Cricket Betting at 89bd — Best Markets from T20 to Test
89bd brings extensive betting markets for BPL, IPL and international matches to cricket fans in Bangladesh. From Match Winner to live in-play — every ball brings a new opportunity.
Cricket's three formats and favourite competitions
Much of the enjoyment of cricket betting depends on the format. T20 matches conclude quickly — the entire match is done in a few hours and odds shift with every over. Among Bangladesh viewers, BPL is the most talked-about T20 league, because watching your own team play at a Dhaka ground has its own kind of excitement. IPL is also very popular among cricket fans in Bangladesh.
In ODI format, strategy matters much more over the fifty-over journey. Markets can be selected based on a team's batting or bowling approach. In Test cricket, odds move up and down over five days — a draw is also a valid result, which is not the case in T20 or ODI.
Interest among Bangladesh fans is naturally higher when the Tigers play in international matches. For T20 World Cup or ICC Championship matches, the number of betting markets at 89bd increases noticeably, as audience interest is greater in major tournaments.
T20
The fastest format. Odds change every ball; live betting is at its most active.
BPL · IPL · T20 WCODI
Fifty overs of team strategy to analyse. Markets are varied over a long innings.
ICC · Asia CupTest
The longest format at five days. A draw is possible, so markets work differently.
ICC WTC · Bilateral SeriesFootball and Others
Alongside cricket, markets for football and other sports are also available at 89bd.
Football · KabaddiThe difference in betting between football and other sports
The biggest difference between cricket and football is the number of possible results. In ODI or T20 cricket there are generally two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins (Test adds a draw). In a regular-time football match there are three possible results: home win, away win or draw. For this reason football odds are typically structured differently and handicap markets appear more often.
In other sports like Kabaddi, Badminton or Tennis, the pace and format of matches differ, so the style of betting changes too. However, the main markets — Match Winner, Score, Handicap — are present in almost every sport.
For those interested not only in cricket but also in casino games, you can visit the 89bd Casino live tables and slots section — all games are available under the same account.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
At 89bd you can bet on many types of markets in cricket matches. Below are 5 main markets with simple examples.
Match Winner
The simplest market — you are predicting which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI you choose one of the two teams. Example: Team A or Team B — bet on whichever team you think will win.
EasiestToss Winner
Betting on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. This has no connection to the match result — it is a completely separate market. Choose the team you think will win the toss.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs — this market involves picking the highest run-scorer from a team. You can place this bet by analysing the team's batting form.
Team-Based AnalysisTotal Runs (Over / Under)
You predict whether the total runs in a specific innings or the whole match will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. Example: whether total runs in the match will go above 315.
Runs-BasedMulti-Bet
Multiple bets are combined into a single slip. If all bets are correct you get a large return, but if even one loses the entire slip is void. Learn the detailed rules and strategy for multi-bets at 89bd Bet.
High ReturnInnings Runs (Specific Overs)
How many runs a team will score in the first 10 or 20 overs — this market gives you the chance to read powerplay or middle-over strategy. Bets are placed by considering the scoring rate.
Over-DependentHow to read and understand odds
Odds in betting appear in three different formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — All three formats together (Team A wins, stake ৳500)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return = three times the stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If Team A wins: a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + original ৳500). If Team A loses: the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds (Team B wins, stake ৳500)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Lower odds — favourite team |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit on a ৳4 stake |
| American | -400 | Minus — need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100 |
If Team B wins: a ৳500 stake returns ৳625 (৳125 profit). A favourite offers less profit but a higher chance of winning.
Multi-Bet Example
Suppose you place three bets across three separate matches. The odds are 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively — multiplied together the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). A stake of just ৳100 gives a possible return of ৳479 — but if even one bet loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Multi-bets offer the chance of a large return, but the risk is also higher. Enjoy it as part of the entertainment.
Live In-Play — odds change with every ball
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. You can place bets even after the match has started, and odds update with every delivery.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds increase (lower probability) and the bowling team's odds decrease (higher probability). Several consecutive boundaries quickly shift the odds in the batting team's favour. In T20, dramatic swings in the final 5 overs are common.
In-play markets include: total runs in the next over, whether a wicket will fall on the next ball, and the score after a specific over. These markets open and close quickly, so decisions must be made fast.
Some practical advice before you start betting
- 01 Set your budget first. Decide in advance how much you will spend on each match. Do not place a larger bet in the next round to try to recover money you have lost.
- 02 Understand the format before choosing a market. In T20, Match Winner or live markets are convenient; in Test, Series Winner or session markets work differently.
- 03 Don't put all your markets in one bet. Multi-bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk. It is better to start with a simple Match Winner bet.
- 04 Be patient with live betting. When the first wicket falls at the start of a match, odds change rapidly. Wait for the odds to settle rather than acting in a rush.
- 05 Betting is entertainment — not a business. Cricket betting is a way to add enjoyment to the game. No one can guarantee a profit, so enjoy it within your limits.
