Cricket Betting at baji — Place Bets on Top Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. At baji, you can bet on T20, ODI and Test matches across a range of markets including Match Winner, Toss and Top Batsman. Live in-play betting is also available so you can place bets while the game is going on.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Competitions
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the formats first, as the betting style and available markets differ slightly for each.
T20 is the shortest format — each team plays just 20 overs. Results come quickly and the betting is more fast-paced. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL (Indian Premier League) and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most familiar to fans in Bangladesh.
ODI, or One Day International, gives each team 50 overs. Here you can also bet on total runs, partnerships or runs in a specific over.
Test Cricket is the longer five-day format. A draw is possible, so the market includes three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw.
Cricket fans in Bangladesh are most engaged during BPL and ICC tournaments, especially when the Tigers are playing. Those watching matches from Dhaka particularly enjoy the live in-play betting option.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Alongside cricket, baji also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and several other sports. The betting structure for cricket and football is somewhat different.
Football typically has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. But in T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw, so the market has only two outcomes. This difference directly affects the odds in both sports.
Football has specific markets like half-time score, goalscorer or corner count. Cricket has markets like wickets, run rate, powerplay score and maiden overs. So it is important to know the rules of whichever sport you want to bet on.
You can also play casino games at baji — baji Casino has a wide collection ranging from live casino and Baccarat to slots.
Key Differences at a Glance
- T20/ODI — only two outcomes (win/loss)
- Football — three outcomes (win/loss/draw)
- Test — three outcomes, draw is possible
- Live betting is available for every sport
Seven Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Example: if Team A wins, you win; if Team B wins, the bet is lost.
Most CommonToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random — it is a game of chance, not strategy.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. Example: Team A's opener will be the highest run-scorer.
Innings-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number. Example: will total runs in the match be more than 320.
Runs-BasedTop Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. You can choose any bowler — spinner or pacer.
Bowling MarketPowerplay Score
Bet on how many runs will be scored or wickets will fall in the first 6 overs (powerplay).
Live MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine bets on multiple matches at the same time — if all selections are correct, the reward increases. For example: placing bets on three matches at odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). A stake of just ৳100 could return ৳479 — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. You can find the full multi bet rules at baji Bet.
High Risk / High RewardOdds in Three Formats — Explained with Simple Examples
Odds on betting sites appear in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. baji generally uses the decimal format, though other formats may appear in some places.
Bet on Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal odds 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake back); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Team B's winning odds: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. A negative American odds figure shows how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 stake, the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
American minus odds (-400) means you risk ৳400 to win ৳100. So a favourite always has a negative American odds number. The decimal format is the easiest — just multiply the odds figure directly by your stake to get the total return.
Live In-Play — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging — every over, every wicket and every big shot changes the odds.
Say Team A is 60 runs for 3 wickets after 10 overs in a T20 match. At that point, Team A's odds to win will rise considerably because they are in a tough position. But if two sixes are hit in the next over, the odds could come back down.
In-play markets move quickly, so it is important to read the flow of the match before deciding. After each wicket falls, specific markets such as "next wicket" or "runs in the next over" become available.
Live betting at baji is also available on the mobile app. The app is available on both Android and iOS and can be downloaded through official channels. Visit the baji App page for more details.

Understand the market before you bet
Each market has its own rules. Find out in advance what happens in the Match Winner market in the case of a tie or Super Over.
-
Keep to a budget
Only bet what you can afford to lose. Betting is a form of entertainment — it should not be treated as a source of income.
-
Choose markets that suit the format
In T20, powerplay and death over markets are more fast-moving. In Test cricket, there are end-of-day score or session-based markets.
-
Play responsibly
Betting is for ages 21 and above. Know your limits and read the responsible gaming guidelines.
-
Be careful with multi bets
Higher combined odds mean higher risk. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. It is better for beginners to start with one or two selections.
