Cricket Betting at bajilive — bet on every format from T20 to Test
With multiple markets across BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket, live in-play odds, and easy payment methods, bajilive is a complete sports betting platform for Bangladeshi cricket fans.
The three formats of cricket and the tournaments Bangladeshi fans love
Cricket is divided into three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test. Each format has its own character, and bajilive offers betting on all three.
T20: The fastest format. With matches finishing in 20 overs, the situation can change in an instant. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Matches involving the Bangladesh national team, the Tigers, draw excitement across the country.
ODI: This fifty-over format puts greater emphasis on strategy and patience. The toss, batting order and mid-innings situation continuously shift the betting picture.
Test: This five-day format can end in a draw. Pitch behaviour on the third and fourth day, weather, and a batsman's patience all have to be factored in together.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, bajilive also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and a few other sports. In football a draw is a valid result, meaning you bet on one of three possible outcomes. In cricket's T20 or ODI formats there is generally only a win or a loss (a draw is possible in Test). This difference also affects how odds are set — with three possible outcomes, the odds on each tend to be lower.
Football betting has markets like half-time result, exact scoreline, or both teams to score — none of which exist in cricket. Cricket has its own markets such as runs in a specific over, partnerships, and man of the match.
Popular cricket betting markets
bajilive offers several types of markets for cricket matches. Below are seven popular markets with a simple explanation of each.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI — three in Test (including draw). The simplest and most widely used market.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. The result is entirely independent — the strength of either team plays no part here.
Top Run-Scorer
Which batsman from a given team will score the most runs. Batting order and pitch conditions are relevant factors here.
Total Runs — Over / Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an entire innings or a specific number of overs will be above or below a set number.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. The structure of the bowling attack and the batting line-up are relevant here.
Powerplay Runs
A bet on whether runs in the first 6 overs will be above or below a set number. The team's openers and the pace of the pitch are the key factors.
Multi bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single combo bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger — if any one is wrong the entire bet is lost.

How to read odds — three formats explained
bajilive displays odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the presentation differs. The two examples below make it clear.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳500
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return on a ৳500 bet: ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone. |
Example 2 — Team B is favourite, bet ৳500
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return on a ৳500 bet: ৳625 (৳125 profit) |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked — the sign of a favourite |
| American | -400 | Minus means favourite — a ৳400 bet is needed to make ৳100 profit |
In short: decimal odds are always above 1 — multiply by the stake to get the total return. Fractional odds show the profit ratio as numerator/denominator. In American odds, plus means underdog and minus means favourite.
Betting is always for entertainment. Winnings cannot be guaranteed in advance. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live in-play betting — odds that shift wicket by wicket
The most engaging betting experience in cricket is in-play or live betting. When a wicket falls, a six is hit, or the powerplay ends, the odds change immediately.
Say Team A is 140/3 after 18 overs — at that moment they are likely ahead, so their win odds will shorten and Team B's odds will lengthen. A key wicket could flip the picture again. In live mode at bajilive these changes are visible in real time.
Timing matters in in-play betting — if there is not enough time before placing a bet, the opportunity closes. At the same time, it is important to stay calm under the pressure of quick decisions. Always treat betting as entertainment — decide in advance how much you are willing to spend.
After a wicket
Odds move quickly after a big wicket — read the situation before deciding.
In the final overs
When the run target is close in the last five overs, odds change the most.
Some useful pointers for cricket betting
Keeping a few things in mind makes for a better experience when betting on cricket at bajilive. These are not strategies — they are general precautions that help keep betting within the bounds of entertainment.
Set a budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Do not go beyond that — win or lose.
Understand one market well
Start with a straightforward market like match winner. Rather than betting across many markets at once, pick one and focus on it.
Be careful with multi bets
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90, the combined odds come to around 5.17 — a ৳100 bet has the chance to return ৳517, but if even one selection is wrong the entire ৳100 is gone.
Avoid large bets after a loss
Placing a large bet to recover a loss increases the risk significantly. Treat each match separately.
No rushing in live betting
In-play betting requires quick decisions — but it is better to base them on what is happening in the match rather than on impulse alone.
