kriya Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
From BPL, IPL and international matches to markets ranging from match winner to over/under — find every cricket betting market in one place at kriya. This page covers formats, markets, odds and live betting in plain language.
Cricket's three formats and the tournaments Bangladeshi fans love
T20 Cricket
Each innings is just 20 overs — the fastest format and the most popular one in Bangladesh. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Because the game moves quickly, odds shift with every over, which makes live betting particularly engaging.
ODI Cricket
Strategy plays a bigger role in this 50-over format. Bangladesh Tigers have played consistent ODI cricket for many years. The ICC Champions Trophy and the World Cup are held in this format. Because matches are longer, in-play markets go through far more changes.
Test Cricket
This five-day format is the oldest and deepest form of cricket. First-class statistics and pitch conditions directly influence the odds here. Because a draw is possible, three-outcome markets are available — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL means supporting local teams and the heat of domestic rivalry. At kriya, each BPL match has its own dedicated markets where you can bet on everything from the toss to the top run-scorer.
Even though the IPL is held in India, Bangladeshi viewers follow it closely. The fast pace of T20 means odds shift instantly after every wicket or boundary.
For every Bangladesh Tigers international series, kriya provides full market coverage — from the main match winner market to live over-by-over betting.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, kriya also offers betting on football and many other sports. Bangladeshi viewers are most interested in the Premier League, La Liga and the World Cup. The key difference in football is that a draw is a separate result — so markets typically offer three options: Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is that in cricket, ball-by-ball data — wickets, run rate, powerplay phases — moves the odds much faster, whereas in football it is big events like goals or red cards that shift them. The same logic applies to basketball or tennis — each sport's own rhythm makes its markets distinct.
For those who want to track markets across multiple sports at the same time, 24 Hour Grand Prix offers a dedicated experience with continuous event coverage.
Popular cricket betting markets
The list of cricket markets at kriya is long. Below are seven of the most commonly used markets, each with a straightforward example.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there is no draw — two options; in Test there are three.
Example: Team A odds 1.45, Team B odds 2.75 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,375 if Team B wins.
All FormatsToss Winner
Place a bet on who will win the toss before the match starts — choose between two equally likely outcomes.
Example: Both teams have roughly equal odds. Selecting either team activates the bet.
Pre-MatchTop Run-Scorer
Who will score the most runs in a match or innings? Pick one player from a listed selection.
Example: If a team's opening batter is most likely to score the most runs, their odds will be lower.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number.
Example: If the line in a T20 is set at 320, 'over' wins if both teams combine for 321 or more runs.
T20 and ODIPowerplay Runs
Bet on how many runs a team will score in the first 6 overs of a T20 powerplay. The overall performance of the opening batters matters most here.
Example: If the powerplay over/under line is set at 50, 'over' wins with 50.5 or more runs.
T20Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining results from multiple matches or markets into one bet creates a multi bet. If every selection is correct, the odds multiply and the return is larger.
Example: 3 selections — odds 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03. A ৳100 bet returns ৳403 if all win; one loss and the whole bet is gone.
All FormatsWicket Market
Bet on how many wickets a team will lose in an innings, or how many wickets a specific bowler will take.
Example: '6 or more wickets to fall' in a T20 innings — odds are set based on the pitch type and bowling strength.
ODI and TestA straightforward guide to understanding odds
Odds represent the potential return on a bet. The same odds can be written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. kriya generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three is useful.
A bet on Team A winning, ৳200 stake. Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If it wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
A bet on Team B winning. Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (American minus odds show how much stake is needed to make 100 in profit). A ৳200 stake returns ৳250 if it wins (৳50 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. In fractional odds the first number is the profit and the second is the stake. American plus odds show the profit on a 100 stake; minus odds show the stake needed to make 100 in profit.

The three odds formats at a glance
| Format | Written as | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × 2.50 = return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 3 profit for every 2 staked |
| American | +150 | 150 profit on a 100 stake |
The numbers above are examples only — live odds change at every moment.
Live in-play betting — place bets while the match is on
Live betting or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is especially relevant because every over, every wicket and every boundary shifts the odds instantly.
As an example: in a T20, Team A needs 160 to win and has scored 70 in 10 overs but has lost 4 wickets. At this point Team A's odds of winning will rise because the task has become harder, while Team B's odds will shorten.
A few things to keep in mind for in-play betting: the nature of the pitch (batting or bowling friendly), the dew factor (moisture on the ground in evening matches), and the batting order of the power hitters. Understanding these makes it easier to act on live market movements.

Practical tips for cricket betting
Choose markets based on the format
Odds and markets differ across T20, ODI and Test. An aggressive batter or a death-over specialist carries far more value in T20 than in Test. Knowing the characteristics of each format makes market selection easier.
Follow pitch reports and weather
The pitch and weather directly determine the pace of a cricket match. A spinning pitch increases the chance of mid-innings wickets; a flat pitch tends to produce more runs. This is useful when deciding on over/under markets.
More selections in a multi bet means more risk
Every selection in a multi bet must be correct. One wrong pick and the whole bet is lost. Three selections increase the potential return, but with five or six selections the chance of at least one going wrong keeps rising.
Set your budget before you start
Set a separate budget for each match and stay within it. Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping to a fixed amount makes it easier to enjoy the experience. To learn more about responsible play, read the responsible gaming page.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play markets. Waiting a short while after a major event lets the market settle a little. Taking time to read the situation rather than placing a bet in a hurry leads to better decisions.
Quick tips
- Start by becoming familiar with one format
- Check both pre-match and live markets
- Decimal odds make calculations easier
- Be careful when adding more than three selections to a multi bet
- Betting is entertainment — not a source of income
