Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it is a shared obsession that runs from the streets of Lahore to the drawing rooms of Karachi, from the tea stalls of Faisalabad to the university canteens of Islamabad. At 97bet, we have built a cricket betting experience that genuinely honours that passion: deep markets, live in-play odds, PSL coverage, and a platform that loads fast even on a basic 4G connection.
Whether it is Pakistan vs India at the ICC Champions Trophy, a PSL final going down to the last ball, or a mid-week Test that you have been tracking all five days — 97bet has the market for it, and the odds are competitive.
When 97bet set out to build its cricket betting section, the brief was simple: design it for a Pakistani cricket fan who knows the game inside out and deserves a platform that matches their knowledge. That means more than just match-winner odds. It means ball-by-ball markets, over-by-over run totals, individual player performance bets, and live in-play action that updates in real time as the match progresses.
The 97bet cricket lobby covers every format of the game. Test matches get full five-day coverage with session betting, day-run totals, and innings-specific markets. One-Day Internationals (ODIs) have powerplay specials, 50-over total run markets, and fall-of-wicket betting. T20 matches — the format Pakistan has historically dominated — carry the widest range of markets, including six-hit counts per innings, dot ball percentages, and individual over totals.
PSL gets its own dedicated section within the 97bet cricket lobby. Every fixture across the group stage, playoffs, and final is listed with pre-match and live markets. During PSL season, 97bet also runs special bonus offers tied directly to match outcomes — think enhanced odds on Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars fixtures, or cashback offers if your team wins by fewer than ten runs.
Beyond Pakistan domestic cricket, 97bet covers major international tournaments: ICC World Test Championship, ICC ODI World Cup cycles, Asia Cup, Champions Trophy, and all bilateral series featuring Pakistan, India, Australia, England, and the other top-ranked Test nations.
From simple match-winner bets to ball-by-ball in-play specials — here is what the 97bet cricket lobby covers across all formats.
The foundation of cricket betting. Pick the match winner outright, or back a team to win the series. 97bet offers competitive margins on Pakistan bilateral series and all ICC events.
Predict whether the combined or individual innings run total will go over or under a set line. Powerplay-specific run lines and over-by-over totals are also available on major T20 matches.
Back a specific player to be the top scorer or leading wicket-taker in an innings or match. Especially popular for PSL fixtures where Pakistani fans follow individual performers closely.
97bet's in-play cricket markets update ball by ball. Bet on the next wicket, runs off the next over, method of next dismissal, or whether a boundary comes in the next five deliveries.
Bet on how many runs will be scored in a pre-lunch session, a tea-to-close session, or across a full day's play. A favourite among Pakistani Test match fans who follow five-day cricket closely.
Back Pakistan (or any other team) to win the ICC World Cup, Asia Cup, or PSL title before the tournament begins. Outright prices are available throughout the season at 97bet.
The Pakistan Super League is the crown jewel of Pakistani cricket, and 97bet treats it accordingly. When PSL season rolls around — usually from February through March — the 97bet cricket lobby goes into a different gear. Pre-season outright markets open weeks before the first ball is bowled, letting you back your favourite franchise at the best possible price before the odds compress.
During the tournament, every match carries a full suite of markets. Typical PSL match coverage at 97bet includes over 80 individual betting options: match winner, total sixes, team total runs, top team batsman, leading wicket-taker, method of first dismissal, innings runs in the powerplay, and a live in-play feed that keeps pace with every delivery.
The rivalries matter, too. Karachi Kings versus Lahore Qalandars fixtures attract the most betting volume of any PSL match — and 97bet often offers enhanced odds or a special acca boost specifically for these high-profile clashes. Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi fixtures are close behind, especially when they meet in the knockout stages.
PSL pitches vary significantly between Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan. A high total at the National Stadium might be a modest score at Gaddafi Stadium. Factor pitch conditions into your total runs bets — 97bet displays venue details on every fixture listing.

A few practical pointers to help you make more considered bets on 97bet's cricket markets.
Pakistani pitches — especially Karachi's National Stadium — can be dramatically different in the first session versus the final overs. Toss results often shift the match-winner market by 10–15%. Always check before betting on totals.
97bet's live cricket markets update ball by ball. If a key batsman gets out in the first over and the odds haven't fully shifted yet, there can be value in backing the opposition immediately in-play. React fast — markets re-price quickly.
Pakistan frequently rotates its squad for bilateral series. A top batsman resting can swing a total runs line by 15+ runs. Check 97bet's match centre for confirmed XI updates before markets close — usually within 30 minutes of the toss.
Set a weekly betting budget in PKR before the week starts. 97bet's responsible gaming tools let you set deposit limits directly from your account settings — a smart way to keep betting fun rather than stressful.
Tournament outright prices — especially for Pakistan in ICC events — tend to compress as the competition draws near and more money comes in. If you fancy Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or World Cup, place your outright at 97bet early for the best price.
T20, ODI, and Test cricket are three very different betting games. Pakistani bettors who focus on PSL and T20 internationals tend to perform better than those who spread across all formats without tailored knowledge. Depth beats breadth.
From the first ball of a PSL group game to the final over of an ICC knockout, 97bet has every cricket market covered. Join thousands of Pakistani cricket fans who bet with us every matchday.
