Cricket's three formats and how the markets differ
The first thing to understand in cricket betting is which format you are betting on. T20, ODI and Test are three completely different cricket experiences, and the markets work differently in each.
T20 is the fastest format — just 20 overs, so the pace of play is high throughout. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, and both are the most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. In T20, the result can flip even in the final over, making it the most active format for in-play markets.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is played over 50 overs per side, giving teams more time to plan their approach. T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments in this format produce strong competition. Over/under and partnership markets are particularly popular in ODI matches.
Test cricket is the longest format — five days and two innings. A draw is a valid result here, so the match winner market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Pitch conditions, weather and batting order have a much greater influence on Test match betting.
T20, ODI and Test — each format moves at its own pace
In football betting, matches end in 90 minutes and scores tend to be low, so goalscorer and handicap markets play a big role. In cricket, runs and wickets change continuously, which means there are far more markets available — that is what sets cricket betting apart.
Seven markets most searched on e28
Understanding how each market works makes betting clearer. Below are seven common markets with a brief example for each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (win, loss or draw). Example: in a T20 between Team A and Team B, picking Team A pays out only if Team A wins.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. This has no connection to the match result — only the toss outcome counts. Example: if you bet on Team B to win the toss and Team B does win it, your bet wins.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the match. Batting order and pitch conditions have a big impact on this market. Example: if you pick a specific batter from Team A, that player must be the highest scorer in that innings for your bet to win.
AnalyticalTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or after a set number of overs will be above or below a given line. Example: will the total runs in the first 10 overs be over or under 80 — pick one of the two.
Over-BasedMulti Bet
Combine the outcomes of multiple matches or events into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win — one wrong pick loses the whole bet. For a detailed guide on multi bet strategy, see our Betting Tips guide.
High RiskPowerplay Score
An over/under bet on a team's total runs at the end of the first powerplay (typically overs 1–6). Runs shift quickly when wickets fall, so this market stays active in-play as well.
Live FavouriteFirst Wicket Partnership
An over/under bet on how many runs the two opening batters will add together. On a spin-friendly pitch, openers tend to score fewer runs as bowlers have the advantage early on. This market is especially popular in Test matches.
Test MatchDecimal, Fractional and American Odds — three ways to show the same number
A betting platform may display the odds for the same team in three different formats. All three mean the same thing — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Underdog Team A: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A winning returns a total of ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250 + original ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125. A minus figure in American format shows how much you need to stake to profit ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B winning returns ৳1,800 (profit ৳800).

The same odds in three formats — once you understand it, everything becomes straightforward
Most betting platforms in Bangladesh show decimal format by default. It is easy to calculate — stake × odds = total return.
In-play odds shift the moment a wicket falls — that is what makes live betting interesting
Something happens on almost every ball in cricket — a six, a maiden over or a wicket. After each of these events, in-play odds update in real time and new markets open up.
Say Team A has scored only 28 runs and lost 3 wickets in the first 5 overs. In that situation, Team A's odds of winning will rise noticeably because they are under pressure, while Team B's odds will shorten because they are on top. Later in the same match, if the middle-order batters build a partnership with 30 balls remaining, the odds will swing back again.
In a Test match, the pitch behaves differently in the morning compared to the evening, and that affects how much bowlers can do — these changes are reflected in the live markets. On a spin-friendly pitch like Mirpur Stadium in Dhaka, spinners tend to get more out of the surface in the afternoon, so it is worth keeping pitch behaviour in mind when betting in-play.
- In-play odds can move quickly at certain moments, especially after a wicket falls or the powerplay ends.
- In ODI matches, the total runs market sees big shifts after the 30th over when teams start playing more aggressively.
- In T20, a no-ball or wide in the final 5 overs can change the entire run calculation.

A few things to keep in mind for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it adds another dimension to watching a match. Keeping a few basic points in mind when betting on cricket makes the experience clearer.
- Choose markets that suit the format: Total runs and powerplay markets are more active in T20; innings margin and session score markets have a different character in Test cricket.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match and stick to that limit.
- Be careful with multi bets: Winning several selections at once is difficult — even if the odds look attractive, the risk is higher. One wrong pick loses the entire bet.
- Do not rush in live betting: Even when in-play odds are moving fast, there is no need to make quick decisions. Take time to read the match situation before acting.
- Play responsibly: Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income. Know your limits and stick to them. For more information, see our Responsible Gaming page.
- Know the rules: Before placing any bet, read the specific terms of that market. It is especially important to know what happens if a match is cancelled or cut short by rain.
