Cricket's three formats and the major tournaments

Cricket betting covers three main formats — T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test. Each format has a different pace, duration and strategy, so the markets and odds differ too.

T20 is the fastest format. With the match finishing in just 20 overs, results are unpredictable and the situation can change in a single over. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and both are the most popular with Bangladeshi fans.

ODI format sees both teams bat for 50 overs. Run accumulation, wicket partnerships and fielding restrictions make this format's markets more varied. Many fans are interested in ODI betting during tournaments like the ICC Cricket World Cup and Asia Cup.

Test is cricket's longest format — a five-day match. Because a draw is possible, three result markets are available here, which is not the case in T20 or ODI. In Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and batting order all play a role in the outcome.

As Bangladesh's domestic T20 league, BPL gets special attention from the local betting community. Alongside it, IPL, the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy also generate major markets on bdbajee. Cricket fans in Dhaka and other cities are particularly active during the BPL season.

Football is worth mentioning too — football betting is very popular around the world and is available on bdbajee. However, the big difference from cricket is the format and type of markets. Football typically has match winner, goal scorer and handicap markets; cricket has a much wider variety of run- and wicket-based markets. Those interested in betting on a fast-paced sport like badminton can find more details on the bdbajee badminton betting page.

Popular betting markets and examples

Cricket has many different types of markets. Below are seven common markets, each with a simple example.

Match Winner

T20 · ODI · Test

A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A will win, place your money in that market. Match winner is the simplest market and a good starting point for beginners.

Toss Winner

All formats

A bet on which team will win the toss before the match. The outcome is separate from the main game, so the toss market is entirely independent. Example: Team B will win the toss — you can take part in this market.

Top Batsman

ODI · T20

A bet on which batter will score the most runs. Top-order batters from a team generally lead this market. Example: Team A's top batter will score the most runs in the innings — you can bet on this market.

Total Runs Over/Under

T20 · ODI

A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be over or under a set number. Example: Will Team A score more than 160 runs? That is the over/under market.

Multi Bet (multiple selections)

All formats

Add the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the winnings increase, but if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. See bdbajee Bet for full details on how multi bets work.

First Wicket to Fall

T20 · ODI

A bet on which over the first wicket will fall in an innings. One outcome if the wicket falls in the powerplay, another if it falls later. Example: Team B's first wicket will fall within the first 6 overs — you can take part in this market.

Handicap Betting

When there is a gap in quality between two teams, the weaker team is given a notional advantage (runs or wickets) to level the market. No specific run figure is set in handicap betting — read the handicap amount and conditions carefully to understand the outcome.

How to understand odds — three formats

Odds on bdbajee are shown in three common formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same value in different ways.

Example 1 — bet on Team A to win, stake ৳500

Format	Value	Meaning
Decimal	3.00	৳3 returned per ৳1 staked (including profit)
Fractional	2/1	৳2 profit per ৳1 staked
American	+200	৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake

If Team A wins, a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳500 is gone.

Example 2 — Team B is favourite, stake ৳500

Format	Value	Meaning
Decimal	1.50	৳1.50 returned per ৳1 staked
Fractional	1/2	৳1 profit per ৳2 staked
American	-200	A ৳200 stake is needed for ৳100 profit

If Team B wins, a ৳500 stake returns ৳750 (৳250 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win a set amount.

The lower the odds number, the bigger the favourite — and the smaller the potential profit. The higher the number, the greater the risk and the higher the potential profit.

Live in-play betting — markets during the match

Live in-play is one of the most engaging ways to bet on cricket. Once the match starts, odds shift with every over, every wicket and every boundary. In LIVE markets you can place new bets or manage existing ones even while the match is in progress.

As an example: in a T20, Team A has reached 35 runs for 2 wickets in the powerplay. At that moment, Team B's odds of winning will shorten because Team A is under pressure. Then if a big hitter comes to the crease in the next over, Team A's odds may rise again.

A few things to keep in mind with in-play betting: markets may temporarily close at certain moments (such as after a wicket falls), odds change quickly, and staying focused is the real challenge.

Impact of wickets

When a key wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately. The bowling team holds the advantage until the new batter is settled.

Over rate and run rate

As the required run rate climbs, the batting team's odds of winning fall. In the last 5 overs, when the run rate is high, markets move fast.

Duckworth-Lewis situation

If overs are reduced due to rain or other reasons, the target is recalculated. During this time, many markets are temporarily suspended.

General tips for betting

Betting is for entertainment — here are some general suggestions that may be useful for both new and experienced bettors.

01 Set your budget before placing any bets and do not go beyond it. Treat each bet independently.

02 Understand the format — in T20, results can change very quickly because of the fewer overs; in Test, watch the markets patiently.

03 Once you have some experience with one market, then move to in-play or multi bets. It is better to start with simpler markets.

04 Compare odds. Decimal odds of 3.00 mean 2/1 in fractional — both represent the same value.

05 Keep track of your wins and losses. If betting goes beyond entertainment, read the responsible gaming guidelines.

06 In a multi bet, if any selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. More selections means more risk.

Cricket betting questions and answers

In T20, with only 20 overs, results can shift very quickly and odds move frequently. A single big over or wicket can change the whole picture of a match. In ODI, the game is longer at 50 overs, so the run rate changes more slowly and you generally have more time to make decisions in live markets.

If a Super Over is used to break a tie, the Super Over result is normally used to settle bets. If the match concludes on a Reserve Day or under Duckworth-Lewis, bets are settled according to the official result. The specific rules for each market can be found on the rules page or through support.

A multi bet lets you combine the results of several matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return based on the combined odds, but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. The more selections you add, the lower the chance of winning but the higher the potential return. Contact bdbajee support to find out the specific limits.

Both are T20 format leagues, so the types of markets are broadly the same — match winner, toss, total runs, top batsman, and so on. However, IPL has more teams and more matches, so the markets can be more varied. Because BPL features more local Bangladeshi players, Bangladeshi bettors tend to recognise more familiar faces there.

In Test cricket there are three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. So the match winner market has three options, and the draw has its own separate odds. In T20 or ODI there is generally no draw, so those formats have only two options.
