Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments

ak44 logo Cricket Match Live Betting Markets

In cricket betting, three formats get the most attention — T20, ODI and Test. Each format plays differently, so betting strategies differ too.

T20 is the shortest and fastest format — each team gets only 20 overs. Bangladesh's BPL and India's IPL are the biggest tournaments in this format. In Bangladesh, interest in betting on every Bangladesh Tigers match at the T20 World Cup is the highest of all.

ODI is a 50-over-per-side match — this format is seen in the ICC World Cup as well as bilateral series. Bettors here show the most interest in markets like top batsman or total runs.

Test is the longest format — it can last up to five days and a draw is a valid result. Odds move more slowly in Test cricket compared to T20 or ODI, but each session brings new opportunities in in-play betting.

Alongside these three formats, ak44 logo offers various markets for international cricket, BPL and IPL matches. If you want to bet on sports other than cricket, head to ak44 logo Bet to see markets for football, badminton and many other sports.

Football and Other Sports Betting

ak44 logo Football and Sports Betting Markets

After cricket, football is the most popular choice among bettors in Bangladesh. For international tournaments and club league matches, match winner, both teams to score and total goals are the most commonly used markets.

The key difference between cricket and football is the number of possible results — in cricket (T20, ODI) only two outcomes are possible (team A wins or team B wins), but in football a draw is a separate result, so the odds structure is different. A draw is also possible in Test cricket, so it too has a three-way result market like football.

Sports like Kabaddi, badminton or basketball generally have fewer betting markets, but during local tournaments interest in these sports grows as well. Those interested in casino games beyond sports betting will find a large collection of live casino and slot games at ak44 logo Casino.

Cricket's 6 Popular Markets

Each market works differently. Below is a brief explanation of how each one works — the examples are for understanding only, not actual odds.

Match Winner

The simplest market — which team will win the match? In T20 and ODI there are only two options; in Test there are three (team A, team B or draw). Example: pick team B against team A.

Most Popular
Toss Winner

Settled before the match begins — which team will win the toss? The result is completely separate from match performance, so odds stay roughly even.

Pre-Match
Top Batsman

Which batter will score the most runs for their team? This market lets you bet across multiple players within one team.

Individual Performance
Total Runs Over / Under

The bookmaker sets a specific number — say 165 runs. You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above that number (over) or below it (under).

Runs Based
Multi Bet

Combining multiple bets multiplies the odds together. If all selections are correct the return is higher, but if one loses the entire bet is gone. This is suited for entertainment, not guaranteed earnings.

Multiple Matches
Innings Market

How many runs will be scored by the end of a specific over — for example, runs in the first 6 powerplay overs. Understanding the pitch and weather conditions helps here.

Over Based

How to Read Odds in Three Formats

Before betting on cricket, understanding how odds work is important. The same price is written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. The examples below use actual numbers to make it clear.

Example 1 — Team A wins, bet ৳500:

Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125

If the bet wins, you get back ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.

Example 2 — Favourite team B, bet ৳500:

Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125

American minus odds mean: you need ৳125 to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).

All three formats carry the same information — only the way of writing differs. Decimal is the simplest: multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. To learn the full betting rules in detail, read the Terms and Conditions page.

Multi Bet Example

Three selections: Decimal 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70

Combined odds = 3.81 (approximate)

If all win on a ৳100 bet, return: ৳381

If one of the three loses, the full ৳100 is gone.

Live In-Play Betting — Bet During the Match

LIVE

Live betting on cricket is the most dynamic experience. After the match starts, odds keep changing after every wicket, after every big shot and at the end of every over.

For example, if three wickets fall suddenly at the end of the 15th over of a T20 match, the batting team's chance of winning drops, so their odds rise and the bowling team's odds fall. Following these moments closely makes it easier to decide when to place a bet.

In-play betting makes the experience much more active — but remember, it is for enjoyment. To find advice on responsible betting and how to set limits, read the Responsible Gaming page.

A fast internet connection is needed for live betting. With the ak44 logo Android and iOS app you can bet on your mobile while watching a live match — the app is available through the official channel.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting

01

Understand the format before betting

T20 and Test are completely different. A T20 match can turn around in the final over; in Test cricket pitch conditions change day by day. Focus on the format you understand best.

02

Start with one market

As a new bettor it is better to start with a simple market like match winner. Multi bets or in-play betting can come later, once you understand the language of the markets well.

03

Set your budget in advance

Fix a specific amount for each session and do not go beyond it. Betting is entertainment — treat it as a companion to enjoying the match, not as a source of income.

04

Compare odds

Odds for the same match differ before betting starts and while the match is in progress. Live betting requires fast decisions, so decide in advance which market you will go for.

05

No rushing after a loss

After a losing bet, the urge to place a bigger bet to recover is natural, but it increases losses further. Stay within your set budget and take a break if you feel you need one.

Frequently Asked Questions

T20 is the fastest format — a match ends in 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and live betting stays very active. ODI is 50 overs, giving more room for the situation to change mid-way. Test cricket can last up to five days and a draw is a valid result, so the market structure and odds work differently.

Yes, you can combine multiple cricket matches or several markets from the same match into a multi bet. The odds multiply, giving a chance of a higher return, but if even one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Multi bets are good for entertainment, but they are not a reliable way to earn.

In live betting, the bookmaker analyses every event in the match and updates odds in real time. A wicket falling, a big six, a change in run rate or conditions on the field — all of it is reflected in the odds. That is why quick decisions matter in live betting.

The toss is a completely random event — no past history or performance data can predict it. So odds stay roughly even. It can be an entertaining market, but no strategy works here.

Both are T20 format, so the market types are the same. However, the odds may differ due to differences in team strength, pitch conditions, and player form. BPL features more Bangladeshi players, so local bettors naturally show more interest in it.
