22bd Cricket Betting — choose your markets for BPL, IPL and international matches
T20, ODI or Test — each format has its own markets and its own feel. At 22bd you can bet on cricket as well as football and other sports. From live in-play to Match Winner — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the difference between formats, because each one has a different style of play and a different number of markets.
T20 — Fast and Exciting
Just 20 overs, so every ball counts. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup also falls in this category. The shorter format means more markets packed into less time.
ODI — The 50-Over Contest
In One Day Internationals, both sides bat for 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format. Total Runs and Wickets markets are especially popular in ODIs. The Bangladesh Tigers' performances are most closely followed here.
Test — A Five-Day Test of Patience
In Test cricket a match can end in a tie or a draw, so betting markets carry three possible outcomes — Team A win, Team B win, and Draw. Over a long match, pitch conditions and weather can significantly affect the markets.

Tournaments Popular with Bangladeshi Fans
The atmosphere BPL creates in the country each year makes cricket betting all the more appealing. IPL attracts some of the best players in the world and is regarded as an international-level competition. 22bd tends to offer the highest number of markets for Bangladesh matches at the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy.
Beyond international matches, you can also bet on domestic league games. Because markets differ across formats, each match brings a fresh set of decisions. It is worth reading the Terms and Conditions for a full understanding of the sports betting rules.
Football and Other Sports Betting — How It Differs from Cricket
Alongside cricket, 22bd also offers football betting. Because a football match can end in a draw, markets are typically built around three outcomes — Home win, Away win, or Draw. In T20 cricket there is no draw, so markets are limited to two outcomes.
In football you can bet on the number of goals in the first half or the full match. The equivalent in cricket is the Total Runs over/under market. In-play betting also works differently — in cricket odds shift after each over, while in football they shift after goals.
22bd also offers betting on tennis, badminton and esports. Cricket markets are considerably deeper and more varied than other sports, particularly during BPL and IPL seasons.
- T20 cricket has no draw; in football a draw is a possible outcome.
- Cricket has Top Batsman, Top Bowler and Partnership Runs markets — none of these exist in football.
- Football's handicap betting appears in cricket as the run-line market.
- Multi bets combining several matches are available in both sports.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
22bd's cricket betting offers a range of markets to choose from. Each has its own characteristics.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20, three in Test. Example: Team A vs Team B — you back Team A, and if Team A wins you receive your return.
Toss Winner
A bet on the result of the toss before the match starts. It is a perfectly even 50-50 market and is popular with those who want a quick result.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for a given team? Odds tend to be higher here because there are multiple candidates. It suits those who follow a team's batting order closely.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings be above or below a set number? Pitch conditions and each team's batting strength are key factors to consider.
Multi Bet
Combine the results of several matches into a single bet. If every selection is correct, the combined odds deliver a much higher return — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost. See the example below.
First Wicket Partnership
How many runs will the two opening batters put on together — over or under a set figure? This market is decided by the form of the team's opening partnership.
Three separate matches, with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively. Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳336 if all three are correct. If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer higher returns but carry higher risk — betting is for entertainment, not as a profit strategy.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
22bd displays odds in decimal format by default, but fractional and American formats are also available. All three express the same value — only the way they are written differs.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American odds figure means that amount must be staked to return ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 stake the total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the stake by the odds to get the full return. Fractional and American formats are more common on British and American platforms.

Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change During the Match
22bd live odds update as each wicket falls
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every over and every wicket can shift the course of the game.
- If a lot of runs come in the powerplay, the batting team's odds shorten.
- Three quick wickets will cause the bowling side's win odds to rise sharply.
- In the death overs, markets update every over in line with the required run rate.
- In-play bets need to be placed quickly as odds change frequently.
- In Test cricket, pitch conditions at the end of each day influence the next day's markets.
22bd's in-play betting interface works smoothly on mobile too. Many users prefer the 22bd App for live markets as updates come through faster there.
Practical Advice on Betting — Keep It for Entertainment
Bet within a set budget — 22bd has responsible gaming tools available
Cricket betting is primarily a form of entertainment. Winning and losing are both part of it, so it is best not to bet beyond your budget.
- Set your budget first: Keep a separate budget for each season and do not bet beyond it.
- Start with simple markets: Beginners who start with Match Winner or Toss will get a clearer feel for how things work.
- Learn to read odds: Lower odds mean a higher probability; higher odds mean higher risk.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining many matches correctly is difficult — keep multi bets small.
- Do not bet on emotion after a loss: Placing large bets to recover losses is not a wise approach.
