Cricket Betting at 09bet — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Find popular markets, live odds and betting details for BPL, IPL and international cricket all in one place. 09bet offers a wide range of sports betting options for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket is Bangladesh's favourite sport, and it gets the most coverage in the sports section at 09bet. The three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own character and betting style.
T20 is the fastest format. In a 20-over match, the situation can change in an instant — a six or a wicket can turn the whole picture around. Franchise leagues like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, and these competitions have the most active betting markets.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is played over 50 overs per side. ICC World Cups and bilateral series are usually played in this format. Betting markets in ODI matches are relatively more stable — once one team's innings ends, the target becomes clear.
Test cricket is a five-day game of patience. There is a possibility of a draw, wickets fall gradually, and weather also plays a role. Betting on Tests is somewhat different because there are three possible results — win, loss and draw — which shapes the odds differently.
The most popular competition in Bangladesh is the BPL, which features domestic franchise teams. Interest in India's IPL, the T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers' international matches also runs high.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
Alongside cricket, 09bet offers betting on football and various other sports. Football has a strong following in Bangladesh — interest runs from European leagues all the way to the World Cup.
There are, however, some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting. In football, a result is reached within 90 minutes and the main markets revolve around goals and match winner. In cricket, conditions change over by over, so the variety of markets is much greater — from the toss right through to the top run scorer.
If you want to focus on a single sport, cricket offers far more options. And for those who like to pick across different sports, multi bets are especially useful — you can combine cricket and football matches in one multi bet.
For those who prefer casino games alongside sport, 09bet Casino has live casino and slots. For more details on slots, visit the 09bet Slots page.

Popular cricket betting markets
In cricket betting, you can place bets on much more than just wins and losses. Here is a brief overview of seven popular markets.
Match Winner
You simply pick which of the two teams will win. For example, if you choose Team A and Team A wins, the bet is successful. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, which makes this the simplest market.
Toss Result
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss is entirely down to chance, so the odds for both teams are usually close.
Top Run Scorer
A bet on who will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This market is especially popular with those who follow the details of the game closely.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific runs target. You choose whether the total runs in the match will be above that number (over) or below it (under).
Multi Bet
Several matches or markets are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The result of this market depends heavily on the pitch conditions and the weather.
First Over Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the very first over or during the powerplay overs. This is an active market that depends on how fast the opening play gets going.
How to read odds — three formats explained
Betting sites display odds in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability in different forms. The examples below will make this clear.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Team A to win, stake ৳200. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, you get back ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite's odds
Team B is the favourite, stake ৳200. Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if it wins (৳160 profit).
Decimal format is the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. Fractional is from British tradition and American format is mainly used in North America. 09bet generally displays decimal format.
| Format | Format | Stake ৳200 → Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳200 × 3.00 = ৳600 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 2 × ৳200 + ৳200 = ৳600 |
| American (+) | +200 | ৳200 profit + ৳200 = ৳600 |
| Decimal (Fav.) | 1.80 | ৳200 × 1.80 = ৳360 |
| Fractional (Fav.) | 4/5 | 4/5 × ৳200 + ৳200 = ৳360 |
| American (−) | -125 | ৳160 profit + ৳200 = ৳360 |
The numbers in these examples are for illustration only — actual odds change at all times.
In-play betting — place bets while the match is on
Live or in-play betting is the most fast-moving part of cricket betting. Even after the match has started, odds shift with every over, every wicket and every boundary.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 5 wickets in 10 overs — their odds of winning will rise considerably because their chances have dropped. Conversely, if a team is scoring quickly during the powerplay, the odds in their favour will shorten.
In T20, live betting carries particular weight because a big hit in the final few overs can change the whole equation. Keep in mind though — live odds move very fast, so take a moment to think before making a decision.
Before making any decision in live betting, it is worth reading the responsible betting guidelines. Betting is for entertainment, not a way to grow wealth.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — keep that in mind as you play. The tips below are useful for both new and experienced bettors.
Multi bet example
Bets on three separate matches — odds 1.40, 1.60 and 1.80. In a multi bet the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03. A ৳100 bet returns ৳403 — but only if all three bets are correct. If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
The figures are for illustration only.
