A Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test Matches
Learn about popular markets for BPL, IPL and international cricket, how to read odds, and everything about live betting — explained simply in Bengali.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and betting approach. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so results come quickly. ODI or one-day matches are played over a full 50 overs, and the situation can change a great deal mid-match. Test matches can last up to five days, so longer-term analysis is more useful here.
The most talked-about tournament among Bangladeshi cricket fans is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). IPL and the T20 World Cup, along with other ICC events, also generate regular interest. bd89 sap offers a range of betting markets for every match in these competitions.

Football and Other Sports — Compared to Cricket
Football betting is also popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. The main difference between the two is match length and the number of possible outcomes. A draw is possible in football, so there are typically three outcome markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so betting is more straightforward.
Sports like kabaddi, tennis or badminton have relatively fewer betting markets, but there are still opportunities to bet on them during major events. Cricket offers special markets for runs per over, wickets, or a specific bowler's performance — these are not available in football.
In cricket, the situation can change very quickly mid-match — a wicket falling or a big six can shift the odds immediately. This variability is what sets cricket betting apart from other sports.
If you are interested in slots or casino games outside of cricket, you can find a list of games on the bd89 sap Slots page.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Different markets are available depending on the type of match. Below are seven common markets with a brief example for each.
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the simplest market. If Team A wins, you win; if Team B wins, your bet is lost.
T20 ODIToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent — it has no relation to on-field performance.
All FormatsTop Batsman
Predict which batter will score the most runs in the innings. You can pick one from several options in the team.
ODI TestTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in the match will go above or stay below a set number.
T20 ODITop Bowler
Predict in advance which bowler will take the most wickets in the innings.
ODI TestMulti Bet
Combine the outcomes of multiple matches into one bet. Each set of odds is multiplied together, so potential returns are higher — but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MatchesHandicap and Over Betting
Taking the difference in strength between two teams into account, one team is given a virtual advantage. For example, if Team A is given a 10-run head start, the result is calculated by adding those 10 runs to their total. The outcome is understood in plain terms — without a specific stake or return example.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds appear in three formats on betting platforms: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three convey the same information in different ways. The examples below explain each one.
Example 1 — Slight Favourite (Team A)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Returns 2.5 times your stake |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Win ৳3 for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | Win ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If you bet ৳200 and Team A wins, you get a total of ৳500 back (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Strong Favourite (Team B)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Returns 1.5 times your stake |
| Fractional | 1/2 | Win ৳1 for every ৳2 staked |
| American | -200 | You need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 in profit |
If you bet ৳200 and Team B wins, you get a total of ৳300 back (৳100 profit + ৳200 original stake).
Multi bet example: If the odds on three separate selections are 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 — the total odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all three win; if any one loses, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Make Decisions During the Match
With standard pre-match betting, you place your bet before the match begins. With in-play betting, you can bet while the game is in progress. On bd89 sap live cricket betting, odds update after every over and immediately after every wicket falls.
For example, if Team A loses 3 wickets during the first powerplay, their odds of winning will increase — meaning there is potential for a higher return if they do win. Conversely, a big partnership will bring that team's odds down.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Reading the flow of the match is the key skill, because market odds reflect the new situation at every moment.
- 01 After the powerplay ends, check the score and compare Match Winner market odds.
- 02 When a wicket falls, consider the Top Batsman market with the new batter's record in mind.
- 03 Start with small bets in live sessions — it takes time to get used to the fast-moving changes.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning and it should not be seen as a source of income. That said, keeping a few things in mind can make the experience more manageable.
-
01
Set a budget: Decide on a limit for each session before you start. Do not bet more than you are prepared to lose.
-
02
Focus on one format: Concentrating on T20 or ODI — just one — is more effective than spreading yourself across all formats.
-
03
Compare odds: Look at odds across different markets for the same match. The value in the Match Winner and Top Batsman markets can differ.
-
04
Do not bet on emotion: Be careful about bias towards your favourite team. Look at real statistics and current form.
-
05
Take breaks: Do not bet for long stretches without stopping. Taking breaks helps keep your decision-making clear.
