Cricket Betting at 89db bat — All Formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport with ease. Find match winner, toss, top batsman and live betting markets for all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — at 89db bat.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Favourite Tournaments
The first step to understanding cricket betting is understanding the formats. The style of play differs across each format, so the markets work differently too.
Twenty20
The shortest format — 20 overs per side. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format, making it the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Matches finish quickly, so live odds change fast.
One-Day Match
50 overs per side. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. In the longer innings, batsman performance and run-rate markets carry particular importance.
Test Cricket
A five-day match — the oldest and most traditional format of cricket. A draw is possible, so there are three-result markets here. Pitch conditions and weather have a significant influence on odds.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is Bangladesh's domestic T20 league — it holds a special appeal for local cricket fans. The Indian Premier League (IPL) takes place every year in April–May and features the best cricketers in the world — it also carries the highest number of betting markets of any tournament.
Bangladesh Tigers matches in the ICC T20 World Cup and the One-Day World Cup receive special attention here. Beyond that, 89db bat also regularly offers markets for the Asia Cup and bilateral series.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football is also an important section at 89db bat. Markets such as match winner, goals over/under and both teams to score are available for Premier League, La Liga, UEFA events and Bangladesh football matches.
There are some key differences between betting on cricket and football. In cricket there is no break mid-innings, so live betting odds can change after every ball. In football a draw is a possible result and odds shift gradually over the full 90 minutes. In Test cricket a draw is a separate outcome, giving three options in the same market; in T20 there are generally only two.
Markets are also available for Kabaddi, tennis and badminton. For more detail on betting strategies and rules, visit the betting tips page — it has separate guides for different sports.
Cricket vs Football Betting
- A draw is possible in football, not in T20
- In cricket, odds can change on every ball
- Test has 3 results (win/loss/draw)
- Football has a separate half-time market
- Cricket has more player-specific markets
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
You can bet on many types of markets in cricket. The most familiar markets are briefly explained below.
| Market | How it works |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are two options; in Test there are three (Team A win, Team B win, draw). For example — in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and Team B wins, the bet is successful. |
| Toss Winner | A bet on which team will win the toss. Completely separate from the match result — winning the toss does not mean winning the match. The odds for both sides are usually close to equal. |
| Top Batsman | A bet on which player will score the most runs in the match or innings. You choose from multiple players, so the odds are generally higher. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Whether the total runs scored in the match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. The type of pitch and the state of the wicket play an important role in this market. |
| Multi Bet | Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases, but if one is wrong the entire bet loses. Detailed multi bet strategies can be found on the betting tips page. |
| Method of First Wicket | A bet on how the first wicket in the match will fall — bowled, LBW, caught, run out. Less commonly known but the odds are higher. |
| Handicap Betting | The stronger team is artificially set back to make the match more even. For example — if Team A is given a 20-run handicap, they are treated as starting the match 20 runs behind. |
How to Read Odds — Examples in Three Formats
Betting odds can be shown in three different ways. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
The odds for Team A to win can be written in three ways:
Example 2 — Odds for the favourite
When Team B is the favourite their odds are lower:
The decimal format is the easiest way to understand total return — simply multiply the stake by the odds. 89db bat generally shows decimal odds as the default.
Odds Change When a Wicket Falls — How Live Betting Works
As well as betting before a match starts, you can also bet while the match is in progress — this is in-play or live betting. In cricket, odds are recalculated after every ball, every wicket and every over.
When a wicket falls
If a strong batsman from the batting side is dismissed, their odds of winning increase — meaning the return increases too.
After the powerplay
If a lot of runs are scored in the powerplay, the batting side's odds shorten; if fewer runs are scored, the odds lengthen.
Run rate and target
In a chase, as the required run rate rises, the bowling side's odds shorten — meaning their chances of winning decrease.
Rain or bad light
If the chance of play being suspended increases and D/L method becomes likely, odds can shift suddenly.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. The tips below may be useful for both new and experienced bettors.
Start with one format
Pick either T20 or ODI, understand it well, then start betting. It is better not to try to cover all three formats at once.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Placing larger bets to recover losses is not a wise approach.
Understand the market before you bet
Toss, match winner and total runs over/under are the three simplest markets and a good starting point for beginners.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change quickly during a match. Rather than placing a bet in a hurry, observe for a while — especially after the powerplay ends.
Play Responsibly
Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income. If you feel the need, check the responsible gaming guidelines and use the limit-setting features.
Not Just Cricket — Super Keno Is Here Too

Full details about how to play Super Keno, how to pick numbers and the payout structure are available on that page.
