r baazi Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup with the Best Markets
r baazi brings cricket betting across all formats for fans in Bangladesh — match winner, toss, live in-play, top batsman and many more markets.
Which format do you want to bet on?
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test. Betting works a little differently in each format, as match length and scoring patterns vary.
T20 is the fastest format. Results can shift quickly in a 20-over match, making it the most popular for live betting. T20 leagues run throughout the year, from Bangladesh's BPL to India's IPL. The ICC T20 World Cup, held every two years, also brings fresh action for cricket fans.
In the ODI format, total runs betting and partnership markets are popular in 50-over matches. In Test cricket, a draw is also a possible result, so there are three outcomes to bet on — making the betting markets more varied.
Bangladesh Tigers' international matches get special attention on r baazi. If you are also interested in football or other sports alongside international cricket, visit the r baazi Bet page for details on various sports.
How betting on cricket differs from football and other sports
Cricket is the biggest betting market in Bangladesh because people understand the finer details of the game and have a good sense of the match conditions. In cricket, the type of bowling (spin/pace), pitch conditions and weather directly affect the result — these are things worth thinking about before placing a bet.
In football, goals are few across 90 minutes, so besides win/draw/lose markets, Asian handicap and goal over-under are very common. When one side carries a large handicap, the weaker team starts with a set number of goals in their favour — this is explained as an outcome, without referencing stake or return.
In sports like kabaddi or volleyball, the number of markets is comparatively low and odds are often limited to a straight match winner. Cricket has much greater market depth — you can bet across dozens of different markets in a single match.

Popular cricket betting markets
A single match offers many different betting options. Below, seven main markets are explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Example: if you think Team A will win, select Team A — the bet wins if Team A wins.
Toss Market
A bet on who will win the toss. There are two outcomes, so odds are usually close to even. Example: Team B will win the toss — the result is known once the toss takes place.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs for their team. Example: the bet wins if a specific batter tops the run chart for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: whether total runs will be more than 320.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Example: the bet wins if a Team B bowler takes three or more wickets.
Run Handicap
The gap is narrowed by giving the weaker team a virtual advantage. Example: if Team A is given a -25 run handicap, Team A must win by 26 or more runs for the bet to win.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Multiple selections combined into one bet. Example: pick the winner of three separate matches in a single bet — all must be correct to win; one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
Decimal, Fractional and American — understand odds formats easily
The same price can be written in three different ways. Below, all three formats are shown together using a concrete example.
| Format | Team A (winning price) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Shows total return including stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Shows profit ratio only |
| American | +200 | Profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (backing Team A, stake ৳200): Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, you get back ৳600 — which includes ৳400 profit and your ৳200 stake. If the bet loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 (Team B is favourite, stake ৳200): Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 stake, you get back ৳250 — a profit of only ৳50.
Decimal is the simplest format — multiply the stake by the odds to get the return. r baazi uses decimal format by default.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — what makes live in-play betting different
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In this mode, odds update after every ball, giving you the chance to make decisions based on what is happening on the field.
Say Team A is batting and two wickets fall in quick succession — Team A's odds to win will lengthen (because their chances have dropped) and Team B's odds will shorten. Similarly, if Team A needs only 15 runs off the last over, their odds to win will drop rapidly.
In over-by-over markets you can bet on how many runs will be scored in each over. Wicket markets may also include options like "how will the next wicket fall" — caught, LBW, run out and so on.
Live betting is fastest in T20 matches, as the whole picture can change in just 6 balls. In ODI, the middle overs are often slower — that is when run rate betting markets can present opportunities.
In live betting, decisions must be made quickly, so it is important to keep to your budget. You can find answers to common questions about live betting on our FAQ page.
Multiple selections in one bet — how multi bets work
In a multi bet, the odds of all selections are multiplied together to give a combined odds figure. The potential return is higher, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Example (Multi Bet — three matches): You select three teams across three separate matches with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively. Combined odds = 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct, you get back ৳336. But if any one loses, you lose the full ৳100.
Multi bets add to the fun, but the risk is also higher. It is better to get comfortable with single bets first.

Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — not as a guaranteed way to make money. Keeping the following points in mind will help make the experience more organised.
-
Set a budget first: Before each betting session, decide on a limit for yourself and stick to it. You should not go beyond your budget trying to recover losses.
-
Understand the match format: T20 and Test markets are different. It makes sense to focus on the format you are most interested in and know best.
-
Multiple markets in one match: Instead of looking only at the match winner, also check total runs or top batsman markets — varied markets keep betting more interesting.
-
Be patient in live betting: Rather than placing all your bets at the start of the match, watch a few overs to read the situation and then decide.
-
Betting is entertainment, not income: Think of betting as part of enjoying the game. It should not be relied on as a source of income. Share your decisions with family or friends.
-
Control your time: Decide in advance how much time you will spend on betting. Long sessions reduce focus and make decision-making harder.
