Cricket Formats and Tournaments — How to Bet on Each
T20 is the most popular cricket format among fans in Bangladesh. The rise and fall of runs and wickets in every over keeps betting active. During the BPL season competition among local teams is at its peak, and in IPL bettors analyse the performance of top players from around the world. Matches featuring Bangladesh Tigers in the T20 World Cup and bilateral series also attract the most interest.
In ODI cricket, the game shifts gradually over fifty overs — run rate, partnerships and pitch behaviour all influence betting markets. Test cricket is played over five days, so it offers session-based markets, first innings lead and draw probability options that are not available in T20 or ODI.
Besides ICC tournaments, jili live keeps multiple markets open for bilateral series and Asia Cup matches. Understanding the characteristics of each format helps you read the situation before placing a bet.
Betting options across different cricket formats
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
jili live offers many types of markets for cricket. The seven most commonly used markets are explained below:
Match Winner
Pick which team will win. In T20 there are no draws, so you choose between two options. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
The result is available before the match starts. Pick which team will win the toss. This is a fully independent market — it has no connection to the match result.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs. Whether it is the highest scorer within a team or across the whole match, this market is popular with bettors who prefer performance-based betting.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific runs line — for example 160. Bet on whether the total runs will be more (over) or less (under) than that line. Pitch and weather conditions play a big role in this market.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. You win only if all selections are correct. Example: combining odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 across three matches gives total odds of 3.36 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳336, but if any single bet is wrong, you lose everything.
First Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over — this is a small, quick-result market. The combination of batsman and bowler in the powerplay plays an important role here.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at jili live. In football a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins. Because of this, football match winner odds are structured slightly differently from cricket.
In cricket there is no draw (in T20 and ODI), so odds are split between two teams. In Test cricket a draw is possible, giving three options just like in football. Betting structures for kabaddi, tennis or other sports are different — markets are set up according to the nature of each sport.
jili live also offers virtual sports betting, where you can bet on computer-generated matches all day — visit the virtual sports page to find out more.

How to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
The price of the same bet can be written in three different formats. Take Team A winning as an example — those odds would be written in three formats as follows:
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return including stake. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000). |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 profit. |
| American | +150 | A plus sign means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 profit. |
All three formats convey the same result — only the way they are written differs. jili live generally displays decimal format, which is the easiest to read.
Quick odds checklist
- Decimal odds never go below 1.00 — 1.00 means no profit.
- Higher odds mean lower probability — but the return is also higher if you win.
- In American format, + means underdog, − means favourite.
- In a multi bet, odds are multiplied, so the risk increases too.

Odds Change When a Wicket Falls — How Live Betting Works
You can place bets after a match has started — that is in-play betting. Odds keep changing with every wicket, every over and every big shot.
Say Team A is batting in a T20 match and loses two wickets in the powerplay — Team A's chances of winning drop, so their odds increase. Meanwhile Team B's odds decrease. Being able to read these shifting situations makes in-play betting more varied.
New markets may open after the powerplay ends or following a mid-match review. However, in-play betting comes with time pressure — decisions have to be made quickly. Live markets can be accessed from anywhere via the jili live App on jili live's mobile platform.
Betting on rapidly changing in-play odds means there is potential for a larger return, but the risk is equally high. Never bet beyond your budget.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Understand the pitch report
On a spin-friendly pitch, total runs are more likely to be lower. Knowing the pitch type makes it easier to decide on over/under markets.
-
Focus on one format
Start by focusing fully on either T20 or ODI. Without understanding the characteristics of each format, it is difficult to bet across all of them at once.
-
Set your budget in advance
Before the match starts, decide the maximum amount you will bet. Avoid going beyond your budget in the heat of an in-play moment.
-
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but one wrong selection and you lose everything. Until you have enough experience, do not combine more than 2–3 selections.
-
Check the weather and toss result
In a rain-affected match the target can change under the D/L method, which affects total runs markets. Knowing the toss-winning team's decision helps clarify the situation.
-
Accept losses
Unexpected results are a normal part of cricket. If you lose, rushing back in with another bet is not a good idea — keep a mindset of playing for entertainment.
-
Play responsibly
Make sure betting does not cause problems in your daily life. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set limits if needed.
