Cricket Betting at bijali — bet across all formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
bijali lets you bet on all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — with an understanding of how each match unfolds. All markets from match winner to live in-play are available in one platform.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Each cricket format moves at a different pace, and the type of betting changes with it. T20 is the fastest and most action-packed format — teams take to the field to score as many runs as possible in 20 overs, so the situation can shift with every ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format and are the most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs. The target set in the first innings gives you a sense of how easy or difficult the chase will be in the second innings — which is especially important in live betting. The T20 World Cup and ICC World Cup are both held across these formats.
Test cricket is a five-day game of patience. Match results are influenced by many factors — pitch condition, weather, number of wickets. A draw is also a possible result in Test cricket, so there are more available markets.
Bangladesh Tigers' international matches are regularly available at bijali. In addition to BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup, there are also opportunities to bet on international series matches.
T20
The fastest format. Runs and wickets shift the picture over by over. BPL and IPL bring the most excitement in this format.
ODI
In 50-over cricket, strategy and consistency play a major role. The run total from the first innings sets the target that shapes the betting market for the second innings.
Test
In a five-day game, pitch and weather shape the markets. A draw is also possible, so there are three possible results to bet on.
How It Differs from Football and Other Sports
Cricket betting is somewhat different from football or other sports. Football has a fixed 90-minute time limit and relatively fewer goals — so a single goal can shift the entire market. In cricket, especially T20, the situation changes every over and there are far more available markets.
Football generally deals with three outcomes (win, loss, draw). In T20 and ODI cricket there is no draw — only two outcomes. Test cricket, however, brings the draw back in. In live football betting, markets typically cover number of goals and corners; in cricket there are many more options such as runs per over, wickets and number of boundaries.
Some markets overlap between the two sports — such as match winner or total runs/goals over-under. However, in cricket the pitch condition, toss result and weather play a larger role in how a match unfolds, something that does not have quite as direct an impact in football.
If you want to bet on multiple match results at once, you can use the multi bet feature at bijali, where selections from both cricket and football can be added to the same bet.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
bijali offers a variety of betting markets for cricket. The most commonly used markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — you bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: if you think Team A will win, place your bet on Team A; if Team A wins, the bet is won, otherwise it is lost.
Toss Betting
Before the match starts, you bet on which team will win the toss. There are two equally likely outcomes, so the odds are usually close.
Top Batsman
This market covers which batsman will score the most runs for a given team — there are multiple options and odds differ from batsman to batsman.
Total Runs Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or across the whole match will be over or under a set number.
Multi Bet
Combining results from multiple matches or markets in one bet increases the overall odds. However, all selections must win — if one loses, the entire bet is lost. Learn more about bijali multi bet.
Top Wicket Taker
This market is about which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or throughout the match. It is especially popular in T20 because there are more wicket-taking opportunities during the powerplay and death overs.
How to Read Odds
Betting platforms generally display three odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three are available at bijali, and they all mean the same thing.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳1,000:
If the bet loses, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, stake ৳1,000:
A minus sign in American format means favourite — it shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
All three formats express the same information differently. Once you are used to one format, you can easily work out the return from any bet.
Live In-Play Betting LIVE — Bet During the Match
If you did not place a bet before the match started, no problem — with live betting you can place a bet at any point while the game is in progress. In bijali's in-play section, odds are recalculated after every over.
Say Team A has lost 3 wickets by the 15th over of a T20 match — at that moment Team A's odds may lengthen (meaning the market believes their chances of winning have decreased). Because odds shift with the flow of the match, live betting makes watching the game a more active experience.
Wickets falling, sixes or fours, the end of the powerplay, the Duckworth-Lewis method coming into effect — all of these events cause odds to change instantly. In some matches, live markets close within a certain number of overs or balls, so it is important to decide in time.
Live betting requires more focus because the window to place a bet is limited. bijali's Vivo Live section offers both live casino and sports live markets.
A Few Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the points below in mind can make your approach more structured — but remember, there is no guarantee of winning.
Understand the market first, then place your bet
The match winner market may seem straightforward, but over/under or top batsman markets have their own rules. Read the market description before placing a bet.
Consider the format and the pitch
The same team can perform differently in T20 and Test cricket. On a spin-friendly pitch, spinners have an advantage — take these general factors into account.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you are willing to spend on each match separately. Placing a large bet to recover lost money is not a practical approach.
Do not rush in live betting
In-play odds change quickly. It is better to take a moment to be sure than to make a hasty decision.
Play responsibly
Betting is for entertainment — not a way to recover losses. Reading bijali's responsible gaming guidelines and setting your own limits can be helpful.
