Pakistan's favourite sport meets Pakistan's most trusted betting platform. Bet on PSL, international T20s, ODIs and Test series at 9ab with real-time in-play odds, deep market selection and instant PKR withdrawals via JazzCash and Easypaisa.
Ask anyone in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad or Rawalpindi what their favourite sport is and you already know the answer. Cricket is woven into the fabric of Pakistani life — from gully matches on a quiet residential street to roaring stadium crowds cheering every boundary. At 9ab, the cricket betting section is designed with exactly that passion in mind.
Whether you are backing Pakistan to win a high-stakes T20 International, placing an accumulator across three PSL fixtures on a Friday night, or digging into session betting on a five-day Test match, the 9ab cricket platform has the markets, odds and live data tools to make your experience worthwhile.
Unlike some offshore platforms that treat cricket as a secondary offering, 9ab places cricket at the centre of its sportsbook. The markets are wide, the odds are competitive, and the live in-play interface updates ball by ball so you can react in real time as the match unfolds. Combine that with same-day PKR withdrawals via JazzCash or Easypaisa and it is easy to see why thousands of Pakistani cricket fans have made 9ab their platform of choice.
As always, cricket betting on 9ab is intended as entertainment. Players must be 18 or over, and we strongly encourage responsible use of deposit limits and self-exclusion tools available in your account settings.
From a ten-over blast to a five-day battle — every format has its own betting flavour
The shortest and most explosive format. 9ab offers pre-match, in-play and ball-by-ball markets for every Pakistan T20 International and all PSL fixtures throughout the season. Popular markets include match winner, highest opening partnership, total sixes, and method of dismissal for the first wicket.
50-over cricket offers a longer canvas with more strategic betting opportunities. Series winner, individual match winner, top run scorer across the series, and innings-level markets like total boundaries and highest partnership are all available on 9ab for major bilateral ODI series featuring Pakistan.
Test cricket rewards the patient, knowledgeable bettor. 9ab covers major Test series with session betting (most runs in the morning session), innings totals, method of dismissal, top batsman and bowler per innings, and match result markets that account for draws. A deeper cricket fan's paradise.

The most exciting way to bet on cricket is while the match is happening. 9ab's in-play cricket interface updates odds automatically after every delivery — so if a big wicket falls in the fifth over or Pakistan loses three quick ones in the death overs, the market re-prices instantly and a new betting opportunity presents itself.
In-play markets available during live cricket include: next wicket method, runs in the current over (Over/Under), whether the next ball will be a wide or no-ball, current batsman total runs (Under/Over), and live match winner odds that swing with every run and wicket.
The 9ab live interface is mobile-optimised, meaning if you are watching the match with friends in Karachi or at a dhaba in Lahore with mobile data, the page loads quickly and bet placement is just two taps away. Cash-out functionality is available on selected in-play markets, letting you lock in a profit before the final over if the game is going your way.
The Pakistan Super League is without doubt the biggest cricket betting event of the year for Pakistani fans on 9ab. From the opening fixture of the group stage right through to the final, 9ab keeps the PSL markets running continuously with enhanced odds promotions, accumulator specials and player prop markets that you will not find on most international sportsbooks.
PSL-specific markets on 9ab include: tournament winner (outright), top run scorer of the tournament, top wicket-taker, individual franchise match results, innings powerplay runs (first 6 overs), total boundaries per match, and whether a specific player will score a fifty or century in a given fixture.
The six PSL franchises — Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, Peshawar Zalmi, Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans — each have their passionate fan bases across the country. 9ab adds to that excitement by offering head-to-head comparison markets, rivalry specials for classic PSL matchups, and same-match multiples that let you combine several selections from the same game on a single betting slip.
For the biggest PSL matches, 9ab occasionally offers a price boost on Pakistan's star players — watch the promotions tab in your account to catch these limited-time offers before kick-off.

Research-backed habits that sharpen your cricket betting approach on 9ab
Pakistan's pitches — from the slow, turning wickets of Lahore to the flatter surfaces of Karachi — heavily influence match totals and the value of pace vs spin bowler markets. A bit of pre-match research on pitch type changes what bet makes sense.
In T20 cricket especially, chasing teams often hold an advantage under lights at venues like Lahore or Karachi. If Pakistan wins the toss and chooses to bowl first, it can shift live match-winner odds immediately — watch for that movement on the 9ab in-play board.
A key bowler ruled out through injury significantly affects pace bowling markets and total runs over/under lines. Follow the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announcements and verified cricket journalists before placing your bets on 9ab.
If your pre-match bet is in a comfortable position at the halfway point, cashing out locks in profit. Conversely, if the match has swung against you, partial cash out reduces your liability. Use 9ab's cash out feature as a risk management tool, not a panic button.
Karachi Kings tend to favour the National Stadium's pace-friendly surface. Lahore Qalandars perform strongly at Gaddafi Stadium. Home-ground advantages matter in PSL and can help identify value in the match-winner market on 9ab.
Even the most passionate cricket fan should cap how much they bet on a single match. Decide your stake before the match starts and do not increase it in-play out of excitement or frustration. 9ab's responsible gaming tools help enforce this automatically.
