Cricket Betting at evobet — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion in Bangladesh. Bet on T20, ODI and Test matches at evobet and follow live odds ball by ball.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Leagues
Cricket betting in Bangladesh is mostly driven by T20 matches, as they finish quickly and every over brings fresh excitement. BPL season sees the highest interest, particularly for matches involving Dhaka's teams. evobet also keeps markets open for IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup.
ODI betting works a bit differently — odds shift repeatedly through a 50-over match, with run rate and wickets being key factors in the middle overs. Test cricket spans five days, so the markets are more varied — session results, first wicket of the day, and innings totals are among the options available.
Betting volume is highest when the Bangladesh cricket team, the Tigers, plays international matches. Between ICC events, bilateral series and the Asia Cup, there is cricket to follow throughout the year.
Bet on Football and Other Sports
Football Betting
After cricket, football is the most popular sport to bet on in Bangladesh. UEFA Champions League, Premier League and World Cup matches offer match winner, correct score and handicap markets. Unlike cricket, a draw is a separate result in football, so there are three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
Other Sports
Beyond cricket and football, evobet offers betting on other sports as well. To see all sports betting features, visit the evobet Bet page, where you will find a full list of available sports markets.
Popular Cricket Markets and How They Work
Each market has slightly different rules. Here is a plain explanation of seven markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — who wins the match? T20 and ODI have two outcomes (Team A or Team B); Test has three (Team A, Team B, or draw). If Team A's odds are 2.10, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,100 on a win.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is known before the first ball is bowled. Toss market odds are usually close to even for both teams.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in an innings. With more players to choose from, odds here are generally higher. Markets are available both within a single team and across the full match.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a number (e.g. 320). You bet on whether the total runs will be more (over) or fewer (under). Pitch conditions, weather and each team's batting strength can help inform the decision.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections combined into a single bet — all selections must be correct to win. Example: three selections at 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 combined odds; a ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three win.
First Wicket / Powerplay Runs
Markets on at what score the first wicket will fall, or how many runs will be scored in the powerplay. These markets are active from the very first over and tend to settle quickly, which makes them popular.
Betting Exchange
A betting exchange is a different concept from a standard bookmaker. BACK means betting for a team in the usual way; LAY means taking the bookmaker's role — accepting a bet against that team. When you LAY, your liability is calculated upfront.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Betting sites display odds in three formats. They may look different but they all represent the same outcome. Use the example below to see how they match up.
Example 1: Team A to win, bet ৳1,000
| Format | Written as | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Returns 3x the stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If you win, you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2: Team B is the favourite, bet ৳1,000
| Format | Written as | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Less profit, more certainty |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | ৳400 bet needed to make ৳100 profit |
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 on a win (৳250 profit). Negative American odds indicate a favourite — they show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
BACK and LAY — How Exchange Betting Works
On a betting exchange, you play against other bettors, not the bookmaker. Two options are available: BACK and LAY.
Example at decimal odds of 1.80:
- BACK Team A, stake ৳1,000 — if Team A wins, ৳800 profit (before commission); if not, ৳1,000 is lost.
- LAY Team A (bettor's stake ৳1,000) — your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80); if Team A does not win, you collect ৳1,000 (before commission); if Team A wins, you pay out ৳800.
Odds Shift with Every Wicket — Live In-Play Betting
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. Odds are recalculated after every ball — a wicket pushes the batting team's odds up, a big six brings them down. This pace is what makes cricket betting particularly engaging.
In T20 matches, odds can shift dramatically after the powerplay ends or during a run of consecutive maiden overs in the middle overs. In ODI matches, odds move at a different pace once the death overs begin after the 30th over.
Live betting requires a fast connection on mobile or desktop. The evobet app has a live betting interface designed to be comfortable on mobile.
Some Useful Advice for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will help make the experience better.
- Understand the format before betting — T20 and Test markets behave differently. In T20, a single over can change the match; in Test, shifts happen gradually.
- Focus on one market at a time — rather than placing bets across many markets at once, concentrating on one or two builds your understanding over time.
- Be careful with multi bets — combined odds may look attractive, but every individual selection must be correct. One wrong pick and the whole bet is lost.
- Set a budget — decide on a fixed amount before each session and do not exceed it. Read the responsible gaming guidelines for more on this.
- Live betting moves fast — odds change quickly, so take a moment to think before placing a bet. Avoid placing large bets in a rush.
- Betting is for fun — cricket betting is a form of entertainment, not a guaranteed source of income. Enjoy each match for what it is.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a notional run or wicket advantage to level the contest. The bet wins based on which team comes out ahead after the handicap is applied.
Over/Under
A bet on whether a given number will be exceeded or not reached. Runs, wickets, boundaries — many types of over/under markets are available.
Cash Out
The option to settle a bet before the match ends. It can be used to lock in a profit when odds are favourable, or to reduce a potential loss.
Duckworth-Lewis (D/L)
A method used to recalculate the target when a match is interrupted by rain or other causes. When a match finishes via D/L, bets are also settled according to the revised score.
