Cricket Betting at bazi – bet on BPL, IPL, and international matches
Make your favourite sport even more engaging. At bazi's cricket betting platform you can bet across all three formats — T20, ODI, and Test — with live odds that update every ball.
Three Cricket Formats and Betting
Each format has its own pace and strategy — understanding the difference matters for betting too.
Twenty20
A match of just 20 overs — results shift quickly. BPL, IPL, and T20 World Cup are all played in this format. The most popular with bettors, because live odds create new opportunities moment to moment.
One Day International
In a 50-over match the pace is relatively slower, but dramatic turns can still occur. Bettors tend to prefer this format for top batsman and total runs markets.
Test Cricket
A long contest spanning five days — a draw is always possible. There are more opportunities for long-term bets on series winner, first innings lead, or top wicket-taker.
Which competition should you bet on?
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the closest competition. This tournament features the country's top players alongside international stars.
Alongside it, IPL — India's franchise league — is equally popular in Bangladesh. Fans from both countries watch the matches and place bets with the same enthusiasm.
Betting on ICC T20 World Cup and other international tournaments is also available at bazi. In Tigers matches, every over and every wicket adds another dimension to the betting experience.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Besides cricket, bazi also offers football betting. A football match has three possible outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. Because of these three results, the odds structure is different from cricket.
In limited-overs cricket a draw is generally not possible, so the odds are split between two outcomes and the market feels somewhat simpler. Football has added complexity with extra time, penalties, and handicap markets.
Other sports such as tennis, badminton, and kabaddi also have match winner and handicap markets, but cricket remains the first choice for bettors in Bangladesh. It is wise to understand each sport's rules and statistics before placing a bet.
Popular Betting Markets
At bazi you can bet on different aspects of a cricket match. Here is a brief overview of the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. For example: choose either team A or team B and place your bet.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. Results are known quickly and the odds are usually close between the two teams.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. This market is available both by team and for the whole match.
Total Runs
Bet on whether the total runs scored in the first innings or the whole match will be over or under a set number.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — pitch conditions and the bowler's form need to be considered for this market.
How to Read Odds
There are three types of odds formats in betting — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability in different ways.
Example 1 — the same price in three forms
Say you put ৳1,000 on team A to win. Here is how the odds would be written in each format:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Stake × 2.25 = total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| ৳1,000 bet — if you win, return: ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake) | ||
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower:
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Lower return, more likely outcome |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | You must bet ৳400 to win ৳100 |
| ৳1,000 bet — if you win, return: ৳1,250 (৳250 profit) | ||
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100.
How Does a Multi Bet Work?
In a multi bet the odds of each selection are multiplied together. Say three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80 respectively — the combined odds would be:
A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three selections win — if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Keep in Mind
- Betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit
- Only bet money you can afford to lose
- Read the Responsible Gaming policy
In-Play Betting: While the Match is On
With live or in-play betting you can place bets even after the match has started. Every wicket that falls, every boundary hit — the odds change instantly.
For example: team A is batting first and has quickly lost two early wickets. At that moment, team A's odds of winning will rise because their position has weakened. But if an experienced batsman plays a big innings in the next over, the odds will swing back again.
Live markets are most active when a team is chasing runs in the final over. The fewer balls remaining, the faster the odds move — keeping a clear head when placing bets in this environment is the sensible approach.

Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is one way to enjoy yourself — keeping that perspective makes for a better experience.
Understand the format before you bet
T20, ODI, and Test — each format moves at its own pace. In T20 a single over can change the match; in Test you need five days of patience. Start with the format you know best.
Focus on one market
Start by focusing on straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Placing bets across many markets at once makes it hard to keep track.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much money you will set aside for each session. Stay within that limit — do not go over your budget out of excitement from winning or frustration from losing.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play markets — there is a temptation to bet in a hurry. Take a moment to read the situation, then make your decision.
Keep it for entertainment
It is better not to expect a regular income from betting. See each bet as an extra way to enjoy the match. You can learn more about responsible betting.
