Cricket Betting at 9bet — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Top markets for BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches, live in-play betting, and familiar Bangladeshi payment methods — all in one place.
A Different Betting Experience Across Three Formats
T20, ODI and Test each have their own pace and strategy, so the betting experience differs across each format. 9bet offers markets for all three.
T20 — Fast-Paced Betting
T20 is the most popular format in BPL and IPL. In a 20-over game, situations change in an instant, so markets shift before every over.
ODI — The Longer Contest
In a 50-over match, markets are shaped by the toss, pitch conditions and first innings runs. ODI draws the most attention in ICC tournaments.
Test — A Five-Day Game of Patience
In Test cricket, markets cover not just the match winner but also innings runs and the three possible outcomes — win, win or draw. Over the long duration, the market can shift as conditions change.
Tournaments popular with Bangladeshi fans
BPL brings a special sense of excitement to cricket fans across the country every season — watching local teams compete and backing your favourite side adds an extra dimension. Many bettors from Bangladesh also follow IPL, as it is the most-watched T20 league in the world. Before Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments, markets see increased activity — 9bet carries markets for all these tournaments.
Football and Other Sports Markets
Cricket is 9bet's largest sports section, but there are also notable football markets. Football matches are decided in 90 minutes and a draw is a standard result, so markets carry odds for three outcomes (1X2). In T20 and ODI cricket, there are usually two outcomes (two-way odds), while Test cricket has three.
Match winner markets in sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi are straightforward, but cricket offers far greater market variety — from the toss to runs in a specific over. That variety is what sets cricket betting apart.

Which Markets to Bet on in Cricket
From match winner to runs in a specific over — each market works differently. Here is a brief introduction to 7 key markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win? Team A or Team B (in T20/ODI), or Team A, Team B or Draw (in Test). For example: if Team A is the favourite in a T20, their odds will be lower.
Toss Winner
Decided before the match begins. Which team — A or B — will win the toss? This two-outcome market usually has odds close to each other.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in an innings? Choose from multiple options. The more competitors, the higher the odds.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs be above or below a set number? For example: will the total runs in the first innings exceed 160? Team strength and pitch conditions are key factors here.
First 6 Overs Runs
How many runs will be scored in the powerplay? This is very popular in T20 because fielding restrictions in the first 6 overs make scoring patterns more predictable.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Bet on multiple markets at once — if all selections are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds. If any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap and Player Props
In a handicap market, one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to balance the odds. For example, if Team A receives a -20 run handicap, 20 runs are deducted from their final score when settling the bet. Player props let you bet on whether a specific bowler will take a certain number of wickets or a batter will score above or below a set run total.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
9bet may display odds in all three formats. Real examples make it easier to understand.
The odds shown in all three formats above represent the same outcome — Team A to win. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
What do odds look like for the favourite?
Say Team B is the favourite — their decimal odds are 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. The minus sign in American odds means you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
How are odds combined in a multi bet?
Three selections with odds of 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56. A ৳100 bet returns ৳456 if all three win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is lost — so a multi bet carries higher risk but also a higher potential return.
Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls — In-Play Betting
Betting placed while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. It differs from standard pre-match betting because the situation on the field changes after every ball, and odds are recalculated accordingly.
For example: if Team A's score is 85/1 at the 10th over, they are the favourite and their match winner odds will be low. But if two wickets fall in the next two overs, the odds will rise quickly. In-play betting lets you feel those shifts as they happen.
As the run rate pressure builds with each passing over, the underdog's odds begin to shorten. In a T20, with only 3 wickets in hand in the final 5 overs, odds can change ball by ball. Watching the game closely and placing bets in that fast-moving environment is what makes in-play betting engaging.
Live betting on 9bet is also available on mobile. Both live markets can be viewed and bets placed easily on Android and iOS through the 9bet app.
What markets are available in in-play betting
- Runs in the next over — over/under
- Will a wicket fall on the next ball
- Total runs in the current partnership
- Match winner (updated odds)
- Total runs at the end of the innings
Things to Keep in Mind Before Placing a Bet
Keeping a few general points in mind helps make cricket betting a better experience as a form of entertainment.
-
Set a fixed budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start betting. Do not go beyond that limit.
-
Understand the match format
Betting on T20 and Test is quite different — choose your markets based on the format.
-
Focus on fewer selections
Rather than betting across many markets at once, analyse one or two properly.
-
Take your time with live betting
In in-play markets, watch how things develop before placing a bet rather than deciding in a rush.
-
Be restrained with multi bets
Multi bets can return more, but the risk is also higher — avoid adding too many selections.
-
Betting is entertainment, not income
Cricket betting is for enjoyment — do not treat it as a regular source of income.
