Cricket Betting at planbet — BPL to International T20
planbet offers betting markets across all cricket formats for fans in Bangladesh — from match winner to top batsman. Odds update every over, giving you the chance to put your analysis to use.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The variety cricket offers is what makes betting on it interesting. T20, ODI and Test each move at a different pace with a different strategy, so each format calls for a different approach to betting.
T20 is the fastest format — finished in 20 overs with quick results. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are two of the biggest T20 competitions. The T20 World Cup is the most prominent tournament in the international calendar, with Bangladesh Tigers matches drawing particular attention.
ODI is a 50-over game — this mid-paced format rewards both strategy and fitness. The ICC ODI World Cup is the biggest event in this format.
Test is the longest format at five days — a draw is possible, and odds are set across three outcomes (win, loss, draw). There is the most opportunity to watch the game over innings by innings and bet accordingly.
T20 — Fast-Paced Betting
BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup — many markets open in a short space of time.

Popular Betting Markets — a simple guide to each bet
Multiple markets are open for every cricket match. Below is a brief introduction to the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Two outcomes in T20 and ODI (win/loss), three in Test (win/loss/draw). Example: if you think Team A is more likely to win, bet on them — if Team A wins you get your return, if they don't you lose the bet.
SimplestToss Winner
Which team will win the toss — the result is decided before the match starts. It is a completely separate market with no relation to on-field performance. Example: if you pick Team B in the toss winner market, the rest of the match has no effect on this bet.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team — individual performance analysis is useful in this market. Example: you can bet by picking the player you think will score the most runs for Team A.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set number — this market takes pitch conditions and weather into account. Example: Over/Under 160 runs for Team A's innings — if they score more than 160 the Over wins, if less the Under wins.
Statistics-BasedMulti Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet — if all selections are correct the return multiplies. Example: if you place a multi bet picking winners in three separate matches and all three are correct you receive a combined return; one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
Higher Return Higher RiskHandicap Betting
An artificial run advantage or disadvantage is given to one team to reduce the gap between the two sides. If the weaker team is given a handicap advantage, they do not have to win outright for the bet to win.
Balanced CompetitionSeries Winner
Betting on which team will win a series before it begins. Losing one match does not immediately end a series bet — there is more opportunity for long-term analysis.
Long-TermHow to Read Odds — Three Methods
Odds in betting are written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. planbet generally uses the decimal format, but understanding the difference between all three lets you follow any betting market comfortably.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (bet on Team A to win, stake ৳200):
- Decimal: 2.25
- Fractional: 5/4
- American: +125
If Team A wins, return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake back). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (bet on Team B to win, stake ৳200):
- Decimal: 1.25
- Fractional: 1/4
- American: -400
If Team B wins, return is ৳250 (৳50 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. Decimal is the most straightforward because multiplying the stake directly by the odds gives the total return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Every Over
In-play betting is the ability to place bets while a match is in progress — it works particularly well in cricket because every delivery can change the situation on the field.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately (their chances of winning have decreased) and the bowling team's odds shorten. A big six produces the opposite. These changes can be seen in real time in the live markets on planbet.
Odds move quickly during powerplay overs — markets are especially active at this time. Before the death overs (overs 16–20) begin, a clearer expectation forms in the total runs market, which many experienced bettors use.
Live betting in Test matches is more complex — pitch wear, changing light or rain can shift odds dramatically. Session betting (a separate bet on each session) is a market specific to Test cricket.
Keep in mind — the speed at which odds change in live betting can create pressure. Always treat betting as part of your entertainment. Read our responsible gaming guidelines.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Football betting is also available at planbet alongside cricket. Football matches end in 90 minutes and a draw is a common result — so the 1X2 market (Team A win, draw, Team B win) is the most widely used. Just as in cricket, goal over/under, handicap and multi bet markets are available.
However, the betting approach for cricket and football is different. Cricket has separate markets for each phase of an innings (powerplay, middle overs, death overs); football does not have that kind of breakdown. Test cricket runs bets over five days; football wraps up in a single day. Cards, corners and goalscorer markets exist in football but not in cricket.
Beyond cricket and football, betting markets are also available on kabaddi, tennis and badminton — though cricket and football remain the most popular among viewers in Bangladesh.
For those who want to enjoy casino games alongside sports betting, planbet Casino offers live baccarat, roulette and slots all in one place.
Cricket vs Football Betting
- Duration: Cricket ranges from 3 hours to 5 days; football is 90 minutes plus extra time.
- Draw outcome: No draw in T20 or ODI; a draw is possible in Test and football.
- In-play pace: In cricket odds change every ball; in football big changes happen at the time of a goal.
- Specialist markets: Cricket has session bets and over-by-over markets; football has corners and cards.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Keeping in mind that betting is a form of entertainment makes decisions easier. The tips below are useful for both new and regular bettors.
- Choose markets that suit the format. Quick-result markets in T20 (match winner, toss) are straightforward; session betting in Test requires more in-depth analysis.
- Check pitch and weather. On a spin-friendly pitch, total runs tend toward the under; on a green pitch, seam bowlers have the advantage.
- Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet. A multi bet with two or three selections is reasonable; adding more selections means one wrong pick ends the whole bet.
- Set your budget in advance. Deciding how much you will stake on each match beforehand helps you avoid overspending.
- Don't rush in live betting. Odds change fast in-play, but make your decision based on the situation rather than betting on impulse.
- Know the rules. Reading the terms and conditions gives you a clear understanding of bonuses, void bet policy and payments.
