krikiya Cricket Betting — T20, ODI and Test Betting in Bangladesh
From BPL to the T20 World Cup — all major tournament matches in one place for cricket fans in Bangladesh. krikiya is ready with clear odds, straightforward markets and live in-play betting.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
The three main cricket formats are T20, ODI and Test — each has its own pace and character, and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format. Each team plays only 20 overs, so the result is decided within a few hours. Bangladesh's most popular domestic tournament, the BPL, is played in this format. The Bangladesh Tigers' matches at the ICC T20 World Cup also generate excitement across the country.
ODI gives each team 50 overs. It takes a bit longer but finishes in a single day. ODI betting offers more variety with markets on a batsman's total runs, partnerships and bowler performance.
Test cricket can last up to five days and a draw is a possible result. The match moves much more slowly, so markets on a team's innings total or who leads after the first innings are quite popular.
On the international stage, India's IPL is one of the biggest draws for cricket fans worldwide. Cricket fans in Dhaka follow both BPL and IPL with equal interest, and krikiya lets you bet on matches from both tournaments.
Football and Other Sports
While cricket is at the heart of this site, krikiya also offers betting on football and other sports. Football has a significant fanbase in Bangladesh, and interest in European club matches continues to grow.
There are some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting. Cricket has many specialised markets based on runs, wickets, overs and individual batsmen — none of which exist in football. Football more commonly features match winner, total goals (over/under) and both teams to score markets. A draw is only possible in Test cricket, whereas any football match can end in a draw.
Cricket
The most options available — runs, wickets, overs and batsman markets. Betting is most active during BPL and T20 World Cup season.
Football
Match winner, number of goals, half-time result. Fans are most active during European leagues and World Cup qualifiers.
Esports
krikiya also has esports betting. Visit the Esports Betting page for details on esports tournaments.
Popular Betting Markets with Simple Examples
Cricket betting has many types of markets. Each has its own rules and approach. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. Example: if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, the bet succeeds; if Team A does not win, the bet loses.
T20 · ODI · TestToss Winner
Pick which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely independent — it has no connection to pitch conditions or weather.
Pre-MatchTop Run Scorer
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match? This market lets you pick the best batsman from a specific team.
T20 · ODITotal Runs Over/Under
Decide whether the combined runs scored by both teams will go over or stay under a set number.
All FormatsFirst Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over of the match? In T20 this market is settled very quickly and is also available in live betting.
T20 · ODITop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? You can study bowling performance in Test or ODI matches and use that to enter this market.
ODI · TestMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
You can combine multiple matches or markets into a single multi bet. If all selections are correct, the payout is much higher, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet loses. For example — if you pick 3 selections across three separate matches, all three must be correct.
How to Understand Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
The same bet price is written in three different formats. Whichever way the site displays them, the market value is the same.
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳500 stake)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If Team A wins: total return ৳1,125 — that is ৳625 profit plus your original ৳500 back. If Team A loses, ৳500 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (৳500 stake)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
American minus odds show how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit. With a ৳500 stake, the total return is ৳625 — profit of ৳125.
Decimal is the easiest to read: multiply your stake by the number to get the total return. With American odds, a positive (+) number shows profit on a ৳100 stake, while a negative (−) number shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
All three formats are shown together on the odds slip
Live Odds That Change with Wickets and Overs
You can bet after the match has started — this is called in-play or live betting. It differs from pre-match betting because the odds change after every ball.
Example: if the first team makes a strong start, their odds to win shorten (the bet becomes less profitable), while the other team's odds lengthen. A quick burst of wickets mid-match can flip the picture entirely.
In-play betting in T20 is the most fast-moving — changes during the powerplay, middle overs or death overs directly affect the odds. In Test matches, odds shift more gradually across sessions (morning, afternoon, tea).
When placing a live bet, decisions need to be made fairly quickly because odds can change in moments. The bet that has been confirmed is final — even if the odds change afterwards, the value of that bet stays fixed.

Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
-
01
Get to know one format well first. T20, ODI and Test each have different paces and markets. Once you are comfortable with one format, the others become easier to follow.
-
02
Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session. Betting is for entertainment — keep that in mind.
-
03
Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple selections does increase the potential payout, but if any one of them is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For beginners, it is better to start with simple match winner markets.
-
04
Compare odds. Looking at the odds across different markets for the same match will help you understand which outcome is being given more weight. The higher the odds number, the less likely that outcome is considered to be.
-
05
Bet responsibly. Betting is entertainment — it is not a source of income. If you lose, placing bigger bets to recover the loss is not the right approach. If you feel the need, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Keep in Mind
- Betting is for those aged 21 and above.
- Odds can change at any time.
- A bet is only finalised once the match is confirmed.
- To understand the rules, read the Terms and Conditions.
