ds88play offers over 100 betting markets per major cricket match. Whether you want a simple match winner or a ball-by-ball prediction, there's something for every level of cricket bettor in the Philippines.
The most popular cricket bet — pick which team wins the match. Available for T20s, ODIs, and Test matches. For Tests, a Draw option is also included in the market.
Predict which team wins the pre-match coin toss. A 50/50 market with typically equal odds — simple, quick, and available from match preview until toss time.
Bet on which player scores the most runs for their team in the match or innings. Includes all listed players from both squads. High-value odds especially for star players.
Pick which bowler takes the most wickets in the match. A great market when you know a spinner is likely to dominate or a pace bowler is in form on a fast pitch.
Bet whether the total runs scored in an innings or full match will be over or under a specified line set by ds88play. Available per over as well as for full match totals.
Will a batsman score a fifty? Will a bowler take a five-wicket haul? These prop bets focus on individual player milestones and are especially popular during IPL season.
ds88play updates live markets ball by ball during matches. Bet on the next wicket, next over runs, or current over score while the action unfolds in real time.
Place a bet on which team wins an entire series or tournament — IPL, T20 World Cup, The Ashes. These outright markets offer bigger odds with longer horizons.
Cricket might not have grown up on Philippine soil the way basketball did, but it has quietly built a real following among Filipino bettors — and the numbers at ds88play prove it. A big part of this is the OFW connection. Millions of Filipinos working in India, Sri Lanka, the UAE, the UK, and Australia have come back home with a genuine love for the game. When India plays Pakistan in a T20, it's not just the cricket die-hards watching — it's a major event from Makati to Davao City.
The IPL has been the single biggest driver of cricket betting growth in Southeast Asia. The format is fast, the matches finish in a single evening, and the star power is off the charts. Filipino bettors who already follow the NBA and PBA are drawn to the same high-scoring, high-intensity appeal of T20 cricket. At ds88play, IPL matches routinely see some of the highest betting volumes on the entire sports platform — on par with big UFC fights and international boxing cards.
The T20 World Cup takes things even further. When the tournament runs, ds88play sees players from all over the Philippines — from Quezon City apartments to Cebu boarding houses — placing live in-play bets on matches that often run late into the evening or early morning. The ability to bet on individual overs, wickets, and player milestones in real time is a game-changer that keeps bettors locked in from toss to last ball.
For first-timers, cricket betting can feel intimidating — the terminology alone (LBW, DRS, Duckworth-Lewis, powerplay overs) is a lot to absorb. That's why ds88play presents cricket markets in a clean, easy-to-understand format. Match winner, top batsman, and over/under totals are clearly labeled, and live stats are displayed alongside the odds so you always have context. You don't need to be a cricket expert to enjoy betting on it — though knowing the basics definitely helps your edge.

Cricket has its own language, and so does cricket betting. Here's a quick-reference glossary of terms you'll encounter when betting on cricket at ds88play — especially useful if you're coming from basketball or football betting.
| Term | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which team wins the match outright. In T20s and ODIs, there's no draw option — one team must win, even via Super Over if needed. |
| Toss Winner | A bet on which team wins the coin toss before the match. Purely a 50/50 market — no skill edge, but fast and fun to bet on pre-match. |
| Top Batsman | Bet on which individual player scores the highest number of runs for their team in the match. If your chosen batsman doesn't bat, the bet is usually voided. |
| Over/Under (Totals) | A bet on whether the combined or individual team runs total will be over or under a line set by ds88play. Common line for T20: 160.5 total runs. |
| In-Play / Live Bet | A bet placed while the match is in progress. Odds shift constantly based on what's happening on the pitch — wickets falling, boundaries, or run rates changing. |
| Powerplay | The first 6 overs of a T20 innings where fielding restrictions apply. Batting teams typically score more runs in this phase. Used in many over-by-over markets. |
| DLS Method | Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method — a mathematical formula used to recalculate targets when rain or weather interrupts a match. Affects in-play betting settlement. |
| No Result (NR) | When a match is abandoned due to rain or other conditions and a result cannot be determined. Most ds88play cricket bets are voided and refunded in NR outcomes. |
| Outright / Tournament Winner | A long-term bet on which team wins an entire tournament — IPL, T20 World Cup, etc. Placed before or during the tournament at increasingly short odds as teams progress. |
| Asian Handicap | A run-spread betting market commonly used in cricket where one team is given a run advantage or deficit to level the playing field. Popular for mismatched fixtures. |
Place bets ball by ball as the match unfolds. Odds update in real time — so if a wicket falls mid-over, your next bet reflects the new match situation immediately.
