criex Cricket Betting — Best Markets Across All Formats from T20 to Test
From match winner to live in-play across BPL, IPL and international cricket — all on one platform. Bangladeshi payment methods, support in Bengali.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats — Test, ODI and T20 — each have a different style of play, so betting strategies differ as well. Test matches run over five days, meaning odds shift frequently depending on wickets and pitch conditions. In ODIs, the scoring pace can change quickly within 50 overs, and in T20 matches the picture can change on every single ball.
The most popular tournaments among cricket fans in Bangladesh are the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL (Indian Premier League) and the ICC T20 World Cup. The BPL features domestic teams going head to head, while the Bangladesh Tigers' performance in international tournaments is always a talking point.
At criex, various markets are open for matches in all three formats. The sports betting guide covers other sports and betting rules in detail.
Football and Other Sports
At criex you can bet on football alongside cricket. Football markets include not just match winner but also number of goals, handicap and corner count. The difference from cricket is that cricket markets are divided by innings or over, while football considers half-time and full-time separately.
Betting markets are also available for kabaddi, tennis and badminton. Because each sport has a different scoring system, the pace and nature of live odds changes vary as well. To see the full list of sports and markets, visit the criex sports betting page.
Popular Betting Markets
These are the markets that see the most betting on criex cricket. A brief introduction to each is given below.
Match Winner
Simple MarketPick which of the two teams will win. There are no draws in T20, but in Test matches a draw is also an option. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team B, you win only if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
Quick MarketBet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely chance-based, so the odds for both teams are usually close. Example: Team A will win the toss — this has no connection to the match result.
Top Batsman
Team MarketPick who will score the most runs within a given team. This bet takes into account the pace of the innings, pitch type and batting order. Example: Team A's opener will be their top scorer.
Total Runs Over/Under
Score MarketThe bookmaker sets a number — you bet on whether the actual score will be higher or lower. Example: If the total runs line in a T20 is set at 160, the over bet wins if both teams combined score 161 or more.
Multi Bet
Multiple MatchesCombining multiple bets multiplies the odds of each, so the return is higher — but if any one loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: Three bets at 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳456 if all three win.
First Innings Score
Innings MarketAn over/under bet on how many runs a team will score in the first innings. Pitch and weather have a greater influence in Test and ODI, while the powerplay largely determines the outcome in T20. Example: Team A will score more than 280 in the first innings — this is an over bet.
How to Read Odds
Betting odds are displayed in three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just presented differently.
If Team A wins, return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake returned). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
American minus odds mean how much you need to bet to win 100. Here, if Team B wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest format — multiply the odds by your stake to get the total return. criex shows decimal odds by default.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Over by Over
In the live betting section during a match, odds update automatically after every wicket, boundary and over. For example, if two wickets fall in the first over — the batting team's odds of winning increase while the fielding team's odds shorten. These changes happen fast, so live betting requires a bit more attention.
In T20, the pace of the game can shift dramatically in the final five overs — one big over can turn the whole situation around. In Test matches, wickets are more likely to fall at the start and end of sessions, so live odds tend to show bigger movements at those times.
Enjoy live betting as part of the entertainment — set your budget before placing bets and follow the responsible gaming policy.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Keeping the following points in mind makes for a more organised betting experience. Remember, betting is for entertainment — it is best not to treat it as a source of income.
-
Choose markets based on the format. Run rates change quickly in T20, and a draw is possible in Test — consider the format before choosing a market.
-
Be careful with multi bets. The odds multiply, but one loss takes the whole bet. Keeping multi bets to fewer selections makes it easier to manage risk.
-
Set your budget in advance. Bet within a fixed budget. Avoid going beyond that budget to chase losses.
-
No rushing in live betting. In-play odds change fast. Take a moment to observe the match situation before making a decision.
-
Learn to read decimal odds. Multiply the odds by your stake to get the total potential return — it is the most straightforward method.
-
Know the rules and terms. Reading criex's terms and conditions before betting helps avoid confusion later.
