89bet Cricket Betting — Top Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on T20, ODI and Test — all three formats. At 89bet, odds move with every ball across match winner, toss, top batsman and live markets.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting Differences
Among cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL, IPL and ICC tournaments — especially the T20 World Cup — are the most familiar. Betting strategy differs across each format because the style of play and duration vary.
T20 — Fast-Paced Cricket
Results shift quickly in this 20-over format. In BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup, every wicket and big shot has an immediate effect on odds. T20 is the most popular format for live betting.
ODI — 50-Over Strategic Contest
The momentum of a 50-over match can swing in the middle stages. The powerplay, middle overs and final ten overs each offer distinct betting opportunities. These markets are active in ODI World Cups and bilateral series.
Test — Five Days of Patience
In Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and the pace of each innings all play an important role. Because a draw is possible, three-outcome markets are available — something not found in T20 or ODI.
Odds and market types in football and other sports differ from cricket — football produces a result within 90 minutes and Asian handicap markets are more common. At 89bet you can also bet on football, kabaddi and badminton alongside cricket.
Popular Betting Markets
89bet offers a variety of cricket betting markets. The most commonly used ones are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. In T20 it is Team A or Team B; in Test, a draw is a third option. Example: if Team A wins, you receive a return based on the odds at which you placed your bet.
Most PopularToss Betting
Betting on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This market does not depend on the match result, so it is an independent market.
Simple MarketTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings — this market involves picking one player from within a team. Odds are generally higher because there are more competitors.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a set number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a specified number — you choose one of the two. Example: will more than 75 runs be scored in the first 10 overs?
AnalyticalTop Bowler / Wickets
Which bowler will take the most wickets — similar to the top batsman market, this is a player-within-team market. It is particularly active in Test matches.
Test FavouriteMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet — you only win if every selection is correct. See the multi-bet guide for details.
Big ReturnsMan of the Match
Who will be named the best player at the end of the match — both batters and bowlers compete in this market. Odds are generally higher because there are more options.
For FunTime of First Wicket
Within how many overs the first wicket will fall — you choose over/under or a specific over range. This market is quite popular in T20.

How to Read Odds in Three Formats
At 89bet, odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three are simply different ways of expressing the same value.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 |
| American | +125 |
If Team A wins, return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake). If they lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win, stake ৳500:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 4/5 |
| American | -125 |
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If Team B wins, a ৳500 stake returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
American plus (+) odds are for underdogs — they show how much you win on a ৳100 stake. Minus (−) odds are for favourites — they show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
Live Betting — Odds Change During the Match
LIVE In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds are recalculated after every wicket, at the end of every over and after the powerplay.
For example: if Team A gets off to a good start batting, their match winner odds will shorten (meaning their probability of winning increases). If three wickets then fall in quick succession, the odds can flip the other way.
Decisions in live betting must be made quickly. At 89bet, real-time odds updates can be seen in the MT Live section, where in-play sports markets are active alongside live casino.
Note: If your connection drops during live betting, your bet may be cancelled. Make sure you have a stable internet connection before playing.
Practical Tips to Get Started with Betting
Betting at 89bet is for entertainment. For guidelines on responsible play, visit the Responsible Gaming page. Keeping the following in mind will make for a better experience.
- 01 Start with one market. Match winner is the simplest — get comfortable with that first, then move on to top batsman or over/under.
- 02 Understand the odds format. Decimal odds are straightforward — just multiply to get the potential return. Set it to decimal at the start.
- 03 No rush in live betting. Odds change fast — watch how the match is unfolding rather than making hasty decisions.
- 04 Set a budget. Decide how much you will spend in each session before you start. Do not go beyond that limit if you lose.
- 05 Pick markets based on the format. A draw is possible in Test matches — do not overlook the third option in the match winner market.
- 06 Be careful with multi-bets. Adding more selections increases the return, but one wrong pick loses the entire bet. See the multi-bet page for details.
