INTRODUCTION
Cricket is one of the few sports where individual brilliance can completely change the flow of a match. Scoring a century (100 runs or more) is every batter’s dream, and it often defines great performances in Tests and ODIs.
On Msport, this milestone forms the basis of an exciting betting market known as “1st Innings Any Player to Score 100.”
This market allows you to predict whether any player from either team will score 100 or more runs during the first innings of a match.
It’s a simple market that rewards smart analysis of player form, match format, and pitch conditions.
WHAT THE MARKET MEANS
The “1st Innings Any Player to Score 100” market is all about the first batting session of the game, when the first team takes its turn to bat.
You are betting on whether any player, from either team, will reach a score of 100 runs or more in that innings.
It doesn’t matter which team or player achieves it; once a batter hits 100 or more, the “Yes” option wins.
Market Options:
YES: Predicts that a player will score 100 or more runs in the 1st innings.
NO: Predicts that no player will reach 100 runs in the 1st innings.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT AN INNINGS MEANS
An innings in cricket refers to a team’s turn to bat and score runs while the opposing team bowls and fields.
Test Match: Each team can bat twice (up to four innings total).
ODI: Each team bats once for 50 overs.
T20: Each team bats once for 20 overs.
Therefore, the 1st innings is the first team’s batting turn in the match.
WHEN THE MARKET WINS OR LOSES
| Situation | “Yes” Bet | “No” Bet |
| Any player scores 100+ runs in the 1st innings | ||
| No player reaches 100 runs | | |
| Player remains not out on 99 runs | | |
Let’s use a quick example:
Match: India vs Australia (ODI)
Market: 1st Innings Any Player to Score 100?
You select Yes at odds of 1.90.
India bats first and Virat Kohli scores 118 runs.
Your bet wins because a player reached 100+ runs in the first innings.
If no one reached 100 runs, “No” would have been the winning option.

Things to Consider Before Placing Your Bet
Match Format:
Test Matches → High chance of centuries.
ODIs → Moderate chance
T20s → Low chance due to limited overs.
Player Form:
In-form top-order batters are more likely to score big.
Key Reminder

Any century scored in the second innings or later does not count.
Always check match format and lineup before placing your bet.
