502 Cricket — IPL, T20 & Test Series Betting
This page is your complete guide to cricket betting on the 502 platform — covering IPL, T20 World Cup, international Test series, and domestic cricket leagues. You'll find clear explanations of betting market types, how to access the cricket section from your phone, and how to deposit using Malaysian payment methods.
Cricket at 502 — More Than Just a Match
Cricket has grown into one of the most popular sports among 502 users in Malaysia. Much of that popularity is driven by the massive following the Indian Premier League (IPL) commands, drawing millions of viewers across South and Southeast Asia — including communities based in Malaysia. With access to a wide range of betting markets and real-time odds updates, following cricket on the platform becomes a far more engaging and interactive experience.
502 covers cricket across three main tiers — franchise leagues like IPL, the increasingly popular short-format T20 competitions, and long-form Test series between international sides. Each tier plays differently, and the betting markets on offer are tailored to match the format accordingly.
If you're new to cricket and haven't followed the sport closely before, this page also covers the most common betting markets so you can place your bets with more confidence.
Five Cricket Betting Markets You Should Know
Each of these markets gives you a different angle to engage with the match — it's not just about picking a winner.
The most basic market — you pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI formats, only two outcomes are available (no draw) since the game is played until a winner is determined. Odds reflect the relative strength of both teams based on recent form, pitch conditions, and squad composition on match day.
This market asks you to pick the player who will score the most runs for their team in that innings. It's one of the most popular markets during IPL, as fans are already familiar with the form of each franchise's key batters. Factors like batting position, track record at that venue, and weather conditions all play into a well-informed pick.
You're betting on whether the total runs scored in an innings or a full match will go over or under a set number. This market works best when you're across the pitch conditions — fast, flat tracks tend to produce high scores, while spin-friendly surfaces usually keep totals lower.
This market asks you to predict which player will be named Man of the Match. The award typically goes to a batter who puts up a big score or a bowler who takes several wickets on the day. Odds tend to be higher than on the match winner, making it an appealing option if you have strong conviction about a particular player.
In-Play Markets
While a cricket match is in progress, 502 offers in-play markets that let you bet on live developments — such as the outcome of the next over, whether a wicket will fall in the next 5 balls, or the total runs in the current over. These markets shift quickly in line with match conditions, making them a thrilling option to follow live from your phone.

If you're unsure about any terms or how a particular market works, refer to FAQ page which includes a brief overview of sports betting market types.
