Cricket Formats and Competitions — How to Bet on Each

From T20 to Test — the style of betting is different for each format, so it is worth knowing the distinction.

The three main cricket formats are T20, ODI and Test. T20 is the fastest — only 20 overs per innings, so the pace of play and the result change very quickly. That is why odds in T20 markets shift moment to moment and live betting is most popular.

In ODI each team gets 50 overs, so strategy and mid-match situations matter a great deal. Markets for total runs, partnerships and individual batsman scores are more widely available here.

Test cricket runs over five days — a draw is a valid result. So here you bet on three possibilities: team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. Session-based markets are also available in Test cricket.

BPL

Bangladesh Premier League — the country's biggest T20 franchise tournament. Demand for betting on this league among Bangladeshi fans is the highest of the year.

IPL

Indian Premier League — the world's most popular T20 league. During IPL, z baj offers the widest variety of live markets.

T20 World Cup and International Matches

ICC international tournaments and Bangladesh Tigers home and away series — these are the matches that attract the most betting interest on z baj.

Betting on Football and Other Sports

z baj Football and Sports Betting Markets

Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular on z baj. In football, beyond match winner you can find handicap, both teams to score, and correct score markets. The difference from cricket is that in cricket a result builds over multiple days, while in football everything is decided in 90 minutes.

In football a draw is a normal result — so the 1X2 market (team A wins / draw / team B wins) is the main one. In T20 or ODI cricket draws do not usually occur, which is why the betting structure is different.

Markets are also available for Kabaddi, tennis and badminton, though at the moment cricket and football are by far the most preferred among Bangladeshi users.

Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works

From match winner to top batsman — the key markets at a glance.

Match Winner

Match winning team

Who will win — team A or team B? In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes; in Test there are three. The simplest and most widely used market.

Toss

Who will win the toss

You can place a bet on the toss result before the match starts. With two equal probabilities, odds are generally close to 1.90.

Top Batsman

Who will score the most runs

Whether a specific batsman within a team will score the highest runs — one of the favourite markets among Bangladeshi cricket fans.

Total Runs

Total runs over/under

Will the total runs in the full match or a single innings be above or below a set number? Example: if the total is above 320 it is over, below 320 it is under.

Multi Bet

Combined bet on multiple matches

Combining several bets on one slip multiplies the odds, so the potential return increases significantly. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.

First Wicket

When will the first wicket fall

At how many runs or in which over the first wicket will fall — in this market the very opening moments of the match become important.

Odds in Three Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American

The same price written three ways — the easy way to understand each.

On z baj, odds are usually shown in decimal format, though some markets also use fractional or American format. All three formats express the same information — only the way of writing differs.

Format Team A wins Meaning
Decimal 3.00 Total return including stake is 3 times
Fractional 2/1 ৳2 profit for every ৳1 wagered
American +200 ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet
Example 1 (Team A wins): Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you bet ৳1,000 and win, total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.

The odds for the favourite are usually low — for example decimal 1.25. That means the outcome is considered more certain.

Example 2 (Team B is favourite): Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400. If you bet ৳1,000 and win, total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.

In American format, a minus (−) sign means favourite — betting that amount returns 100 in profit.

Live Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over

Real-time betting while the match is on — the most active feature on z baj.

z baj Live In-Play Cricket Betting Score Update

After a match starts, live betting remains open on z baj. Odds are reset after every wicket, every boundary and at the end of every over. This means — if a team is under pressure at 5 wickets down, the odds against them rise sharply, and a strong partnership brings their odds back down.

In T20, the style of play differs across the powerplay, middle overs and death overs, so live markets take a new shape at each stage. For example, if a team needs 60 runs off the last 5 overs, odds shift dramatically.

In ODI and Test live betting, session or powerplay markets are available where you can bet on how many runs will be scored or how many wickets will fall within a specific period.

Keep in mind: Live betting moves fast — odds can change in seconds. Confirm the odds on screen before placing a bet. Betting is for entertainment — play within a set budget.

Some Practical Tips Useful for Betting

Common habits learned from experienced bettors.

  • Choose markets based on the format: In T20 the toss matters a lot because pitch and conditions have a direct impact. In ODI the mid-innings strategy also plays a role in the result. Decide which format and which market you are betting on before you start.
  • Set your budget in advance: Before each betting session, decide the maximum you are willing to spend. Stop when the budget runs out — that is the core rule of responsible betting.
  • Be careful with multi bets: If three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 ≈ 3.78, so a ৳100 bet could return ৳378 — but if even one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
  • Take your time with live betting: Because odds change fast, placing bets in a rush is not a good idea. Watch how the situation develops, then make your decision.
  • Follow responsible betting: Betting is for entertainment — you should not increase your bets to chase losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and stay within your own limits.
  • Know the rules: To understand the conditions under which a bet may be voided or how bonuses work, read the terms and conditions — it will help you avoid unexpected situations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cricket Betting

The most commonly asked questions about cricket betting.

In T20, the fast-paced 20-over game means odds shift in an instant — the best format for live betting. In ODI, strategy plays a bigger role over 50 overs, so innings-based markets are more varied. In Test cricket, a draw is possible — so you bet on three outcomes. Each format has its own set of markets on z baj.

In a multi bet, several selections are combined on one slip and the odds are multiplied together. Example: if three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 ≈ 3.78, so a ৳100 bet gives a potential return of ৳378 — but every selection must be correct. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.

During a match, every wicket, boundary and over shifts the balance of probabilities. That change is reflected in the odds immediately. In T20, 25+ runs in a single over is possible, so odds can take a big jump in just a few seconds. On z baj, live odds update in real time.

In decimal format, the lower the number the bigger the favourite — for example, 1.25 means the outcome is considered almost certain. In American format, a minus (−) sign means favourite. Example: decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American −400. For an underdog the number is higher — for example, decimal 3.00 = American +200.

Because IPL is the world's biggest T20 league, it offers the highest number and variety of markets — from match winner to over/under, top batsman and live markets. BPL offers all the main markets and is especially popular with Bangladeshi users.
Betting is strictly prohibited for anyone under 21 years of age. Betting is a form of entertainment — please play responsibly.
