Cricket Betting at l89bet — Bet on All Formats from T20 to Test
From BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup to international series — multiple markets are open for every cricket match at l89bet. Match winner to live in-play, all in one place.
The formats Bangladeshi cricket fans bet on
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. In T20 matches the situation changes ball by ball, making this the most active format for betting. Odds can shift in an instant the moment a wicket falls within an over. ODI matches give you time to think about strategy between the two innings, and Test cricket produces a wide range of small and large markets across five days.
Cricket betting at l89bet picks up especially during the BPL season as fans analyse every match before and after it is played. The same pattern is seen during IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup. Bangladesh Tigers matches in international series see the highest betting traffic.
Beyond cricket, you can also bet on football, tennis and other sports at l89bet. One difference between cricket and football is that draws do not normally occur in T20 or ODI cricket (though they do in Test), whereas football has three possible outcomes — home win, draw or away win — giving the odds a different structure.
T20
Just 20 overs per side, so every ball matters. Most BPL and IPL matches are played in this format. Best suited for quick results and live betting.
BPL · IPL · T20 WCODI
A 50-over match features two innings, two powerplays and mid-over strategy — giving you more opportunities to bet across different markets.
ICC · Bilateral SeriesTest
Session-based markets are available across five days of play. With three possible results including a draw, the odds structure is different. The best way to understand cricket in depth.
ICC Test · SeriesPopular markets in cricket betting
In a single match you can bet on much more than just the winner. Below are seven markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. Example: you bet on Team A to beat Team B.
All FormatsToss Winner
Which team will win the toss — this market is entirely chance-based and closes before the match starts. Odds on both options are usually close.
Pre-Match| Market | Brief description and example |
|---|---|
| Top Batsman | Bet on who will score the most runs in the innings. Example: you think Team A's opener will be the top scorer. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Choose whether the team's total runs in the first innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: whether Team A will score more than 165 runs. |
| First Wicket | A market on which over or at what run total the first wicket will fall. The opening overs require close attention. |
| Top Wicket Taker | Who will take the most wickets in the match — analysis of whether a spinner or a pacer has the advantage comes in handy here. |
| Multi Bet | Combine outcomes from multiple matches into one bet. You get the full return only if all selections win — one wrong and the entire bet is lost. |
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
The odds for the same outcome can be written in different formats. The numbers look different but mean the same thing. Two examples will make this clear.
Example 1 — Team A to win (stake ৳200)
Three ways of showing the same price: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If the bet wins you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
In decimal format, multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return: ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450.
Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite)
Favourite's price: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here a ৳200 stake returns ৳360 (৳160 profit).
A favourite's decimal odds will always be below 2.00, because the higher chance of winning means comparatively less profit.
Betting is for entertainment. There is no guarantee of making a profit from betting. Understanding odds does not give you a strategic advantage — no one can know the result of any match in advance. Learn more about responsible gaming.
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — in-play betting
LIVE In-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. It is most popular in T20 because the situation can change from one moment to the next.
Say Team A loses 3 wickets in the first powerplay — their odds to win will lengthen immediately (meaning the price on them gets bigger), because the bookmaker considers them to be behind. Conversely, if Team B keeps picking up wickets quickly, their odds to win will shorten.
Market odds adjust after every over, after every wicket and even after every big boundary. This dynamic is what sets in-play betting apart. Keep in mind, though, that making rushed decisions when odds are moving fast increases the chance of mistakes.
In-play betting works differently in Test matches — markets respond to pitch conditions, weather and the session of the day. On a spin-friendly pitch on the fifth day, odds can look completely different from how they started.
A few things to know before starting cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more disciplined.
-
01
Set a budget first. Decide in your mind how much you will bet on each match and stick to that limit. If you lose, it is better not to chase the loss with a bigger bet.
-
02
Focus on one market at a time. Concentrating on one market — match winner or top batsman — when starting out helps you build an understanding of odds more quickly.
-
03
Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple selections means one wrong pick loses the whole bet. If you do place multi bets, keep the stake small. Check the full multi bet rules at l89bet Bet.
-
04
Stay level-headed with live betting. When excitement builds on the field, market odds move fast too. Rather than betting impulsively, take a moment to observe before placing.
-
05
Use session-based markets in Test matches. Pace bowlers tend to dominate the morning session while batsmen have more of an advantage in the afternoon — understanding this pattern can be useful.
Play responsibly
Betting is fun — but losing control can cause problems. Know your limits and take a break when you need to.

Alongside cricket, you can bet on football at l89bet. What makes football different is that a match has three possible outcomes — home win, draw or away win — which gives the odds a different structure from cricket. Handicap markets are popular in football, where the weaker team is given a head start in goals.
In-play markets are also available for badminton, table tennis and tennis. Points change quickly in these sports, so in-play odds move fast too.
