Two Core Cricket Concepts You Should Know
Before picking a market, understanding these two core concepts will help you make smarter decisions.
Ball-by-Ball Markets
- Definition
- Ball-by-ball markets let you bet on the outcome of each delivery bowled in a cricket match — including whether it results in runs, a wicket, a dot ball, or a no-ball. It's one of the most dynamic markets in cricket, with outcomes changing every few seconds.
- Quick example
- During an IPL match, you can bet on whether the next ball will produce a run or a wicket. If it results in a wicket and you selected "next wicket", you win based on the odds at the time.
Session-Based Betting
- Definition
- Session betting lets you predict the total runs scored by a team or player within a specific session — for example, the first 10 overs of a T20 match or the morning session of a five-day Test. These markets are independent of the overall match result.
- Quick example
- In a T20 match, odds are set on the total runs scored by Team A in overs 1 to 6 (the powerplay). If you predict over 50 runs during the powerplay and they score 54, you win — even if the team loses the match overall.
What's Available in the fm26 Cricket Section
Most Common Scenarios for Malaysian Users
Cricket has a dedicated following in Malaysia, particularly among communities that actively follow India, Pakistan, and Australia. Here are the most common ways local users engage with the fm26 Cricket section.
IPL matches typically start at 7:30 PM or 10:00 PM India time — which is 10:00 PM or 12:30 AM Malaysian time. fm26 users in Malaysia can follow live odds directly on their phone with no extra app required, making late-night watching and betting a seamless experience.
During the T20 World Cup, markets are available for every group match and knockout stage fixture. Users following India, Pakistan, or Australia can bet on match winners, session run totals, or top run-scorers — all through a single platform on fm26.
Many Malaysian users follow cricket on the commute home or during breaks. The fm26 mobile platform is optimised for local 4G connections — cricket market pages load quickly, and bet confirmation takes just seconds.
Test cricket fans can follow markets spanning an entire morning session, afternoon session, or full day's play. This gives more time to assess recent team form and pick the right market — a different experience from the faster, more intense T20 format.
