e2bet Cricket Betting — Best Odds from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's favourite sport. At e2bet you can bet on BPL, IPL, international T20 and ODI matches across a range of markets — from match winner to live in-play — all in one place.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Competitions
Cricket has three main formats — Test, ODI and T20. Each format has a different style of play, strategy and betting markets. T20 is the most popular among Bangladesh fans because it is the fastest format and a single over can change the result of a match.
T20
Each team plays only 20 overs. A match is over within a few hours. BPL, IPL and ICC T20 World Cup are played in this format. A quick wicket or a big six can shift the odds at any moment.
ODI
This 50-over format allows teams to change strategy mid-game. International series and the World Cup are mainly played in this format. Markets shift considerably between the powerplay and the middle overs.
Test
This five-day format is a game of patience and strategy. A draw is possible, so betting markets are different — odds are built around three outcomes (team A win, team B win, draw). A draw is generally not possible in T20 or ODI.
Tournaments popular with Bangladesh fans
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is held in Dhaka every year and is the country's biggest cricket event. The IPL is an Indian league but is equally popular among cricket fans in Bangladesh. Beyond these, e2bet also offers various markets for Bangladesh Tigers international series, ICC T20 World Cup and Asia Cup.
Cricket vs Football — Differences in Betting
e2bet offers betting not just on cricket but also on football and other sports. However, the style of betting differs for each sport.
Cricket
Runs per over, wicket fall and partnership markets make cricket unique. Every ball is a new betting opportunity. In T20, the situation can change in an instant.
Football
Match winner, goalscorer and corner count are popular football markets. In a 90-minute game, even a single goal can change the result, so live odds shift quickly.
Cricket has special markets such as "six in the next over" or "top batsman" that are not available in football. On the other hand, handicap betting is more common in football. For a deeper analysis, you can read our betting tips guide.
6 Popular Bets in Cricket
A number of markets are available for cricket matches at e2bet. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used bets.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. You can bet on team A or team B — two options (a draw is generally not available in T20 or ODI). The simplest and most popular market.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. It does not depend on the match result — only the toss outcome counts.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs. Separate odds are available for the top batsman of each team. All names from openers to middle order are listed in the innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match will be above or below a set number — two options. For example, a bet on whether team A will score more or less than 180 runs.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
A single bet combining the outcomes of multiple matches at once. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied and the return increases. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
Man of the Match
A bet on who will be named the best player of the match. The award is usually based on the highest runs scored or wickets taken. One of the more enjoyable markets in cricket.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Three types of odds are shown on betting sites. All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. The two examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — How much do you get if team A wins?
Betting on team A to win, stake of ৳200:
If you lose: ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on the favourite
Team B is the favourite, ৳200 stake:
American minus odds: This shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit — here a ৳200 stake returns ৳100 profit.
e2bet generally displays decimal odds, which are easy to understand: total return = stake amount × odds.
How Live Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds are recalculated after every ball, every wicket and every over. This makes cricket betting the most dynamic.
Wicket fall: When a big wicket goes down, the batting team's odds rise immediately — meaning they are seen as less likely to win. Placing a bet at that moment can give a higher return.
Big over: If the batting team scores heavily in the powerplay, their odds to win shorten (meaning the bookmaker now considers them more likely to win).
Final overs: If a team chasing needs a lot of runs in the last 5 overs, the defending team's odds drop quickly. Live markets are most active at the turning points of a match.
Quick decisions: Because odds change fast in live betting, decisions need to be made quickly. It is a good idea to set your budget in advance.
Keep in mind: Live betting lets you place bets while watching the match, but it is better not to rush your bets when odds are moving fast. Play responsibly — read our responsible gaming page to learn more.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is one form of entertainment — there is no formula that guarantees profit. However, a few general habits can keep your experience more enjoyable.
Stick to your budget: Decide how much you will bet before each session. Do not go beyond that limit — whether you win or lose.
Focus on one market: For beginners, starting with the match winner market is straightforward. Betting on too many markets at once makes things complicated.
Check the pitch and conditions: In cricket, the pitch type and weather can affect the result. A spin-friendly pitch gives an advantage to the spin bowling side.
Be careful with multi bets: One loss in a multi bet means the whole bet is gone. It is better not to add too many selections at once just because the potential return looks large.
Take a break after losses: After losing a few bets, placing even more bets immediately to recover losses is not a good idea. Take a short break.
