Cricket betting at cricket baji — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Back the Bangladesh Tigers in every match — BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket — all in one place with cricket baji.
Three cricket formats and major tournaments
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the three main formats. Strategy and betting types differ across formats, so it helps to know which market suits which match before you start.
T20: The fastest format — 20 overs, done in a day. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Batters play aggressively and scores run high, so Total Runs and Sixes markets are very popular.
ODI: A fifty-over match, and the format used for the ICC Cricket World Cup. The pace of the game shifts in the middle overs, which makes Top Batsman and Match Winner markets appealing to bettors.
Test: Five-day cricket — a test of patience. Weather, pitch changes and the balance between innings all play a big role in betting outcomes. A tie, draw or outright win are all possible, so odds are structured differently.
cricket baji offers betting on BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and various bilateral series matches.
Football and other sports betting
cricket baji is not limited to cricket. Football betting is also available — you can bet on UEFA Champions League, Premier League or Asian tournament matches from the same platform.
The key difference between cricket and football is the number of outcomes. Football has three — win, lose and draw — so odds are calculated differently. T20 and ODI cricket typically have two outcomes (Test has three), which changes how betting markets are structured.
Football has special markets like halftime score, goalscorer or corner count, while cricket has markets like toss, top wicket-taker or Man of the Match. Live betting is available for both sports, and odds update as the game progresses.
Popular cricket betting markets
Different markets are available depending on the match. Here are some of the most commonly used markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Example: if you think Team B will beat Team A, select Team B.
Toss Winner
This market is settled before the main match begins. You bet on which team — Team A or Team B — will win the toss.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. This market is popular when weighing up team batting strength.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether total runs scored in a set number of overs will be over or under a given number. Pitch and weather conditions are worth considering.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. On spin- or pace-friendly pitches, this market helps inform your decision.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combining multiple market outcomes in one bet increases your potential return, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. A three-selection example is shown in the odds section below.
Man of the Match
Predict which player will be awarded the best performance. All-rounders tend to be the most considered picks in this market.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
There are three ways odds are written — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information, just in different formats.
| Bet Type | Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A wins (underdog) | 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 |
| Team B wins (favourite) | 1.80 | 4/5 | -125 |
Example 1 — Underdog (Team A): A ৳1,000 bet at decimal odds of 2.50 returns ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite (Team B): Decimal odds of 1.80 on a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if you win (৳800 profit). American odds of -125 means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit.
In a Multi Bet with three selections at decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = combined odds of roughly 4.28, a ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all three win. If any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Odds change the moment a wicket falls — in-play betting
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. Odds update instantly as overs are completed, wickets fall or big sixes are hit.
Say Team A is scoring quickly in the first 10 overs — Team A's win odds will shorten at that point (meaning they become the favourite). If two wickets fall in quick succession, the odds will swing again. Being able to read these shifts lets you make better-informed decisions.
In ODI or T20, the run rate during the powerplay usually sets the direction of odds for the overs that follow. In Test cricket, pitch behaviour changes through the day, so patience matters in live betting.
- After a wicket falls, wait for the market to settle before placing a bet.
- Odds tend to move quickly just before the last ball of an over.
- Remember that in a live Multi Bet, if one selection loses, all the rest go with it.
A few practical tips for cricket betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following in mind will help you stay organised.
- Set a budget: Decide your limit before each bet and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment, not income.
- Know the format: Betting strategy differs between T20 and Test. Powerplay run rate matters in T20; pitch reports matter in Test.
- Start with one market: New bettors often find it easier to focus on the Match Winner market first.
- Don't rush in live betting: Odds change fast, so take a moment before deciding. Avoid placing large bets on impulse.
- Know the responsible gaming rules: Read the responsible gaming guidelines to keep your betting in check.
- Read the rules: Before joining any offer or promotion, read the terms and conditions.

Example: backing Team A with ৳500 — if Team A wins you gain ৳500 (before commission), if they don't you lose ৳500. Laying Team A with ৳500 — if Team A does not win you gain ৳500, if they do win you pay out ৳500.
