Sports at 8bat

A Sports Experience Built for Pakistani Fans

Sports in Pakistan are not just a hobby — they are woven into how people connect, celebrate and spend their evenings. Whether it is watching Babar Azam build an innings on a weekday afternoon or staying up late for a PSL final, the passion here is real and runs deep. At 8bat, the Sports section has been built with exactly that audience in mind.

This is not a generic global platform where cricket is buried under a dozen other sports. At 8bat, cricket sits front and centre because that is what Pakistani users want. You will find comprehensive coverage of every format — T20 Internationals, One Day Internationals, Test matches, and of course the full Pakistan Super League calendar from the opening fixture through to finals night. Markets go deep on every match, so whether you want to bet on the match winner or the number of runs in a specific over, the options are there.

But sports fandom in Pakistan extends well beyond cricket. Football has a growing and passionate following, particularly among younger audiences in cities like Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. Esports is another area that has exploded in popularity, with Pakistani gamers following VALORANT, CS:GO, Dota 2 and FIFA tournaments closely. 8bat covers all of these, meaning there is always something worth following regardless of the time of day or the season.

The interface is clean and responsive — it works well on a budget Android phone on mobile data, which is the practical reality for a large number of Pakistani users. Deposits through JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer are instant, and your balance is displayed in PKR throughout so there are no surprises.

Cricket Coverage That Matches Pakistani Fans' Passion

Ask any sports fan in Pakistan what they are watching on a weekend afternoon and the answer is almost always cricket. The sport has a hold on this country unlike anything else, and 8bat reflects that reality with its most detailed and comprehensive sports coverage dedicated to cricket in all its forms.

PSL coverage at 8bat is particularly thorough. Every match from the group stage to the final is covered with dozens of betting markets — not just the basic match winner, but top run scorer, top wicket taker, most sixes, total runs in an innings, runs in a specific over, method of first dismissal, and many more. If you know your cricket and follow the PSL closely, you will find markets on 8bat that reward that knowledge.

International cricket is equally well covered. When Pakistan faces India, England, Australia or any other major side, 8bat has the full market suite available pre-match and in-play. The live betting interface updates over by over so that if you are watching the game and you spot a momentum shift, you can act on it in real time without missing the moment.

For fans who prefer domestic cricket, the platform also includes coverage of major T20 leagues from around the world — which means there is cricket to follow and bet on for much of the year, not just when Pakistan's national team is playing.

Full PSL coverage from group stage to final
T20 Internationals, ODIs and Test match markets
Live in-play odds updated ball by ball
Over 50 markets available on major fixtures
Top batsman, top bowler and player props
Major international T20 leagues included

Football & Esports

Football and Esports – Growing Fast Among Pakistani Fans

While cricket will always be number one in Pakistan, football has been building a serious and dedicated following over the past decade. The Premier League in particular commands huge viewership in Pakistani cities, with fans backing their favourite clubs week in and week out through the entire season. 8bat caters to this audience with full coverage of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Champions League, as well as international competitions including the FIFA World Cup and AFC tournaments that naturally attract Pakistani interest.

Football markets on 8bat go beyond simple win-draw-win. You will find Asian handicap, both-teams-to-score, correct score, first goalscorer, total goals and various half-time markets across most major fixtures. Live football betting is particularly active on the platform, with odds updating continuously in response to goals, cards and the general flow of the game.

Esports is the other area where Pakistani interest has grown rapidly. A generation of young players and fans follow CS:GO, VALORANT, Dota 2 and FIFA esports at a serious level, and 8bat provides proper esports coverage to match that. Major tournaments and regional league events are included with standard markets alongside some specialist esports propositions. Whether you are following a VALORANT Major or a Dota 2 regional qualifier, you will find the event on 8bat.

Good to know: Esports events run across all time zones, which means late-night Pakistani bettors always have live markets available even after cricket and football in Europe have finished for the day.

Common Questions

Sports FAQ – 8bat Pakistan

Answers to what Pakistani sports fans most commonly ask about the 8bat sports section.

Yes, PSL is among the most extensively covered competitions on 8bat. Every fixture from the group stage to the final has a full set of markets available — match winner, top batsman, top bowler, total sixes, runs in specific overs, highest opening partnership and more. Odds are published well in advance, and live in-play markets open once each match starts. PSL is treated as a flagship event on the platform throughout the season.

Absolutely. Football is fully supported on 8bat with coverage of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Champions League and other major competitions. Each fixture has multiple markets available including match result, both-teams-to-score, Asian handicap, correct score, total goals and first goalscorer. Live in-play betting is also available for most football matches, with odds updating in real time as the game progresses.

Yes. 8bat covers esports betting on major titles including CS:GO, VALORANT, Dota 2, League of Legends and FIFA esports. Tournament markets, match winner, map winner and outright competition betting are all available depending on the event. Esports events span multiple time zones, so there are typically live markets available at most hours of the day and night — which makes it a good option for Pakistani bettors who are active in the evening or late at night.

In-play betting lets you wager on a match that is already underway. Once a supported event starts, the live section shows updated odds that shift in real time based on what is happening. For cricket, odds change ball by ball. For football, they move after goals, cards and other key moments. You pick your market, enter your stake in PKR and confirm just as you would for a pre-match bet. Keep in mind that odds can change quickly and markets may briefly suspend during major moments like wickets or goals while the system recalculates.

8bat supports all the major payment options used in Pakistan. You can deposit using JazzCash or Easypaisa mobile wallets, Raast instant bank transfer, standard bank transfer from any major Pakistani bank, or Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards. Deposits via mobile wallets are typically instant and reflected in your betting balance straight away. All transactions are processed in PKR, so there is no currency conversion at any point.
