Cricket Betting at kriya — Bet Across All Formats from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL or international matches — follow every cricket moment at kriya. Match winner, top batsman, live betting, multi bet — all in one place.
Three Cricket Formats — and How Betting Differs
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The style of play is different in each format, so the betting markets work differently too.
T20 is the fastest format — the game wraps up in just 20 overs. In tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL or the T20 World Cup, T20 odds shift rapidly every over, because a boundary or a wicket can change the picture of the match at any moment.
ODI is a 50-over game. Here, markets like match winner, top batsman and total runs are more popular, because the pace of the game changes a little more slowly than in T20.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is a valid result, so Test matches generally have three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or the match is drawn. In this format, bettors factor in pitch conditions, weather and the final session of the day before making a decision.
BPL is the most familiar domestic T20 league for cricket fans in Bangladesh. ICC international tournaments and the Tigers' bilateral series also get special attention for betting at kriya. Those interested in games beyond sports can visit the kriya Slots page for details on various slot games.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at kriya. Football betting is quite different from cricket — in football the result is decided within 90 minutes and a draw is a common outcome. So football typically offers a "1X2" market — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins.
In cricket, wickets, run rate and partnerships play a big role in setting odds, whereas in football the number of goals, ball possession and card-related stats matter more. In T20 cricket a match ends in just three to four hours, so the pace of betting is much higher. In football, though the game runs across two halves, live betting opportunities are roughly equal in both sports.
Betting markets are also available for sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi, but cricket and football remain the most popular among bettors in Bangladesh.
7 Popular Markets in Cricket
The rules for each market are different. Below is a simple explanation of seven familiar markets.
Match Winner
SimplestA straight prediction — will Team A or Team B win. There is no draw in T20 and ODI, so there are only two options. In Test matches, a draw is also a possible result.
Toss Betting
Quick ResultYou predict who will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known within minutes — the toss is essentially a 50-50 chance.
Top Batsman
Team BetYou pick which batsman will score the most runs in the innings. Example: you look at Team A's batting lineup and place a bet on a specific batsman.
Total Runs Over/Under
Run PredictionThe bookmaker sets a line, for example whether total runs will be more than 160. If you choose "Over" and the total is 161 or more, the bet wins.
Multi Bet
Multiple BetsCombining the results of multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the odds are multiplied — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Man of the Match
Individual PerformanceYou pick the player who delivers the best performance in the match. Both bowlers and batsmen can appear as options.
Handicap Betting
Levelling the AdvantageOne team is given a virtual run advantage or disadvantage to narrow the gap between the two sides and make the match more even. The outcome is understood in general terms; no specific run example is given.
Decimal, Fractional and American — Three Types of Odds
Betting sites typically show odds in three formats. All three represent the same outcome of the same match expressed differently — the value stays the same.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Odds for Team B to Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | −125 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳500 stake):
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200 — all three are the same value.
If the bet wins, total return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake);
if the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Bet on Team B to win (৳500 stake):
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
On a ৳500 stake, total return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Most betting platforms in Bangladesh use the decimal format because it shows the full return directly. However, kriya also lets you switch between formats.
Multi Bet Example
If you combine three selections from three separate matches into one bet, the odds are multiplied:
Selection 1: Decimal 1.40
Selection 2: Decimal 1.50
Selection 3: Decimal 1.60
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately)
Return on a ৳100 stake is ৳336 — but all three selections must be correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
You can place bets after the match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly engaging, because every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over instantly affects the odds.
Say Team A is batting and has scored 50 runs in the first five overs — their odds of winning will shorten (meaning the probability has increased). If two wickets fall in the next over, the odds will lengthen again.
In T20 these shifts happen very quickly, so there is limited time to decide in live betting. In ODI and Test matches the changes come more gradually, giving you a little more time to analyse.

Some Practical Tips Before You Start
- Understand the format before betting. T20, ODI and Test matches have different rules. A strategy that works in one format may need a different approach in another.
- Set your budget in advance. It is a good idea to decide beforehand how much you will stake on each match. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a source of income.
- Be careful with multi bets. Even with higher odds, a single wrong selection puts the entire bet at risk. It is better for beginners to start with single bets.
- Do not rush in live betting. Odds change fast in in-play betting. Watch how the match unfolds before deciding, rather than betting on impulse.
- Read the terms and conditions. To understand bet cancellation scenarios, refund policy and special rules for live betting, check the kriya Terms and Conditions page.
- Play responsibly. Know your limits. If you lose, take a break rather than trying to chase your losses.
