Cricket Betting at daraz — bet on BPL, IPL and international matches
daraz has you covered for betting across every cricket format — from T20 to Test — with a wide range of markets. Live odds, easy payments and support in Bengali — all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a game — it is a passion. Excitement reaches its peak especially during the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) season or when the Tigers are playing in a major tournament.
You can bet on three main formats at daraz:
| Format | Features | Popular Tournaments |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs per side, quick results, high run rate | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup |
| ODI | 50 overs per side, greater emphasis on strategy | ICC World Cup, bilateral series |
| Test | Five-day match, a test of patience and consistency | ICC World Test Championship, series |
Odds change quickly in T20 matches because every over can have a major impact on the outcome. In ODIs, there is more opportunity to analyse the situation mid-innings. In Test cricket, pitch behaviour and weather make betting more complex.
In tournaments like IPL or BPL, the range of betting markets is much wider — not just match winner, but also toss, runs in a specific over, and many other markets.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football and other sports at daraz. However, there are some fundamental differences between the betting structures of cricket and football.
A draw is a common result in football, so there are typically three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In T20 or ODI cricket (limited-overs formats) there is no draw, so markets are limited to two outcomes. A draw is possible in Test matches, which adds a different dimension to how odds are calculated.
Goal line, handicap and corner markets are popular in football. Top batsman, number of wickets and runs in a specific over are markets unique to cricket. This variety is what makes the betting experience different for each sport.
For those interested in placing bets on multiple matches at once, full rules and strategy for combined bets are available on the daraz multi-bet page.
Cricket vs football — key differences
- A draw is possible in football, not in T20/ODI
- Cricket has far more in-match markets
- Football has a fixed duration; cricket is over-based
- A draw is possible in Test — odds structure is different
7 popular markets with simple examples
Cricket betting is not limited to just picking the match winner. Each market has its own appeal and lets you think about a different aspect of the match.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team A will win, so you bet on Team A.
SimplestToss Winner
Predict which team will win the toss before the match starts. Example: if the odds on Team B winning the toss are higher, you bet on them.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a particular team — understanding the team's batting order is important for this market.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the total runs scored in the match will be over or under a set number. Example: you bet on over 320 total runs.
Numbers-basedMulti Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into one combined bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
High return potentialFirst Over Runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of the match. You can enter this market once you have a read on how the powerplay is starting.
Popular in-playHandicap Betting
To even out the difference in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a run advantage. The handicap is set before the match; win/loss is assessed on a numerical basis, without a monetary example.
Strategic marketHow to read odds — three formats
Understanding odds is the most important part of cricket betting. The odds for the same market can be written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Say you want to place ৳200 on Team A winning:
If the bet wins, your total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + your ৳200 back). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
The odds on Team B winning are lower because they are the stronger side:
American minus odds mean a ৳400 stake returns ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 bet, total return is ৳250 (৳50 profit + ৳200 back).
In decimal format, simply multiply your stake directly by the odds to get the total return.
Live in-play — odds shift with every wicket and over
One of the biggest draws of cricket is live betting. While the match is in progress, every wicket, every big shot or dot ball instantly changes the odds.
Example: if Team A are 90 runs for 1 wicket after the first 10 overs, their odds of winning will naturally shorten (meaning they become the favourite). But if two wickets fall in quick succession, the odds can flip again.
There is less time to decide in live betting, so it is important to understand the markets well. The run rate at the end of the powerplay, wicket pressure in the middle overs, and the batting form in the death overs are the three factors that influence live odds the most.
In in-play betting odds refresh after every ball, so those watching the match closely can analyse the situation and bet with more awareness. Remember, betting is always for entertainment — there is no guarantee of any particular outcome.

Why live odds change
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning lengthen (they become less favoured)
- When a lot of runs are scored in a big over, the batting team's odds shorten
- When the required run rate rises, the pressure on the batting team increases
- When the best batsman is dismissed, there is a significant shift in odds
- A change in weather or rain can temporarily suspend markets
Some tips for staying aware when betting on cricket
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed way to make money. daraz always encourages responsible betting.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will spend on bets each week or month, set a limit, and stick to it.
- Understand the market: Before betting on a new market, make sure you understand how it works.
- Think by format: The odds structure for T20 and Test are different — the same approach does not apply to every format.
- Don't bet on emotion: After your favourite team loses, avoid placing larger bets out of anger or frustration — make decisions with a clear head.
- Follow responsible gaming practices: If you feel betting is getting out of control, follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
For ages 21+. Betting is for entertainment — not a solution to financial problems.
