Bet on cricket at ppp — the best markets and odds on BPL, IPL and international matches
Place bets on every format from T20 to Test. Live in-play betting, multiple markets and easy payments — all on one platform.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
T20 — Fast-Paced Contest
In a 20-over match runs come quickly and wickets fall suddenly. Odds shift fast in this format, so the situation takes a new shape after every ball. BPL and IPL are both played in this format.
ODI — Fifty-Over Strategy
In a 50-over one-day match, from building an innings to a late charge, there are far more betting opportunities throughout the game. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are the main stages for this format.
Test — Five-Day Challenge
In a five-day Test match a draw is a valid result, so there are three markets — home win, away win and draw. Pitch conditions and weather can change the course of the entire match.
BPL, IPL and Bangladesh Tigers International Matches
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is a major event every winter. The high scores and surprise results keep betting markets busy throughout the league. IPL is an Indian league but is equally popular among Bangladeshi viewers. And Bangladesh Tigers international matches — at the T20 World Cup or in ICC tournaments — always bring their own level of excitement.
One key difference between cricket and football betting is that cricket offers the chance to bet on many small events within a match (each over, partnership, session), whereas football is more limited in that regard. In football, goals and yellow card markets are the main ones; in cricket the variety of markets is far greater.

How popular markets work at ppp
In a cricket match there are many types of markets beyond just win or lose. Seven popular markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 and ODI there are two possible outcomes; in Tests there are three (Team A, Team B or Draw). Example: if Team A wins, the amount staked on that market is returned according to the odds.
Toss Winner
A market on who will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random — it has no connection to the pitch or a team's form. Example: if Team B wins the toss that bet wins; otherwise the stake is lost.
Top Batsman
A market on who will score the most runs within a specific team. If the selected batsman scores the highest in their team, the bet wins. The team's batting order and form are important considerations here.
Total Runs Over/Under
A market on whether the total runs scored in the full match or a single innings will be above or below a given number. Example: will the combined runs of both innings go over or under 300 — the nature of the pitch plays a big role here.
First Over Runs
How many total runs will be scored in the first over — usually a line is set and you bet on whether it will be exceeded. This market tends to be quite active when there is aggressive batting in the powerplay overs.
Multi Bet (Multiple Markets)
Multiple matches or markets are combined on the same slip. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 give a combined odds of 4.79 — a ৳100 stake returns ৳479 if all come in, but if any one loses the entire bet is lost.
A multi bet offers the possibility of a larger return, but the risk increases equally. Betting is for entertainment — never treat it as a source of income. To learn about responsible betting, read the Responsible Gaming page.
How to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Odds are written in three different ways, but they all convey the same information. The table below uses two examples to make the difference clear.
| Situation | Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A wins (underdog) | 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 |
| Team B wins (favourite) | 1.80 | 4/5 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog)
Say Team A's winning odds are 2.50 (decimal) = 3/2 (fractional) = +150 (American). A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,500 if Team A wins — that is ৳1,500 profit plus the original ৳1,000 back. If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite)
Team B's winning odds are 1.80 (decimal) = 4/5 (fractional) = -125 (American). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit).
Things to Remember
- 1 Multiply your stake directly by the decimal odds to get the total return — the simplest method.
- 2 In fractional odds the numerator is the profit and the denominator is the stake — so 3/2 means stake 2, get 3 profit.
- 3 American plus (+) shows the profit on a ৳100 stake; minus (-) shows the stake needed to make ৳100 profit.
- 4 The lower the odds, the bigger the favourite — but favourites do not always win.
How odds change when a wicket falls
Live in-play betting means markets stay open after the match has started and odds change after every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting side's chance of winning drops, so their odds lengthen. Conversely, if two boundaries come in a row during the powerplay, the batting side's run rate improves so much that their odds shorten quickly.
In over-by-over markets you can bet on exactly how many runs will be scored in each over. The difference in run rate between a pace bowler's over and a spinner's over is often notable. Tracking these small changes while betting keeps your focus on the match much sharper, making the experience more enjoyable.
Keep in mind though — in in-play betting decisions have to be made fast. So always decide in advance how much you are comfortable staking. Enjoy betting purely as entertainment. Read the Terms and Conditions to understand the detailed rules.
Some useful tips for beginners
-
01
Understand the format before choosing a market
Total runs markets are more active in T20; innings-based or session markets are more relevant in Tests. If you pick a market without understanding the format, it becomes hard to follow the flow of the match.
-
02
Set your budget first
Decide in advance how much you will stake on a match. Chasing losses by increasing your bets is not a good idea — betting is for entertainment, not a financial plan.
-
03
Do not spread across too many markets at once
Start by focusing on one or two markets. A multi bet may seem to offer a bigger return, but if one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
-
04
Factor in pitch and weather conditions
Runs are harder to come by on a slow pitch and spinners tend to dominate. If rain is likely, the match may be shortened — this has a direct impact on over/under markets.
-
05
Be patient in live betting
Odds move the most right after a wicket falls. Rather than rushing into a decision, it is better to wait a moment and assess the situation.
-
06
Enjoy it as entertainment
Cricket betting adds to the enjoyment of the match; it is not a guaranteed way to earn money. Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose.
How different is betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at ppp. A football match is done within 90 minutes and the markets are comparatively straightforward — Match Winner, total goals Over/Under, Both Teams to Score (BTTS). In cricket you range from a five-day Test to a T20 lasting just a few hours — the time span and the number of in-match events are far greater.
Half-time/full-time combos and handicap markets are more familiar in football. Cricket does not have a direct equivalent of a handicap, but innings run lines and over markets serve a similar purpose. The markets and rhythm of the two sports are different, so focusing on the one you understand better makes for a more comfortable experience.
