Cricket Betting at 222bet — A Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test Formats
Make every match of Bangladesh's most popular sport more interesting. From BPL to the ICC T20 World Cup — bet on every format with the right information.
The Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three international formats — T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test — each have a different pace, strategy and style of betting. T20 is the most popular in Bangladesh because matches end quickly and any over can bring a dramatic turn.
T20: The shortest format — results decided within 20 overs. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the biggest stages for this format. Odds shift quickly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit, making live betting especially engaging here.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, odds move through the early innings, the middle overs and the death overs. Understanding how many runs are needed at the midpoint of an innings helps with reading over/under markets.
Test: In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather and the batting lineup all influence betting decisions. Because a draw is a possible result, three-way odds are available.
Alongside Bangladesh Tigers matches, the participation of local teams in BPL and IPL adds extra interest to betting. For detailed information on sports betting at 222bet during major international tournament seasons, visit the sports events page.
T20 Format
The fastest cricket — match over in 20 overs. On the BPL and IPL stage, the situation can change with every delivery.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI Format
Fifty overs of strategy and power — betting markets shift at every stage of the innings.
One-Day Series ICC ODI WCTest Format
In the longest format played over five days, pitch conditions, weather and the batting and bowling strength of both sides influence the odds.
Test Series Draw PossibleBetting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 222bet. But the betting structure of the two sports is quite different. Cricket has a large number of markets based on innings, overs and wickets; football betting is mainly about goals, match results and half-time scores.
In cricket, a draw is a normal result in Test matches — so odds are split three ways. T20 and ODI have no draw, so the markets are simpler. Many football matches also end in draws, so three-way odds are common there too.
Markets for other sports like Kabaddi, volleyball or tennis are generally limited, with mainly a match winner market available. Use 222bet's sports events page to check the schedule for specific events and tournaments — it lists upcoming matches.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Below is a brief overview of seven common markets. Teams A and B are used in each example — these are for illustration only.
| Market | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A, Team B, Draw). | Team A win odds 1.45, Team B win odds 2.75 — place ৳1,000 on Team B and if they win, you get back ৳2,750. |
| Toss Winner | Which team will win the match toss. Both outcomes are equally likely, so odds are usually close. | Odds for Team A and Team B are roughly equal — choose either one. |
| Top Batsman | Which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. The team's batting order is worth keeping in mind. | You can pick any one of four batters from Team A — the odds indicate the relative likelihood of each. |
| Total Runs (Over/Under) | Whether the runs scored in a full innings or a set number of overs will be more (over) or less (under) than a given number. | Whether more than 45 runs will be scored in the first six overs — you can use the run rate in the powerplay to guide your decision. |
| First Wicket to Fall (Run) | Bet on the run score at which the opening wicket will fall. In T20 this becomes clear quickly. | Whether Team A's first wicket will fall before or after 20 runs — odds are available for both options. |
| Top Wicket-Taker | Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Whether the pitch assists spin or pace is relevant here. | Choose who you want to back from Team B's bowling lineup — compare the odds before deciding. |
| Multi Bet (Multiple Selections) | Combining the results of multiple matches into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct. | If three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84; a ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all win — but if any one loses, the whole bet is gone. |
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
The same price is written three different ways on betting sites — decimal, fractional and American. All three mean the same thing; only the notation differs.
Team A to win, stake ৳200. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, you receive ৳600 back (৳400 profit + original ৳200 stake); if you lose, ৳200 is gone.
In decimal format, total return is calculated simply by multiplying stake × odds. In fractional format, the left number is your profit and the right number is your stake. In American format, "+" shows how much profit a ৳100 bet would make.
Team B to win — Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to profit ৳100 — in this case, ৳400. A ৳200 bet returns ৳250 if it wins (৳50 profit).
Low odds like 1.25 mean that outcome is considered more likely — so the profit is smaller. Higher odds like 3.00 mean the outcome is less likely, so the profit is larger. Bet for enjoyment, not as a source of income.
Odds are estimates set by the betting company. They are not a guarantee of future results — there is a risk of losing money on every bet.
LIVE Live In-Play Betting — Odds That Change During the Match
Live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. It differs from regular betting because odds change with every event in the game.
In T20, when a wicket falls, the batting team's match winner odds rise immediately; if the very next ball is a six, they drop again. If the run rate per over goes up or down, the total runs over/under market also shifts.
In ODI, if the batting team scores few runs in the first ten overs powerplay, the target calculation changes and the bowling team's odds improve. In a fifty-over match, a mid-innings wicket or partnership can push the odds in either direction.
In a Test match, if the pitch deteriorates further by the end of the day or the weather changes, the probability of a draw can rise or fall — and the relevant odds move with it.
It is better not to make rushed decisions in live betting. Set a limit on how much you will stake before you start. Read the responsible gaming page to learn more about betting responsibly.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Choose markets based on the format: T20 matches end quickly, so multi bets carry higher risk. In ODI or Test, innings-based markets give you more time to think.
- Do not put all your money on one bet: Keep your stakes small so that one wrong decision does not ruin the fun. Betting is for enjoyment, not professional income.
- Watch the pitch and ground conditions: A spin-friendly pitch is more likely to produce a lower-scoring match — which can be relevant for under markets. But no result is certain.
- Keep selections low in a multi bet: Adding more than three selections reduces your chance of winning quickly. Fewer selections help you manage your betting balance.
- Know when to stop in live betting: If you lose several bets in a row during the excitement of a match, it is wiser to stop. Set a daily limit in advance.
- Read the rules: Knowing the terms and conditions means you will not be confused in unexpected situations. Full details are on 222bet's terms and conditions page.
