Fd2 Cricket — IPL, ICC & T20 Markets for Malaysian Fans
This page covers everything you need to know about cricket betting on fd2 — match formats, market types, major tournaments, and how to follow live odds on your smartphone.
Understanding Cricket from Different Angles
Five most popular subtopics searched by new users and Malaysian cricket fans.
T20 Format — Fast, Compact, Intense
T20 is the most popular cricket format on betting platforms since each match finishes in about three hours. Each team plays 20 overs, making every ball crucial. IPL India, Australia’s BBL, and Pakistan’s PSL all use this format. fd2 users closely follow T20 markets due to rapidly changing odds during matches.
Test Match — Cricket in Its Purest Form
Test Match is the longest cricket format, lasting up to five days with two innings per team. Test Match markets differ from T20 — including draw options, daily results, and innings winners. Though slower paced, true cricket fans in Malaysia often follow the highly anticipated Ashes series between England and Australia.
ODI — Balancing Two Extremes
One Day International (ODI) gives each team 50 overs, a balanced format between the short T20 and long Test. The ICC Cricket World Cup uses the ODI format and is among the most watched sporting events worldwide. ODI markets include match winner, total runs, and individual player performance.
IPL — The Most Glamorous Cricket League
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most prestigious T20 cricket league watched worldwide, featuring players from nearly every country competing together. The IPL season runs from March to May annually and draws huge interest from Malaysian fans. fd2 covers markets for almost every IPL match including group stages, semifinals, and finals.
Individual Player Markets in Cricket
Beyond match winner markets, cricket offers a variety of player-based options. These include Top Batsman (highest scorer), Top Bowler (most wickets), and Man of the Match. These markets let you engage deeper with the game without relying solely on the team’s final result. Be sure to check the announced lineups before placing individual player bets.

Cricket Terms You Should Know
Six key terms you should know before placing your first cricket bet.
An over consists of six balls bowled by a single bowler. In T20, each team faces 20 overs. In ODI, each team has 50 overs. The runs scored per over impact total run markets and match momentum.
A wicket falls when a batsman is dismissed—whether by stumping, catching, bowling, or run out. Each team has 10 wickets. Total wicket markets predict how many wickets will fall during a match or innings.
Powerplay is a specific early phase in an innings with fielding restrictions allowing batsmen more scoring opportunities. In T20, the powerplay lasts for the first 6 overs. Teams’ performance during this period is often an early indicator for innings markets.
Run rate is the average runs scored per over, used to gauge whether a team is on track to meet or exceed their target. Required run rate refers to the average runs the chasing team needs to win.
The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method is used when matches are interrupted by rain or other factors. Targets are mathematically adjusted. Markets placed before weather interruptions may be settled based on DLS results if the match can’t be completed.
The toss is a coin flip before the match that decides which team bats or bowls first. Toss outcomes can significantly impact match results, especially on certain pitches. Toss markets are available on some platforms as light pre-match options.
Commonly Overlooked Points
Many new users don’t realize cricket markets may be subject to 'minimum overs' rules—meaning if the match stops before the required minimum overs, all bets may be voided and stakes refunded without any win or loss calculation.
Weather plays a major role in cricket, especially for matches in England, Ireland, or Australia during winter. Check the weather forecast for the match location before placing long-term bets. Markets set before rain may be settled using the DLS method, which can produce results different from what you expected.
