From IPL blockbusters to T20 World Cup finals and Test match classics, 898ph Cricket brings the full spectrum of international cricket to Filipino players with real-time odds, in-play betting, and instant GCash payouts — every single day of the cricket calendar.
Cricket on 898ph is the platform's dedicated sportsbook section for one of the world's most-watched sports. While cricket may not have the same deep roots in the Philippines as basketball or boxing, the sport has been quietly building a passionate following among Filipino fans — particularly those who follow the IPL, the T20 World Cup, and the intense drama of Ashes Test series. 898ph recognized this growing appetite early and built a cricket betting experience that matches the depth and quality of what you'd find on any international sportsbook.
The 898ph Cricket section covers every major format of the game: T20 internationals, One Day Internationals (ODIs), Test matches, and the full calendar of domestic T20 leagues including the IPL, Big Bash, PSL, and CPL. For each match, 898ph offers over 50 individual betting markets — from the straightforward match winner and top run-scorer to more granular options like runs in a specific over, method of dismissal, and player performance props.
What makes 898ph Cricket genuinely different from other platforms available to Filipino players is the in-play betting experience. Odds update in real time, ball by ball, reflecting the actual state of the match as it unfolds. A wicket falls and the odds shift instantly. A boundary changes the run rate and the over/under markets adjust accordingly. This live responsiveness makes cricket betting on 898ph feel like active participation in the match rather than a passive wager placed before the first ball is bowled.
898ph covers the full international cricket calendar. Here are the marquee competitions where Filipino players bet the most.

Cricket and the Philippines might not seem like an obvious pairing at first glance. Basketball is the national obsession, boxing has produced legends that the whole country celebrates, and combat sports from UFC to sabong draw massive audiences every weekend. But cricket has been quietly gaining ground among Filipino sports fans — and 898ph has been paying attention. The platform's dedicated cricket section is the most comprehensive cricket betting experience available to players in the Philippines, and it's built with the same attention to detail that 898ph brings to every product in its lineup.
The growth of cricket's Filipino fanbase tracks closely with the rise of the IPL. When the Indian Premier League launched its global broadcast strategy and became available on Philippine cable and streaming platforms, a new generation of Filipino sports fans discovered the sport through its most explosive format. T20 cricket — fast, high-scoring, packed with boundaries and sixes, resolved in under four hours — is a natural fit for Filipino viewing habits. The IPL's combination of world-class players, franchise loyalty, and genuine unpredictability made it appointment viewing in households from Quezon City to Cebu, and 898ph's cricket section grew alongside that audience.
Understanding cricket betting starts with understanding the formats. T20 cricket is the shortest and most bet-friendly format — each team faces 20 overs, matches are completed in an evening, and the high-scoring nature of the game means there are constant swings in momentum that create live betting opportunities on 898ph throughout the match. ODI cricket gives each team 50 overs and typically runs across a full day, offering a longer betting window and more opportunities for session-by-session markets. Test cricket is the purest form of the game — five days, two innings per side, and a depth of tactical complexity that rewards bettors who genuinely understand the sport.
The in-play betting experience on 898ph is where cricket betting really comes alive. Consider a T20 match where Team A is chasing 185 runs. After 10 overs they need 95 more with 7 wickets in hand — the match is evenly poised and the odds reflect that balance. Then a key batsman is dismissed in the 11th over and suddenly the required run rate climbs steeply. 898ph's odds shift immediately, creating a window where a bettor who believes the remaining batsmen can still chase the target can find genuine value. This kind of dynamic, responsive betting environment is what separates 898ph's cricket section from static pre-match sportsbooks.
For Filipino players who are new to cricket betting, the match winner market is the natural starting point. It's straightforward, it resolves at the end of the match, and it gives you a stake in the outcome that makes watching the game significantly more engaging. From there, the total runs over/under market is the next logical step — it doesn't require you to pick a winner, just to assess whether the pitch conditions, the bowling attack, and the batting lineup are likely to produce a high-scoring or low-scoring match. These two markets alone cover the majority of casual cricket betting on 898ph.
More experienced bettors on 898ph tend to gravitate toward the player performance markets — top batsman, top wicket taker, and player runs props. These markets reward genuine cricket knowledge. Knowing that a particular batsman has a strong record against left-arm pace bowling, or that a spinner tends to be more effective in the second innings on a turning pitch, gives you an edge that pure luck-based betting can't replicate. 898ph's cricket section is designed to reward that kind of informed engagement, with deep markets that go well beyond the surface-level match winner bet.
The practical side of cricket betting on 898ph is as smooth as any other product on the platform. Deposits via GCash or PayMaya are credited instantly, with a minimum of ₱100 to get started. The bet slip is clean and intuitive — select your market, enter your stake, confirm your bet, and you're in the action. Withdrawals are processed with the same speed, landing in your GCash or PayMaya wallet within minutes of requesting. For players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines, the entire experience from account funding to payout is seamless and genuinely fast.
898ph's commitment to responsible gaming extends fully to the cricket section. The platform operates within the PAGCOR regulatory framework and enforces the 21+ age restriction across all betting products. Players are encouraged to set deposit limits, use the self-exclusion tools if needed, and treat cricket betting as a form of entertainment rather than a guaranteed income source. The 898ph Responsible Gaming page provides full details on the tools and resources available to players who want to manage their betting activity. Cricket is a beautiful game — 898ph wants every Filipino player to enjoy it responsibly.
