Cricket Betting at betwin — from T20 to Test, make every ball count
Bet on all major cricket events at betwin, including BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup. From match winner to live in-play — all markets in one place.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
Cricket can broadly be divided into three formats: T20, ODI and Test. Each format has a different style of play and a different approach to betting.
T20 is the fastest format — each team faces just 20 overs. A match is over in three to four hours, so live betting odds shift with every ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 leagues among Bangladeshi fans. betwin offers a wide range of markets for ICC T20 World Cup matches.
ODI format gives each team 50 overs. The longer duration means there are more opportunities to bet on individual batsman scores or total runs markets.
Test cricket runs over five days. A draw is a separate result here, so the odds structure is different from T20 or ODI. Conditions can change dramatically within each session, which makes live betting more interesting.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, international matches — especially those involving Bangladesh Tigers — attract the most attention. betwin also has markets for football and other sports.
How betting differs across football and other sports
betwin offers betting not just on cricket but on football and various other sports as well. Since each sport has a different format, the type of betting also differs.
A cricket match involves variables like wickets, overs, run rate and powerplay, which naturally gives rise to a wider variety of markets. Football, on the other hand, is decided over 90 fixed minutes where the number of goals is the main factor, making over/under goals and scoreline markets most popular.
T20 and ODI cricket matches cannot end in a draw, so odds are structured around two sides. Test cricket allows a draw, meaning odds cover three separate outcomes — similar to football.
Sports like kabaddi or tennis have their own rules, but the core market structure — match winner, handicap, total points — remains broadly the same across all sports.

Popular markets in cricket betting
betwin offers many types of markets to bet on in cricket matches. Below are seven common markets explained in plain language.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. T20 or ODI matches have just two options; Test matches have three.
Most commonToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known quickly and is settled before the main game begins.
Quick resultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a team. This market is available in all formats.
Player-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or a full match will be over or under a set number. For example, if the line is 165.5 runs, Team A scoring 170 runs means over wins.
Score-basedMulti Bet
Combining the outcomes of multiple matches or markets gives much higher combined odds. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
High oddsTop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or match. Pitch conditions and the batting lineup both influence this market.
Bowling performanceOver of First Wicket
A bet on which over the first wicket will fall. This market is especially popular during powerplay overs. Odds are shaped by how aggressive the opening batsmen are.
How to read and understand odds
betwin may display odds in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same outcome in different ways. Below is the same bet shown in all three formats.
| Format | Odds (Team A wins) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | You get back a total of ৳3 for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 bet |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳500 bet, odds 3.00): If Team A wins, you receive ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (odds 1.25): Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. Negative American odds mean you need to stake that amount to win 100. On a ৳500 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Multi bet example
Three matches with individual odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 — combined, the multi bet odds become 4.32 (1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32). A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live in-play — change your bet while the match is on
You can still place bets at betwin after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. The situation changes after every ball or over, and the odds change with it.
Say Team B is losing wickets steadily during the powerplay in a T20 match — Team A's odds to win will shorten (meaning Team A is now the favourite) while Team B's odds will lengthen. These shifts happen in real time.
In ODI matches the run rate calculation changes every 10 overs, and in Test matches the pitch conditions and batting or bowling strength are reassessed at the end of each session. In live betting you need to make decisions quickly because odds can change within seconds.
Treat betting as entertainment. Set a limit on how much you are willing to spend and stick to it — you will find detailed guidance on betwin's responsible gaming page.
A few things to keep in mind before you start betting
-
Understand the format, then choose your market. The same market can mean something different in T20 versus Test cricket — especially total runs or wickets markets.
-
Set a fixed budget. Decide how much you want to spend on a match before you start and do not go beyond that limit.
-
Be careful with multi bets. Combined odds may look attractive, but if any one selection is wrong, the whole bet is lost. It is better to start with fewer selections in a multi bet.
-
Do not rush in live betting. Just because odds change fast does not mean you need to decide fast. It is better not to place a bet without understanding the situation.
-
Read the terms and conditions. Settlement rules can vary slightly for each market. Reading betwin's terms and conditions removes any ambiguity later.
-
Use live chat if you need help. betwin offers 24/7 live chat support in both Bangla and English.
