Cricket Betting at bab 88 — Place bets on every format from T20 to Test
From BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup to bilateral series — all cricket matches in one place. Bet across multiple markets: match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
T20 Cricket
The fastest format — in a 20-over match, the situation can change on every ball. BPL and IPL are the two most popular leagues in this format. Interest in betting rises significantly when Bangladesh Tigers play in the T20 World Cup.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI Cricket
This 50-over format relies more on strategy and patience. ODI matches take place in the ICC World Cup and bilateral series. From a betting perspective, the longer duration means the match can shift considerably — odds changing mid-match is common.
ICC WC BilateralTest Cricket
The five-day Test match is cricket's most classic format. A draw is a valid result here — so the betting market covers three outcomes (win/loss/draw). Test matches offer a wide variety of markets for patient bettors.
Test ChampionshipFootball Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at bab 88. In a 90-minute football match, the usual markets include match winner, goalscorer and total goals. Draws are far more common in football than in cricket, so the odds structure is different.
International ClubOther Sports
Betting options are available for tennis, badminton and other sports as well. Each sport has its own market structure. For example, set-by-set betting is popular in tennis, while over-by-over analysis matters more in cricket.

Popular Betting Markets with Simple Examples
Cricket betting offers many types of markets. Each market is different because each requires a different kind of prediction. Below are straightforward explanations of seven popular markets:
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes (Team A or Team B); in Test there are three (win, loss or draw). Example: if Team A wins, your bet succeeds; if Team B wins, your bet is lost.
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is unrelated to the match result — it depends only on the outcome of the toss.
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Usually placed on the highest scorer within one team.
A bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. For example: will total runs exceed 320?
A bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls. This market is especially popular in T20.
A prediction of which player will receive the Man of the Match award at the end of the game. Both batsmen and bowlers can win it.
Combining multiple selections into a multi bet multiplies the odds together. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Visit the bab 88 Bet page to learn more about multi bets.
How to Understand Odds — Three Formats
In cricket betting, odds are displayed in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The examples below make the difference easy to understand.
| Format | Team A Win | Team B Win (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | −200 |
In American odds, a "−" sign means that team is the favourite — it shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A "+" sign shows how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet.
Multi Bet Example
Say you place bets on three separate matches:
- Selection 1 — Odds: 1.50
- Selection 2 — Odds: 1.80
- Selection 3 — Odds: 1.90
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all three win. But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Live In-Play Betting — Changes During the Match
LIVE In-play betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. In cricket this is particularly interesting because every wicket, every boundary and every over directly affects the odds.
Say Team A has scored 100 runs for 5 wickets in the first innings — at that point Team A's odds to win will lengthen because their position is weak. But if two batsmen then build a big partnership, the odds will shift again.
In T20, if the required run rate is very high in the last 5 overs, the defending team's odds shorten. In ODI, live betting after the 25th over based on how the match is going is a different experience altogether.
Betting is a form of entertainment — play responsibly. Visit the bab 88 Responsible Gaming page for detailed information on setting your own limits and healthy betting habits.
Remember: Live odds change very quickly. Keep a close eye on the match situation and stay within your set budget.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind Before Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping a few simple points in mind helps keep the experience clean.
- Set a budget beforehand. Decide on a fixed amount before each session. Keep it within what you can afford to lose that month — treat it as entertainment spending, not investment capital.
- Bet on markets you understand. Start with simpler markets like match winner or toss winner. Once you understand the odds, move on to other markets gradually.
- Keep emotions in check during live betting. The excitement of the match makes it easy to decide quickly. But before placing a large live bet, pause and think it through.
- Be careful with multi bets. Multi bets offer higher potential profit, but also higher risk. Keeping multi bet amounts small is the sensible approach.
- Watch both your time and your money. Check occasionally how long you have been betting. Take a break after a set period.
- Not for under 21s. All betting and casino services at bab 88 are for users aged 21+ only.
