x baazi Cricket Betting — Place bets every moment from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — for Bangladesh's favourite sport, x baazi brings the best markets, straightforward odds, and real-time live betting. A new chance with every ball of the match.
T20, ODI and Test — betting is different in each format
Bangladeshi fans love all three formats of cricket — the fast excitement of T20, the tactical contest of ODI, and the test of patience in Test matches. All three formats have betting markets at x baazi, but the nature of the bets differs slightly in each.
T20
In this 20-over format, the pace of the match is so fast that odds change frequently. After every six or wicket, new numbers appear in the live market. BPL and IPL are primarily T20 format tournaments, so this format is the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans.
ODI
In a fifty-over match, both strategy and patience are needed. Tracking which way the run rate is going in the middle overs, and who is batting — analysing this information makes it easier to decide which market to choose. The total runs over/under market is quite popular in ODIs.
Test
In this five-day format, a draw is a possible result, so the market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In Test matches, session-by-session leads, pitch conditions, and weather all influence odds. If you can stay focused over a long period, this format is enjoyable.
Football and other sports — where does the betting differ?
Alongside cricket, football is also very popular in Bangladesh. During the World Cup or major leagues, millions of people sit in front of screens. x baazi also has markets for football — match winner, goals over/under, number of corners, and more.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is in the type of outcome. In cricket (particularly T20 and ODI), there are generally two results — win or loss (no draw), so the betting calculation is straightforward. In football, there are three results — win, loss, and draw — which gives the odds a different structure. In live betting, odds move significantly after a goal in football, just as they shift after a wicket in cricket.
In sports like tennis, badminton, or kabaddi, there are generally two sides, so the same two-outcome market as cricket applies. Choose the sport you follow most — betting on a sport you know is much more enjoyable.
7 markets that get the most action
In cricket betting, it is important to know which market to bet on. Below are seven common markets, each with a typical example.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — Team A or Team B? The simplest and most common market. There is no draw in T20 and ODI, so the bet is between two options. Example: if Team A is given as favourite with odds of 1.80, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Settled before the match even starts — which team's captain will win the toss. The cricket toss is completely random, so odds for both sides are roughly equal. It is popular in cricket betting as a light, quick market.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team in an innings or across the whole match? Each batsman has separate odds in this market. Batsmen in form generally receive lower odds because their chances are higher.
Total Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in a full innings or a specific group of overs be more (over) or less (under) than a set number? Example: total runs in the first 6 overs over or under 50 — on a batting-friendly pitch, leaning towards the over is natural.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? On spin-friendly pitches, odds shorten for spinners; in pace-friendly conditions, they shorten for fast bowlers. This market becomes more enjoyable with a little research on pitch and weather.
Handicap Betting
To make a one-sided match more balanced, one team is given a runs advantage as a handicap. For example, if Team A has a -10 run handicap, they need to win by more than 10 runs for the bet to win. This market is interesting when there is a big gap in the strength of the two teams.
Multi Bet
Combining bets from multiple matches into a single bet — if one selection loses, the entire bet loses, but if all win, the return is much higher. Example: in an x baazi Bet multi bet, three selections at 1.70, 1.80, and 1.90 give a combined odds of 5.81.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — what is the difference?
Odds at x baazi can be displayed in three formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. Two real examples are used to make this clear.
Example 1 — one price in three forms
| Format | Team A wins | Return on ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳1,500 |
| American | +200 | ৳1,500 |
All three formats are saying the same thing — a winning ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit plus the original ৳500 stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — a favourite's odds
| Format | Team B wins | Return on ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | ৳625 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳625 |
| American | -400 | ৳625 |
In the American format, a minus sign (-400) means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. Team B is a strong favourite, so the profit is comparatively small. A ৳500 bet that wins returns a total of ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Odds shift with wickets and overs — how live betting works
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is live or in-play betting. In cricket, the situation changes after every ball, so odds change too.
For example, if wickets fall quickly in the powerplay, the batting team's odds lengthen (because their chances of winning have dropped) and the bowling team's odds shorten. Conversely, if a batsman scores quickly, the bowling team's odds start to lengthen.
In the final overs, odds move rapidly based on the required run rate given the target and balls remaining. These are the moments when the market is most active.
Live betting is easy on mobile too. The x baazi Android and iOS app is available through official channels, with real-time score and odds updates.
Things to keep in mind for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment. The tips below will help you enjoy betting more mindfully.
Set a budget beforehand
Decide how much you will bet before each match. Not going beyond the set amount is the key to enjoying betting. For more on responsible betting, read the Responsible Gaming page.
Start with one market
For beginners, the match winner market is the simplest. Once you have a little experience, try the total runs or toss market. There is no need to bet on many markets at once.
Check the pitch and weather
Rain or dew can affect the total runs market. Knowing whether the pitch report favours batting or bowling makes it easier to decide on the top batsman or bowler market.
No rushing in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Rather than placing a bet immediately after a big swing in the heat of the moment, wait a little — understand whether the situation has genuinely changed.
Keep multi bets limited
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk — if one selection loses, everything is gone. The more selections you combine, the lower the chance of winning.
