From the first delivery of a PSL opener to the final whistle of a Champions League night, paddy power brings you live odds, deep markets and real-time coverage across the sports Pakistan follows most closely.
Sport in Pakistan is not just entertainment – it is genuinely part of daily conversation, office talk and family gatherings. When Pakistan is playing a Test series, the whole country has an opinion. When PSL is on, even people who don't normally follow cricket are watching. paddy power understands this culture and has built its Sports section around it.
Rather than giving you a generic list of global sports where cricket is buried under American football and ice hockey, the paddy power sports section leads with what matters here. Cricket is front and centre. PSL markets are promoted during the season. Pakistan internationals get full pre-match and live coverage regardless of where the series is being played.
Football fans are well served too. The major European leagues – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga – are covered with competitive odds. Champions League knockout nights and World Cup cycles get extra market depth and promotional odds. Esports is growing fast among younger Pakistani players, and paddy power covers CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant tournaments regularly.
Tip: All payouts are settled in PKR. You can deposit and withdraw via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or cards – whichever is most convenient.
Every sport below has dedicated pre-match and live in-play coverage with markets that go well beyond the basic match-winner bet.
Cricket
Pakistan's favourite sport — deepest market coverage
No other sport gets the same level of attention on paddy power as cricket. Tests, ODIs and T20 internationals are all covered in full. PSL gets its own dedicated section during the season with match-by-match markets, player performance bets and tournament outright markets from day one.
Markets go well beyond match winner. You can bet on session totals, powerplay runs, method of dismissal, top scorer per innings, total sixes in a match and dozens of other options that make following the game much more engaging.
Football
Europe's biggest leagues and international tournaments
Football is the second most popular sport to bet on among Pakistani players, driven largely by the huge following for Premier League clubs. paddy power covers all major leagues throughout the season with pre-match odds available several days ahead of kick-off.
Live in-play football is particularly popular because so much can change in ninety minutes. A red card, a penalty, an injury-time goal – the odds shift rapidly and paddy power's live interface keeps pace with what's happening on the pitch.
Esports
Growing fast among Pakistan's younger bettors
Pakistan has a genuinely passionate gaming community and competitive esports is increasingly on their radar. paddy power covers the major international tournaments for CS2, Dota 2, Valorant and League of Legends. The major events – ESL Pro League, The International, VCT Masters – all get dedicated market listings.
Esports betting works differently from traditional sports. Match pace is faster, form shifts dramatically between tournaments and map-level betting adds an entirely new dimension. If you already follow the competitive scene, this is an area where your knowledge translates directly.
Tennis
Grand Slams and ATP/WTA year-round
Tennis runs almost year-round with Grand Slams, Masters events and tour-level matches providing a near-constant betting calendar. paddy power covers Wimbledon, the Australian Open, French Open and US Open with extensive pre-match markets and live betting during matches.
Basketball
NBA and international competitions
The NBA season runs from October through June and provides one of the longest continuous betting calendars of any sport. paddy power covers regular season games, playoffs and the Finals with point spread, moneyline and over/under markets available on every game.
More Sports
30+ sports across the paddy power platform
Beyond the headline sports, paddy power carries markets on boxing, MMA, rugby, American football, golf, cycling, motorsport and more. Major events like the PGA Majors, Formula 1 championship races and UFC title fights all get full market coverage.
Pre-match betting has its place but there is something genuinely different about placing a bet while you are watching the game. Live in-play betting on paddy power lets you react to what is actually happening rather than what was predicted before the match started.
In cricket this is especially interesting. When a wicket falls unexpectedly in the first over, the odds on a low-scoring match shift immediately. If a batsman is set and going hard in the second powerplay, the over-by-over totals jump. You can read the conditions, read the pitch, read the body language of the fielding captain – and then place a bet that reflects what you're seeing in real time.
Football live betting works similarly. Going a goal down at home often makes the favourite's odds drift significantly, even when they're clearly the better side. If you know the teams well enough to judge that the equaliser is coming, that is exactly the kind of live value that paddy power's in-play system is built for.
The table below illustrates the kinds of markets and odds formats you will find across cricket, football and esports. Actual odds change constantly based on live conditions.
| Event | Sport | Market | Selection | Odds | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan vs India – T20I | Cricket | Match Winner | Pakistan | 1.90 | Live |
| Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings | PSL | Total Sixes | Over 14.5 | 1.75 | Live |
| Manchester City vs Arsenal | Football | Both Teams to Score | Yes | 1.65 | Pre-Match |
| Real Madrid vs Barcelona | Football | Match Winner | Real Madrid | 2.10 | Pre-Match |
| Natus Vincere vs Team Spirit | Esports | Match Winner | Natus Vincere | 2.40 | Live |
| Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz | Tennis | Set Betting | Djokovic 3-1 | 3.20 | Pre-Match |
| Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics | Basketball | Total Points | Over 218.5 | 1.85 | Pre-Match |

The Pakistan Super League is not just another T20 franchise tournament. For millions of Pakistanis it is the biggest sporting event of the domestic calendar, and paddy power treats it accordingly. Every PSL fixture from the group stage right through to the final is covered with a full range of pre-match and live in-play markets.
Tournament outright markets go live at the start of the season so you can back your preferred franchise to win the title before a single ball is bowled. As the competition progresses and teams find form – or fall apart – those odds shift and new opportunities to find value emerge. If you follow PSL closely enough to know which teams perform well on Lahore wickets versus Karachi, that specific knowledge genuinely matters here.
Match day markets on paddy power for PSL fixtures typically include match winner, top run scorer, top wicket-taker, total sixes, powerplay runs, method of first dismissal and man of the match. Live in-play during PSL matches is particularly active – the pace of T20 cricket means odds can move dramatically within a single over.
Back your favourite franchise to win PSL before the tournament starts – or find value mid-season when form becomes clearer.
Ball-by-ball odds updates during live PSL matches. React to wickets, boundaries and momentum shifts in real time.
Bet on individual players across the season – top scorer, most sixes, most wickets. Great if you follow specific players closely.
All PSL winnings are settled instantly in PKR. Withdraw via JazzCash or Easypaisa minutes after the match ends.

The questions Pakistani players ask most often about the paddy power sports section.
