Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments

Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own character from a betting perspective. In T20, matches end quickly, results can be quite unpredictable and odds may shift every over. In ODI, you weigh the market against a 10-wicket and 50-over equation. In Test, five days of play produce three possible results including a draw, making the markets even more varied.

The most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi bettors are BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup. BPL has its own excitement as local teams face each other. IPL matches between Indian teams also attract strong interest from bettors here. Interest is even higher when the Tigers play in international series. You can bet on all these tournaments at bazi.

Alongside cricket, bazi also offers betting on football and several other sports. In football, a 90-minute match has three possible results — win, loss or draw — which is different from a T20 or ODI. Football also has special markets like half-time/full-time result or number of corners. By comparison, cricket markets are more varied because there are separate markets for wickets, overs, runs and partnerships.

Popular Cricket Betting Markets

At bazi, you can place bets across several types of markets in a single cricket match. Below are seven popular markets briefly explained.

Match Winner

Match Winner

A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes (team A or team B); in Test, a draw is also included. The simplest market — a good place to start.

Toss Winner

Toss

A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result depends entirely on chance, so the odds for both sides are usually close.

Top Batsman

Top Batsman

A bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings. Separate odds are offered for specific batters in the team.

Total Runs Over/Under

Over / Under

A bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number — for example, whether an innings will go above 160 runs.

Top Bowler

Top Bowler

A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Odds depend on the bowler's form and pitch conditions.

Multi Bet

Multi Bet

Multiple matches or markets combined into a single bet. If every selection is correct the return multiplies significantly, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses.

Powerplay Runs

Powerplay Runs

A bet on how many runs will be scored during the powerplay overs in a T20 or ODI (usually the first 6 overs). Aggressive starts from batters make this market interesting.

Multi Bet example: If three separate selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections are correct you get back ৳479. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.

A Simple Guide to Three Odds Formats

At bazi and other betting sites, odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three formats express the same information in different ways.

Format Odds on Team A Winning Explanation
Decimal 2.25 Total return = stake × odds. On a ৳1,000 winning bet you get back ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000).
Fractional 5/4 ৳5 profit for every ৳4 wagered. On a ৳1,000 winning bet, profit is ৳1,250 and total return is ৳2,250.
American +125 A plus sign means underdog — ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. On a ৳1,000 bet, profit is ৳1,250.

The three odds above (2.25 / 5/4 / +125) are all the same — team A's chance of winning is identical, only the way it is written differs. If you lose, your entire ৳1,000 stake is gone.

What do odds look like for the favourite?

If team B is the favourite, decimal odds might be 1.25 (fractional 1/4, American -400). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if team B wins you get back ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). If team A wins, you lose ৳1,000.

bazi generally shows decimal odds because they are the easiest to calculate. Betting is for entertainment only — there is no guarantee of winning on any bet.

bazi Live In-Play Betting on Cricket Matches

Live Betting — Odds shift when a wicket falls

A bet placed before a match starts is called a pre-match bet. In live or in-play betting, you can place a bet at any point while the game is going on. In cricket this is especially engaging because the situation can change with every delivery.

Say team A is batting and at 10 overs they are 85 for 2. At that moment team A's odds of winning will be slightly lower. If two more wickets fall in the next over, team B's odds will shorten and team A's odds will lengthen — because the situation has changed. In live betting these shifts happen within seconds.

In-play betting also includes markets such as next wicket (in which over it will fall), runs over/under in the next 5 overs, or at what score the current partnership will end. Keep in mind that live odds change very quickly, so if you take a moment to decide, the odds may already be different.

For detailed betting rules, see the Terms and Conditions page. Alongside cricket at bazi, other sports betting options are also available at bazi Bet.

A Few Practical Tips Before You Start Betting

If you want to enjoy betting as entertainment, it helps to keep a few basic things in mind.

1
Set a budget

Decide in advance how much you will bet each week or month. Do not go beyond that limit. Betting is for entertainment — you should not increase your stake in an attempt to recover losses.

2
Understand one market well

Start by focusing on simple markets like match winner. Placing bets across many complex markets at once can be confusing at first.

3
Be careful with multi bets

Multi bets offer higher potential returns but getting every selection right is also harder. Three selections with odds of 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 may look attractive, but one wrong pick loses the entire bet.

4
Choose markets to suit the format

Because T20 is a fast game, live betting is more common. For Test matches, long-term match winner or innings-based markets make more sense. In ODI, there is opportunity to bet mid-innings.

5
Take breaks

Instead of betting on match after match without stopping, take breaks in between. If betting starts to feel tedious or stressful, stop. For more information, read the Responsible Gaming Guide.

Common Questions

In T20, a match lasts only 20 overs, so results come quickly and live betting is more common. In ODI, the result is decided over 50 overs and there is more variety in markets. In Test, three results are possible over five days — including a draw — so the markets are even wider. Match winner, top batsman and over/under markets are available in every format.

During a match, the situation shifts after every wicket, boundary or dot ball, and the odds update accordingly. For example, if team A loses wickets in quick succession, the odds on team B winning shorten. In live betting these changes happen very fast, so if you take too long to decide, the odds may have already moved.

Decimal odds of 2.25 mean you multiply your stake by 2.25 to get the total return. On a ৳1,000 bet you get back ৳1,000 × 2.25 = ৳2,250 if you win — that is ৳1,250 profit plus your original ৳1,000 stake. If you lose, you lose ৳1,000. This is the same as fractional odds of 5/4 or American odds of +125.

Yes, both BPL and IPL are T20 format tournaments, so the types of markets are essentially the same. Match winner, toss winner, top batsman, total runs over/under and multi bets are all available. In international matches that include a Test, a draw is added as a possible result.

Yes, at bazi you can place bets while the match is in progress through in-play or live betting. Many people prefer live betting because they can watch how the game is going before placing a bet. However, since live odds change rapidly, if you take too long to decide the odds may shift.
