Cricket Betting at 995bet — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From T20 to Test — find markets across all formats. With match winner, toss, live betting and many more options, 995bet lets you enjoy each match in its own way.
Three Cricket Formats and the Major Tournaments
From T20 to five-day Test — each format has its own character, and 995bet offers markets across all three.
T20
The most popular format. Results come quickly in 20 overs, so live betting odds shift from moment to moment. BPL and IPL are the biggest competitions in this format.
ODI
This 50-over format blends strategy and endurance. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. It also offers a wider range of markets.
Test
This five-day format includes a draw market alongside the match winner. There is more opportunity to analyse pitch conditions, weather and team strength before deciding.
Major Tournaments
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the country's own T20 franchise tournament. The mix of local and overseas players gives each match its own appeal.
IPL
India's Indian Premier League is the most valuable T20 league in the world. It is very popular among Bangladeshi fans, and each match comes with a wide range of betting options.
T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup features the Bangladesh Tigers along with all top nations. Every moment on the big stage carries extra weight.
International Series
Bilateral series run throughout the year. T20, ODI and Test series provide a steady stream of markets, which suits regular bettors.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also very active at 995bet. Football markets include match winner, goalscorer, half-time result and corner count — rather than over-by-over analysis like cricket, here the 90-minute rhythm is what matters.
Cricket markets are more detailed — a single T20 match can offer everything from match winner to runs in a specific over, number of wickets, or even a six off the last ball. Football has fewer markets by comparison, but there are more matches each week, so the total number of options evens out.
For those just starting out with betting, the sports section at 995bet Bet provides a convenient experience for placing bets across different sports.
The 7 Markets Bet on Most in Cricket
Each market has its own character — some are straightforward, others require detailed analysis. The most familiar markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Which team wins — Team A or Team B? The simplest market. There is no draw in T20, so you just pick one of two options.
T20 ODI TestToss Winner
A bet on the outcome of the toss before the match. It has no connection to how the match is played — it is a completely independent event.
T20 ODITop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs? This is an analysis-based market — the batsman's form and pitch conditions are important factors.
Top ScorerTotal Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in a match or innings be above or below a set number — you bet on one of the two. Pitch and weather conditions play a big role here.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
Markets from multiple matches or events are combined into one bet. All selections must be correct to win — if one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MatchesTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? This is also analysis-based — the type of pitch and the opposing team's batting lineup are key considerations.
BowlingFirst Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings? Results come quickly, making this a popular short market before live betting begins.
T20 ODIHow to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds are written in three familiar formats — decimal, fractional and American. They all convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Total return if won |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳450 (profit ৳250 + stake ৳200) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳450 |
| American | +125 | ৳450 |
All three formats show the same result. If Team A wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳450 in total (including ৳250 profit); if they lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Total return if won |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳360 (profit ৳160) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳360 |
| American | -125 | ৳360 |
American minus odds (-125) means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100. Team B is the favourite so the odds are lower, but they are considered more likely to win.
The higher the odds number, the less likely the bookmaker considers that outcome to be — and the higher the return if it wins. Lower odds mean the outcome is considered more certain.
Live Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
Markets stay open even after the match has started — this is live or in-play betting. Here, odds are reset after every ball, wicket or boundary.
Say Team A is batting in a T20 match. After 10 overs they have 80 runs with 2 wickets down. If Team A looks likely to win, their odds will shorten — because everyone wants to bet on them. But if two wickets suddenly fall, Team B's odds can drop sharply within a single ball.
You need to watch the match closely when doing live betting. Markets change fast, so decisions need to be made quickly too. That said, it is worth avoiding the temptation to bet more in the heat of the moment — betting should always come from a place of entertainment. Our responsible gaming guide has more details.
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen — the bowling team's odds shorten.
- If runs come quickly in the powerplay, the batting team's chances of winning increase.
- Rain or fading light can disrupt the match — that also affects live odds.
- For live betting on mobile, using the 995bet App lets you see odds updates faster.
Think Before You Bet In-Play
- Set a budget before you start.
- Focus on one market at a time, not several at once.
- Make decisions based on how the match is going, not emotion.
- Avoid placing large bets to recover losses.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is mainly for entertainment — but keeping a few basics in mind makes the experience better.
- Understand the format: T20 and Test markets are not the same — keep each format's distinct character in mind.
- Set a budget limit: Decide before each session how much you are willing to spend. It is best not to go beyond that.
- Start with one market: Match winner is straightforward for beginners. Learn other markets gradually.
- Pitch and weather: The type of pitch and weather conditions can favour batting or bowling — worth checking before placing a bet.
- Team strength: If a key player is missing, it can make a significant difference to a team's performance.
- Take breaks: Stepping away between bets keeps your mind clear. Betting should be enjoyable, not stressful.
