Cricket Betting at x bajee — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on the most popular sport in Bangladesh — from live in-play to pre-match markets, x bajee is built with every cricket fan in mind.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own style of betting and its own opportunities.
T20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per side — this is the fastest format. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular with Bangladeshi fans. Every ball can change the game, so live betting is most active here.
Fastest FormatODI Cricket
In a 50-over one-day match, both strategy and endurance matter. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Conditions can shift in the middle of an innings, so in-play markets offer good variety.
50 OversTest Cricket
In the five-day long format, pitch conditions, weather and team strength all play a role. Match Winner, Draw and Innings Runs markets are particularly popular in Test cricket.
5-Day Contest
BPL, IPL and International Series
Every international match played by the Bangladesh Tigers — home or away — is available for betting at x bajee. During BPL, a range of markets is open for every franchise match. Betting on IPL teams during the season is very common in Bangladesh, as fans follow the tournament closely.
x bajee is also active in football betting. However, a key difference from cricket is that cricket has specific markets like draw, wickets, over runs and partnerships — none of which exist in football. Football has goal, corner and card-based markets. Understanding how each sport works makes betting more enjoyable.
7 Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
Each market is different — some are simple, some require more thought. Here is a brief introduction to each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — who wins the match? Team A or Team B? T20 and ODI have just two options; Test adds Draw. Example: you pick Team B, they win, and you earn a return based on the listed odds.
Good Starting PointToss Winner
The result is known before the match begins. Both teams have roughly equal chances of winning the toss, so the odds are usually close. Many people choose this market for a quick result.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a team? This market rewards deeper analysis. If you know Team A's batting lineup well, this one is worth exploring.
Analyst's ChoiceTotal Runs — Over/Under
Will the total runs in an innings or across the match be above or below a set number? Example: if the line in a T20 is 165 runs and you think the pitch is slow and scoring will stay below that, pick Under.
Pitch AnalysisMulti Bet
Combine predictions across multiple matches or markets into a single bet. All selections must win — if one fails, the whole bet is lost. When all selections come through, the odds multiply. Read more about multi bets on the x bajee Bet page.
High Return, High RiskTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? Knowing the bowling lineup and pitch type helps here. In T20, death-over bowlers often have an edge.
Bowling AnalysisFirst Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over? A small but focused market. The form of the opening bowler and openers directly affects this one.
Match OpenerHow to Read and Understand Odds
The same price can be written in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. Explained with examples.
The Same Price in Three Formats
Say Team A is priced to win — Decimal 2.50, Fractional 3/2, American +150 — all three say the same thing. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Now say Team B is the favourite — priced at Decimal 1.80, Fractional 4/5, American -125. The minus sign shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if you win (৳800 profit).
Odds Format Comparison — Same Price, Three Ways of Writing It
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Return on ৳1,000 stake (if Team A wins) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 | ৳2,500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 | ৳2,500 |
| American | +150 | -125 | ৳2,500 |
Team A and Team B — the numbers are examples only, not live odds, and do not guarantee a win.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change the Moment a Wicket Falls
Betting while the match is in progress — in cricket, this is the most fast-moving experience.
Real-Time Odds Movement
A wicket falling or a big six hit shifts the odds immediately. If Team A has lost 6 wickets and scored only 70 runs in 12 overs, Team B's win odds shorten considerably — because Team B is now more likely to win. In-play betting turns these moments into betting opportunities.
Instant UpdatesOver-by-Over Markets
New markets open after every over — runs in the next over, whether a wicket will fall, or what happens on a specific delivery. These markets close quickly, so there is little time to decide.
Quick DecisionsStaying focused during in-play betting is important — the situation can reverse in a single moment. Betting is for entertainment; always stay within your set budget and bet responsibly. To read the responsible betting guidelines, visit our Responsible Gaming page.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
New or experienced — keeping these points in mind will make betting more enjoyable.
Choose Markets Based on the Format
In T20, Total Runs and Match Winner are the most active markets. In Test, Draw is a real outcome, so the Match Winner market has three options. Start with the format you know best.
Start on Familiar GroundSet Your Budget Beforehand
Only set aside what you can afford to lose. Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income. Do not put everything on one match; spread small bets across multiple markets.
Smart Move
Easy Betting on Mobile
The x bajee Android and iOS app is available through official channels. Placing in-play bets while watching a live match on your phone is straightforward.
From AnywhereKeep Multi Bets in Check
A three-selection multi bet multiplies the returns, but also multiplies the risk. Example: Decimal 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 — combined odds are approximately 4.32. A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all come through. If even one fails, the full ৳100 is gone.
High Return, High RiskStart Cricket Betting at x bajee
