Cricket Betting at baazi — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — bet on Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman and more across every format. baazi is here for you with live in-play betting and easy payments.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Leagues
Cricket is the most familiar sport in Bangladesh, and baazi lets you bet on all three major formats of the game.
T20: The fastest format. Each team gets just 20 overs — any ball can change the picture of the match. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and the T20 World Cup is the most popular international tournament. Quick results and frequently shifting odds make T20 the format with the most bettors.
ODI: In a one-day match each team gets 50 overs. It is not as explosive as T20, but strategy plays a bigger role. The ICC Cricket World Cup is held in ODI format, which holds special interest for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
Test: The longest format — it can last up to five days. A draw is a possible result here, so the betting markets are different in nature. Having a sense of pitch and weather conditions helps when betting on Test cricket. baazi's cricket page offers separate markets for each format.
Football betting is also available at baazi alongside cricket. In football three results are possible — home win, draw, or away win. In limited-overs cricket there are generally two outcomes (no draw), so the odds structure is slightly different. Some markets for kabaddi and other sports are available as well.
Popular Betting Markets on baazi Cricket
The markets below are used most on baazi. Here is a brief guide on how to bet on each one.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. The simplest and most common market.
Simple MarketToss Winner
Pick which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely neutral, so odds are usually close for both teams.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. This market rewards knowing the players well.
SpecialtyTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. Example: will Team A score more than 160 runs?
Total RunsMulti Bet (Multiple Matches)
Combine selections from multiple matches for a chance at bigger returns. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet loses. See the Multi Bet guide for details.
High ReturnHandicap and Over Markets
In handicap markets, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage. There are also separate markets on how many runs will be scored in a specific over.
Special MarketsHow to Read and Understand Odds
baazi displays odds in three familiar formats. Once you get used to them, you can see at a glance how much return is possible on any bet.
| Format | If Team A wins (Example 1) | If Team B wins (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
| Return on ৳200 stake | ৳450 (profit ৳250) | ৳360 (profit ৳160) |
All three formats express the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog)
Price for Team A to win: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳450 if it wins (৳250 profit + original ৳200). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite)
Price for Team B to win: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (meaning ৳125 is needed to win ৳100). A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if it wins (৳160 profit). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On
One of the most interesting things about cricket is that the result can change while the match is still being played. baazi's live in-play betting gives you the chance to make new decisions after every over and every wicket.
For example, if Team A scores only 130 runs in the first innings, the odds on Team B winning will drop noticeably. Then if wickets fall one after another in the second innings, Team A can come back into the match and the odds will shift again. Tracking these changes is the core of live betting.
If runs come quickly during the powerplay overs, the odds on the Total Runs market change. When the fifth wicket falls, the Top Batsman market updates too. Staying focused in live betting and reading the flow of the match helps you make better decisions.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
While cricket is at the centre of baazi's sports section, football is also an important part. The English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and the FIFA World Cup all attract a large following in Bangladesh.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is the number of possible outcomes. In limited-overs cricket there are two possible results — one team wins. In football there are three — home, draw, or away. This is why the odds structure in football is slightly different and handicap markets are more popular.
In Test cricket a draw is a valid result, so there are three options — just like in football. baazi's sports section also has markets for kabaddi and some other sports.
If you want to combine matches from multiple sports and go for bigger returns with combined odds, Multi Bet markets are for you — detailed rules and examples are available there. If you want to play live casino games, check out WM Live Casino.
Some Practical Tips for Smart Betting
-
Set your budget in advance. Decide how much you will bet on each match before you start. Betting is a form of entertainment — chasing losses with bigger bets is not the right approach.
-
Focus on one market. Start by getting comfortable with simple markets like Match Winner or Over/Under. Betting on all markets at once splits your attention.
-
Compare odds. Decimal odds are the easiest to read — you can see straight away how much return you will get. Higher odds mean a higher return, but also a lower chance of winning.
-
Be patient in live betting. Rather than rushing into decisions mid-match, read the situation first and then place your bet.
-
Be careful with Multi Bets. Adding more selections increases the return, but if even one is wrong the whole bet loses. Start with fewer selections.
-
Bet responsibly. Betting is entertainment only. Know your limits and read the responsible gaming guidelines if needed.
Cricket betting and casino services are for members aged 21 and over only. Participation by minors is strictly prohibited.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections: Decimal 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = combined odds 4.59 (rounded). A ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all win. If any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
