Cricket formats and favourite tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh follow and bet on three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, which is why the betting markets differ as well.
T20
The fastest format. BPL, IPL, and T20 World Cup are the most popular in Bangladesh. The situation changes with every over, so live betting is especially active here.
ODI
The fifty-over format. ODI matches are played in major bilateral series including the ICC Cricket World Cup. Innings averages, partnerships, and total run markets are popular here.
Test
The longer five-day format. You can bet on match winner, series result, and session-based markets. Patience and a deeper knowledge of the game set Test betting apart.
Bangladesh's most talked-about cricket tournament is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), where local and international players compete together. IPL is also very popular among Bangladeshi fans, and Bangladesh Tigers' participation in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments adds an extra dimension to betting. Markets for all these tournaments are open at bd89.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, bd89 also offers betting on football, kabaddi, and several other sports. There are some key differences between cricket and football betting.
Football has three possible outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. This is known as the "1X2" market. A limited-overs cricket match generally has no draw, so only two outcomes are available. Test cricket can end in a draw, so those markets work differently.
Just as handicap and goal line markets work in football, run line and wicket markets work in a similar way in cricket. Each sport has its own statistics and pace, so it is worth understanding the rules of a sport before you start betting on it.

Popular betting markets — 7 important options
A wide range of cricket betting markets is available at bd89. Below are seven popular markets with simple explanations.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — that is the match winner market. You can bet on either team A or team B. In T20 and ODI, this is the simplest market and ideal if you are betting for the first time.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match — the outcome is completely independent of the match result, so the odds are usually close to even. A good option if you want to start with a small bet.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for a specific team — that is this market. Betting on a team's in-form batter can offer good odds.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in an innings or the full match be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number — that is what you bet on in this market. It can shift depending on wicket conditions and the pitch.
Multi Bet
Multiple match outcomes are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return multiplies significantly — but if even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost. A small stake can bring a much larger potential return.
First Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings, or whether a wicket will fall — these kinds of markets are especially popular in T20. The contest between batter and bowler during the powerplay is central here.
Innings Run Line
Will a team's total runs be above or below a set number — this market is available in more detail for ODI and Test matches. Pitch, weather, and the depth of a team's batting lineup all play a role here.
How to read and understand odds
In betting, odds show the potential return on a wager. Odds are written in three common formats — decimal, fractional, and American. bd89 generally uses the decimal format, which is the most straightforward.
| Format | Example: team A wins | Return on a ৳200 bet | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳450 (profit ৳250 + stake ৳200) | Shows the total return figure directly |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳450 (same calculation) | Written in the British style; ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳450 (same calculation) | Plus (+) means profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — betting on team A to win (not the favourite)
Say team A's odds are: decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125. You place a ৳200 bet. If team A wins, you receive ৳450 — which includes ৳250 profit and your original ৳200 stake back. If team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — betting on team B to win (the favourite)
Team B is considered the favourite. Odds: decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here, a ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if team B wins — ৳160 profit plus your ৳200 stake back.
The figures above are for explanation only. In real matches, odds will differ and there is no guarantee of winning. Betting is for entertainment — outcomes are always uncertain.
Live in-play betting — odds shift during the match
Live in-play betting is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket betting. You can place bets on various markets even after the match has started, and the odds update with every event in the game.
For example, imagine three quick wickets fall for one team midway through a match. That team's odds of winning will lengthen (meaning they are in a weaker position), while the opposition's odds will shorten. If a team posts a strong score at the end of the powerplay, the odds can swing back the other way.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly — so keep in mind that every bet is for your own entertainment and there is always a risk of losing. Live scores and odds can be viewed directly on the bd89 mobile app, making in-play betting more convenient.
- Each wicket that falls shortens the bowling team's odds
- When more runs are needed in the final overs, the batting team's odds lengthen
- The live over/under market shifts with the rhythm of the match
- Read the match situation and enjoy live betting with small stakes
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind makes the experience better.
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend in each session. Staying within that limit is smart betting.
Choose markets based on the format
Multi bets or over/under markets suit T20 well. For Test matches, series winner or match draw markets are more relevant.
Know your odds format
Decimal, fractional, and American all give the same information — just written differently. Starting with decimal is the easiest.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in in-play betting. Take your time to read the situation rather than placing a large bet in a hurry.
Accept losses
Losing is a normal part of betting. Avoid placing larger bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
Know the terms
Before you start betting, read bd89's terms and conditions so that the bonus and betting requirements are clear to you.
