unlike football where most bets revolve around win/draw/lose, cricket delivers dozens of different markets within a single match. At 99 laju, we offer over 40 markets for every IPL or international T20 match — from Top Batsman and Top Bowler to Powerplay Score, Total Wickets, and even runs scored in a specific over.
Why IPL Is the Best Cricket League for Betting
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most-watched T20 league in the world, and it is also the most popular cricket league to bet on at 99 laju. The reason is straightforward — nearly every IPL squad is stacked with world-class star players. This means each match is relatively evenly matched in terms of firepower, making the odds more competitive and upsets more likely. For bettors who enjoy hunting for value in cricket betting markets, the IPL is the best place to start.
Malaysian Cricket — Backing Your Own Team
Malaysia's national cricket team is on a rapid rise. Across lower-tier ACC Asia Cup competitions and ICC World Cricket League tournaments, Malaysia has been putting in increasingly strong performances. At 99 laju, we are proud to offer markets for Malaysian national team matches — giving local fans the chance to support their own side while having a shot at winning. The KL Cricket Stadium in Kinrara is a historic venue that has witnessed many landmark victories for Malaysia.
