Cricket Betting at 11bet — place bets on BPL, IPL and international matches at the best odds
From T20 to Test cricket — 11bet offers a range of markets across all formats, including Match Winner, Toss, and Top Batsman. Live in-play betting, fast payments and support in Bengali — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a matter of passion. At 11bet you can bet across all three formats, each with its own pace and strategy.
T20 Cricket
The fastest format — in a 20-over match, every ball counts. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular tournaments in this format. Odds shift quickly, making it ideal for live betting.
ODI Cricket
A 50-over match requires both strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup, Asia Cup and bilateral series are played in this format. Many of Bangladesh Tigers' biggest wins have come in ODIs.
Test Cricket
This five-day format is considered the true test of cricket. With the possibility of a draw, you can bet on three outcomes. The course of a match changes slowly, giving more time for analysis.
BPL and IPL — Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) draws huge excitement among cricket fans in the country every year. At the same time, the IPL features the world's best cricketers going head to head. At 11bet, a range of markets are active for both tournaments — from Match Winner to player performance.
Interest in Bangladesh Tigers' performance in international matches runs highest of all. In ICC tournaments, odds on Bangladesh matches start moving as soon as markets open. Understanding the right market at the right time and having a format-appropriate approach is what matters most.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular at 11bet. Football has three possible match outcomes — home win, away win or draw — so the range of markets is different. Just as cricket has markets based on toss, wickets and runs, football offers variety through goal scorer and corner-based markets.
To learn about markets and how to place bets across different sports, read our Sports Betting Guide — it covers all sports markets in detail.
Cricket vs Football Betting — Key Differences
Number of outcomes: T20/ODI have only two outcomes (win/loss); Test has three (win/loss/draw); football always has three.
Match length: T20 lasts a few hours; Test lasts five days — longer matches offer more live betting opportunities.
Specialist markets: Cricket has wicket, run and over-based markets; football has corner, card and goal-related markets.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting offers a wide variety of markets. From simpler markets for beginners to more complex ones for experienced bettors — all are available at 11bet.
Picking the winning team is the simplest market, but betting on Top Batsman or total runs requires much more specific analysis. Below are seven popular markets in brief.
Remember — betting is for entertainment. Understand how each market works before making a decision.
Match Winner
Choose which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — you pick Team B; if Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
Settled before the match begins — which team will win the toss. This is a separate market independent of the match; the outcome is entirely random.
Top Batsman
Choose which batsman will score the most runs. It is better to understand how the innings is progressing before deciding.
Top Wicket Taker
Predict which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and the team's bowling lineup play a role here.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. Example: if you pick Over 300 total runs, your bet wins if more than 300 runs are scored.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win; if even one is wrong the entire bet loses — but if it wins, the return is much higher.
Innings Runs
Bet on how many runs a team will score in a specific innings — either Over/Under or within an exact range. Pitch reports and weather can affect this market.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Odds can be displayed in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win (example) | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 in total (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone. |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Same match — written as a fraction. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,000 profit, total return ৳3,000. |
| American | +200 | Same match in American format. '+' means underdog — a ৳100 bet returns ৳200 profit. |
Favourite example (Team B): Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how strong the favourite is — you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit).

Live In-Play Betting — place bets while the match is on LIVE
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. In cricket, odds shift with every wicket or big over — live betting works by taking advantage of these moments.
Example: Team A is batting, 160 runs for 4 wickets after 20 overs — at this point, the Over odds in the total runs market will shorten because the chance of a big score is rising. The Match Winner odds for Team B will increase because their path to victory has become harder.
How odds change: When a wicket falls, odds against the batting team shorten; a big powerplay score increases the chance of the total going Over. In Test matches, odds are adjusted at the end of each session based on pitch conditions.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Choose markets based on the format
In T20, Match Winner and Total Runs are the most straightforward markets. In Test cricket, innings markets and session-based markets can offer more information.
Set a budget
Before each bet, decide how much you are willing to stake. Betting is a form of entertainment — never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Read our Responsible Gaming Guide to learn more about playing responsibly.
Keep track of pitch and weather news
Whether the pitch favours batting or bowling, and whether rain is forecast — these are useful for understanding markets.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk — if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Until you have more experience, keep the number of selections in a multi bet low.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in in-play betting, but making quick decisions is not advisable. Watch how the match develops and decide carefully.
Multi bet example: three selections with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 — combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all three are correct; if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
